Any one see the show today on the History channel Tales of the gun? I can't remember what they called the storage depot but they have copies of all military weapons and equipment including jeeps, tanks, Thompsons etc. They opened a crate that had quite a few Thompsons and another crate with brand new BAR'S never issued and Grease guns still in the wrapper. Wonder if you could break in there and take a few items with out getting shot? wink- wink |
I saw that special today, kind of ironic since I shot my Thompson replica, an ar-15, and an sks yesterday. It was a good show, can't wait to watch the special about the St. Valentines Day Massacre tonight.

They use that clip in 2-3 different episodes.
Makes my mouth drool looking at those crates of beauties.

The myth (urban-legend) that they were "busting" last night was the typical Hollywood tendency of someone who's been shot to fly backwards across the room.
They shot a suspended pig carcass and a crash dummy with various weapons, including an M1 Thompson (!). The only time they got any noticeable movement (and not much at all) was with a 12 gauge slug.
It was interesting to watch and showed that the Laws of Physics apply, except in the movies.
