I'll be posting every once and a while to keep the entertainment going,enjoy.The first gangster we'll look at is Baby Face Nelson.Nelson was,without a doubt a badazz.He kept a list of federal agents license plate numbers in his car.If Nelson saw one he would chase him down and kill him.
 

Heres an airsoft copy of Baby face Nelsons Colt 1911 that Nelson and John Dillinger had modified by gunsmith Hyman Saul Lebman from San Antonio Texas,they each had one. The Lebman 1911 Machine Pistol - Guns.com The video that showed a real one in action was pulled from youtube.
 

I will never understand why these new era gangsters hold their gun sideways. :dontknow:

Well their first problem is theyre punks not gangsters,gangsters robbed banks.These punks now a days rob quicky marts.The idiots now a days try to make up for not knowing how to hit a target for spray and pray shooting.Fire power is good,accuracy is final.Bonnie parker was 4'11' maybe 110 pounds.It was said that she could handle a Browning automatic rifle better than any marine.They knew their stuff,they had to.They could shot.
 

There have been long standing legends that the Shelton Gang stashed a lot of money near where I grew up in Central Illinois. Sure would be nice to take a trip home to see the family and happen to get my coil over some old gangster loot
 

Yup,imagine holding history like that in your hand.The last person to hold it is the one that stole it lol.
 

Wow, 7 rounds would be gone before the first casing hit the ground.

Nelson and Dillinger had 15 and 20 round magazines for their guns.1000 rounds a minute.
 

Witness to the shoot out between the feds and Baby Face Nelson

I despise barrel compensators. But with that particular Colt Automatic you likely need it to decrease the risk of shooting yourself in the face.

I saw the real one in action before youtube pulled the video.It hardly had any muzzle climb at all.
 

Lessons at Little Bohemia

Seventy-five years ago, a shoot-out with John Dillinger and "Baby Face" Nelson in the woods of Wisconsin went horribly wrong. More at: http://www.fbi.gov/multimedia/bohemia...

A lot of robbers come from WI. There were two nabbed less than mile away from one of my fishing holes (while I was fishing) after a shoot out in which an officer was killed. Dillinger killed, but he was considered a hero in his day, taking from the very same banks that precipitated The Great Depression. The two morons in the story below robbed banks while the economy was still swinging wild. They got away twice, but third times the charm.:icon_thumleft:

Too bad a LEO lost his life stopping them. Hopefully the old man is dead by now, his son will probably die in prison.:dontknow:

Ever notice how the number of bank robberies each year seems to correlate with the rise and fall of the economy? This should be a good year for bank tellers and police with the DOW hitting $25,000+.

Father, son charged in shootouts | News | journaltimes.com

Channel WISN 12 aired that shootout on the evening news. Pretty crappy thing to do to Lutz's wife.
 

Little Bohemia today.And yes Dillinger and Nelson supposedly buried money here before escaping.
