I agree with Jim that the weapon of choice was the BAR. I was told by a law enforcement officer of that era that it was even Bonnie's weapon of choice.

Bob, the experience I had with our sheriff's department's 28 was just the opposite. The rate of fire seemed terribly slow and the thing was so heavy it didn't climb at all, even on full auto. It wanted to constantly fall below the target. I will agree that it was a lot of fun, but it could get terribly expensive.
