Awesome realism

One of the things about the movie The Highwaymen I liked best was seeing the variety of weapons in the "armory" of agents Frank Hamer and Manny Gault as they began their pursuit of Bonnie and Clyde. Here's an interesting article on the subject at Ballistic Magazine underscoring the accuracy of the movie in this regard. The article very helpfully includes an embedded video which portrays "the most epic gun purchase of all-time". I've taken the liberty of embedding it here, too.



Update

I didn't have any familiarity with the Colt Monitor, so I looked it up on YouTube. Here's Ian McCollum at Forgotten Weapons, who will tell you all about it.
