Buddy of mine has a Tommy Gun. That thing is heavy. It's made from billet steel. You have the round 50 round drum?

The German gun. Is that full auto?

Default B17 Bomber

I put this in firearm section.Browning 50s to protect the fortress.You had to complete 25 combat missions to get out.Which was almost immpossible.One in 4 crews would make 12 to 14 missions before killed or shot down.Less than 1% made the 25 missions.My father was a Bombardier in WW2.Never talked about war until very late in life.I did get to go through a B17 with him before he died.Telling me stories of hanging in open bomb bay doors kicking bombs loose.This is later on.My brother and I flew on B17.I got to ride in the glass nose in front where my father would have sat.One of the pics is of my Dads Bombardier wings.My Grandson is in service now.Too all who serviced in past or currently serving.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

The Thompson is .45ACP
It is not like the movies where it fires over your head or they turn it sideways.
Weight is about 11pounds.
You need to hold a little weight on the front.It moves around in a small circular manor.Quite acurate.

My dad was an AN (aviation nose picker as he called it) during Korea. He served on the USS Philippine Sea and the USS Enterprise. He never talks about it much, I suppose it's because he served on a carrier fixing shot up airplanes. I sometimes wonder just what he saw....

Was it CVN-65? Actually it would have been CVA-65 back then. I served on the Big E (CVN-65) too. It is crazy how long she was around. It was possible for 3 generations of a family to have served on her.

It was sad seeing her start to be decommissioned but, it was time.
Can't wait to see the next Enterprise, CNV-80, be built.
