CLYDE AND HIS GUNS




Clyde Barrow, holding a Browning automatic rifle. BAR's could fire a
twenty-shot magazine loaded with armor-piercing ammunition in under three seconds.


Below is a colorized version of the above photo by Chuck Flynn.
What really fascinates me about this particular colorization, is the
3D effect it seems to portray! The smallest details pop out at you,
such as the little dings in the front fender, just below his coat, and
the tire impressions and foot prints can be seen in the road surface.

is likey not the weapon used by Hamer in the ambush of 1934.

Rifle used in ambush?







GIFT TO FRANK HAMER



The above photo shows a set of carved Steer Head Ivory pistol grips,
one side of which is engraved "Given to Frank Hamer - 1934 - by the
Mt. Lebanon, Okla. Sheriff's Dept". Frank Hamer Jr. had authenticated
these grips and stated that the grips were for his father's Smith & Wesson
which he had used to killed Gee McMeans in Sweetwater, Texas in 1917.

The story of killing Gee McMeans can be found on pages 70 through 73 of "I'm Frank Hamer.

REMINGTON RIFLE USED IN AMBUSH

Remington Model 8 semi-automatic rifle
was used by Deputy Prentiss Oakley
to gun down Bonnie and Clyde





WINCHESTER MODEL 94 LEVER ACTION 30.30

Sheriff Henderson Jordan had used this model weapon in the ambush.
The Model 94 symbolizes "the romance of the West" and considered
"America’s favorite deer rifle of the 20th century". Oakley had
borrowed the Winchester from a hunting buddy who had kept the
weapon locked away in the Bank's vault. Click on link below to
view an image of a Winchester, similar to the one he had used.

CLYDE'S SUPPOSED "CUSTOM MADE" SCATTERGUN
Clyde was said to have cut down the stock just past the buffer tube, shortened the
barrel of the B.A.R. and welded together three 20 round magazines to make it a 57 round
capacity. (causing the loss of three rounds, due to the weld marks between the magazines).

However, the theory of welding together three magazines would have not only placed the
magazines at an ackward angle, but the internal springs would no longer have the ability
to properly feed the rounds into the gun's chamber. Nevertheless, this weapon, with
the barrel shortened was a deadly combination. Image below shows a replica image
that I had created on the computer, showing how the scattergun would have looked
had it been possible.
