Below, are photos of the "authentic" scattergun that Clyde Barrow had fashioned by cutting down the barrel from his Browning Automatic Rifle. Now displayed in the Missouri Highway Patrol's Museum in Jefferson City, are the scattergun and license plate recovered immediately after the Joplin shootout, along with photos of the gang. This weapon, along with it's armored piercing bullets, had sliced through an armored police vehicle, like a hot knife through butter, and would splinter a tree like kindling. One photo, shows Clyde posing at a roadside sign that he had used for target practice, his hand is resting through a fist sized hole which he likely made with this weapon. |
