Heston's guns
Any man who understands the value of keeping a prop jet in his front yard and 9 BAR's and 2 flame throwers in his basement is just all right by me. Romeo November four niner

Yep, and that Prop-Jet is actually powered by four Chrysler hemi engines, two in tandem on each side, disguised to look like a prop-jet. Looks like he really liked the BAR. Would have been kool for...

Klick; Having used the BAR in action, I am utterly convinced that it is the best squad automatic weapon ever deployed in numbers. Accurate, powerful, light enough to be able to handled by one man with...

That's ok rn49, the 30US cartridge dates from 1903, and there's not much fault one can find with it. 1918 don't bother me! For our purposes, if full auto was legal, the BAR could indeed be the best SAW.

Here's what you do with a 20mm. You bury that 20mm about 300 yards away from your "retreat". When the bad guys take said retreat from you, you dig up said 20mm, and take it back. !!! Oh yeah.

You guys have it all wrong. 20mm's are for blasting open money vaults! and then when it goes bad, you end up finding the old school house that you hid the money in the last time you used a 20mm to...

Now I have to dust off that movie and see it again. IIRC, Clint was using an Oerlikon 20mm Anti-aircraft gun. Not that Hollywood would ever make a gun-related error. In October 1965 Canadian Joel...
