I saw some documentary about them or the era.

One account by a LEO on cornering them someplace and encountering Bonnie went something like "...and then this little redheaded thing came out, wielding a [cut-down] BAR. The rounds impacted the tree next to me, and the concussions sent me tumbling backwards. Probably saved my life..."

I think they are fascinating, as well as the other gangsters of that era.
I saw or read, on of the reasons they (B&C) were so hard to catch was they filled the cars up with gas, did their thing and floored it out out where ever they were until they ran out, probably traveling 75-80 mph.
Since most people where not driving those speeds by the time road blocks were set up, they were gone.
I never realized from the pictures she was a redhead. Bonnie was tiny, I wonder how she had the strength to handle all that fire power.
