Hey all,

Hope some of you managed to catch the modern marvels episode today on the history channel. It was devoted to ganster guns tech. They covered all sorts of cool weaponry just prior and right up into the sleuth era. This is a great episode, especially if your agency likes to role play and write storylines and sleuthville fiction.
Some Highlights For me:
whippet guns- sawed off shotguns
Bullet Proof Vests
Super .38 calibers-could penetrate police bulletproof vests
BAR-machine gun firing thirty ought six rounds-could penetrate cars
Tommy guns
A variety of small "pocket" guns that could be concealed on ones person

Definately worth a look if you can catch a re-run of this fine show. Plus alot of grisly pictures of dead gansters.
