Firearms for Us Peasants!

On that note my brother-in-law had a 10 ton dually truck with a spreader on the back.

He swapped the hydrualic lines around and it was like turbo charging the spreader.

He could spread the entire load in a single pass.  It tripled the throw distance of the manure.

He was happy cause once he found his happy speed for the truck it took him about half as long to manure a field.

You didn't want  to be within 100 yards of that thing when it was throwing or you would get covered..... 

Well they're not for peasants, but I've been reading up on the Thompson submachine guns a lot lately, and have learned much.

Basically there are 5 variations of the original Auto Ordinance Thompson, but Col Thompson only had anything to do with the first 2. He had retired, and the company was taken over by a new investor when WWII started and the next 3 versions came out to fill war needs.

It always has been, and still is an expensive subgun.

Oh, and just to piss off my compooter spell checker, the word submachine gun was coined by Col. Thompson. The Europeans called them machine pistols.

It's not a Colt, but I saw the brochure for it and their other reproductions. I can't remember their name, but they make some cool stuff.

THAT is the Chiappa Model 322!  

I want one!      I had two Marlins in the old days....now older Marlins ( minus the safety ) are more expensive that these new guns from Italy!
