you are sent back in time to join the team that ambushed bonnie and clyde, what historically accurate weapon (ambush took place in 1934) would you choose?
Colt Monitor Machine Rifle
>>32506015
m1919.
Or if for some reason i managed to get a hold of one, an MG34. Designed 1929, introduced 1934 but not really issued.
Still counts though
>>32506015
BAR
>>32506015
MG 34

An M1919 in its original manportable, stocked variant.
>>32506032

>MG 34

>>32506015
A couple of BAR's. a 1919.
And some Winchester 1905's in .35 WSL
Just give me a m1903 and ill hang back
>>32506015
Winchester 1897
>Slam fire the entire tube
Colt M1895 mounted on an elephant
75mm Pack Howitzer M1
>>32506015
a 1911 in .38 super and a B.A.R. naturally.
>>32506030
>Colt Monitor Machine Rifle
Just when you though the BAR was heavy.
>>32506015
QF 1-pounder pom-pom
No kill like overkill.
>>32506015

God that's a sexy gun
>>32506015
>>32506015
What they actually used seemed to work well.

Too sexy.
>>32506590
hnnng how is the recoil on that thing?
>>32506430
hey just what you see pal
>>32506015
I create a low profile dugout on either side of the road, so that each hole can see down the entire stretch of straight highway. These are disguised with foliage to look like natural overgrowth from the surrounding woods.
One hole is armed with a Browning M1917 and 500 rounds of belted. 30-06.
The other trench is equipped with a 37mm mle. 1916 infantry support gun.
The car comes into sight, as soon as it notices the overgrowth is a bit suspicious, they screech to a halt 200-500 feet out. The artillery fires an HE shell into the car, and then the machine gun crew unloads the entire belt into the vehicle simply for fear value.
A precedent is set, and throughout the nation mobsters and criminals are stopped by way of explosive direct fire support.
>>32506015
>one year before s&w registered magnum comes out
Fuck.
Type 95 Ha-Go.
I have a fucking tank, they're screwed.
>>32506015

Ppsh hell of a shatgan
>>32506015
sorry to derail thread but why were those not complete pass thoughs??
>>32509836
Because back in the day cars were made with stronger steel
>>32509836
This>>32510356
And also ammo wasnt what it is today
They maybe even used full led bullets
I would use pic realtet because it lools awesome
>>32506015
AR-15, the 1915 version, though.
BAR is the only choice
>>32506030
probably this
No love for Lewis?
For a static ambush site I think that it would go real well.
>>32506030
>>32506212
Why didn't Monitor replace M1918 in WWII? Was it too expensive? Why in the world did they field A2 instead? It was somehow even worse than the original!
>>32506015
Tompson machine gun
>>32506015
The only answer
>>32510529
>>that ribbed barrel
probably too expensive. Even the monitor still wouldn't be enough to be a decent lmg. it still have the same 20 rd mag and non-removable barrel.
>>32510576
True. But at least it would actually a step up from the Garand instead of a step down.
they had slugs back then right?
>>32510610
probably not
cut shells maybe
>>32506015
75 mm Gun M1917
doesnt matter what weapon im given, i'd miss on purpose and live vicariously through their exploits by reading the newspaper and smoking a cigar.
>>32510610
>>32510634
Wax slugs perhaps?
>>32506334
while they did make those 30 rounders for the FBI, I don't believe one was actually used at the shootout.
>>32506334
came to post this
>>32506543
It's just what you see, pal
any good quality photos of the dead bodies?

>>32512892
thanks, they got shot to shit I see
>>32512865
Yes indeed. There's a pretty cool forgotten weapons episode about it.
>>32506015
>implying I wouldn't just take a few steps back and just shoot the policemen in their backs while they are distracted with watching the road and I allow bonnie and Clyde live another day after that event.
I will be the time traveling hero!
