BAR Trivia.
In the 30's Gangsters often used BAR's along with Thompsons and whatever.
The reason they liked the BAR was for its penetration when shooting at vehicles.
The .45 Thompson would often not penetrate the gauge/quality steel in the Model A Fords etc. unless it was a no deflection shot....the BAR would go through both sides.
