"It's been speculated that Joey "Batters" Accardo, who also worked as Capone's bodyguard, had a hand in planning the bloody 1929 St. Valentine's Day Massacre that left seven members of the Bugs Moran gang dead. In his book, Accardo: The Genuine Godfather, Former FBI agent William F. Roemer Jr. said it was possible that Accardo was a machine gunner. The case, of course, was never solved." http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2016/4/18/11454086/joey-bosa-great-grandfather-mob-boss-chicago-al-capone

I came across this website tonight and thought it was interesting. http://www.zdziarski.com/blog/?paged=4 I then Googled "Al Capone's machine gun" and found the following link, http://travelphotobase.com/v/USNYC/NYMP041.HTM ie another AC machine gun held by the NYPD Doe's anybody know anything of the authenticity of either of these guns? On a last note, I also came across this link of a miniature weapon website, apparently located in Russia(???), http://miniaturearsenal.com/miniature-weapons/submachine_guns/52-thompson_1921_drum.html Anybody know anything about this outfit or any of their gear?
