Trench Guns On Tv

[rjb1]

This is not about trench guns in the present, but those who appreciate them may also appreciate this:

On our local "Classic TV" station they are showing episodes of "Police Story", a pretty good cop show from the seventies.

Aside from the leisure suits they all wear, the show is well above average for such shows.

 

The trench gun connection come from a recent episode in which the cops were chasing two bank robbers and the one in the passenger seat crawls in the back and breaks out the rear window and starts blazing away at the cops with a '97 Winchester trench gun. After they crash, they both get out and run, and the driver is also carrying a '97 trench gun.

I suppose they were just cheap Army-surplus TV-show props at the time, but I sure would like to have both of those now.
