Few eras in American history capture the imagination as well as the Prohibition Era. The gangsters, the speakeasies, the jazz, the bootleggers, and the bank robbers are all part of an period nearly defined by its criminal element.
The guns on the table today are from two such notable criminals. The first belonged to the violent and swaggering Ford Bradshaw, and the other from Public Enemy No. 1 and trusted member of Bonnie & Clyde's "Barrow Gang," Floyd Hamilton.

An abbreviated butt stock can still be tucked under the arm and better aimed and controlled. The old time bad boys figured out what worked as opposed to the modern bangers that spend more time missing their adversaries.

There's also an action tube in the Auto-5, that extends down into the stock - there's a limit on how far you can cut it down!

My favorite lies are when some one pulls out some old gun and tells you Bonnie and Clyde's pistol or shot gun. Lol. I love 1990s romi AK all carved up in trench art.

I wonder why Bradshaw left the 6-inch stock on the shogun and not just made it a true pistol grip.

There’s a recoil spring inside the stock of the Browning Auto 5, that’s as short as you can go without either exposing or damaging it.

I remember reading somewhere that the same Auto 5 that Bonnie andClyde sawed off in the same way they could use it to shoot out of the car window by by tucking the small part of the sawed shoulder stock against the shoulder and still drive the car with the other hand

The macabre interest in these Psychopaths and their related material culture is beyond me... The attention to Bonnie/Clyde, Dillinger, and those Mafia murderers is senseless and promoting their heinous deeds is another form of Mental Disorders.....

There's something about this that triggered you, but at least you admit you don't know what it is that it's beyond your comprehension. I don't think anybody would look at this as glorifying outlaws. The outlaws were not necessarily psychotic and went on killing sprees because they were psycho and killing people just for the fun of it. they were out robbing, stealing, fighting over turf where they could engage in illegal business, and happen to end up killing people in the commission of their crimes. They were all motivated by money at least in the beginning then they may have had a vendetta. But their crime was not to just go murder people. That would be psychotic. They were money motivated and maybe not mentally astute but they did have an objective other than murder. Do you think people have a mental deficiency for collecting war memorabilia for creating museums reenacting wars to tell the story? I don't know you, maybe somebody told you morbid curiosity meant you were crazy it doesn't most people have a bit of morbid curiosity, That don't mean they want to die or they want to kill just means they want to go to the funeral museum or the mummy display. The only thing I meant by your triggered was this video seemed to bother you or hit a nerve somehow. And the guns are for auction no one said that those guns were used to kill anybody. They obviously weren't if people got out of prison. Don't watch videos that are going to upset you, you will have a lot less stress. Good luck and good day sir.

I completely understand how people would idolize Bonnie and Clyde and John Dillinger especially during the depression. Even today these guns are historical artifacts and deserve to be honored and coveted by people who can afford to bid at the auctions for overpriced weaponry. But the weaponry is cool I'm jealous of whoever gets to own it.

@@BillyJ244 It would be nice if whoever owned it would let some Museum put it on display. As a young kid in the 80s I saw either the real car that they were killed in or a reproduction/clone if that was the case it was a car that came off the Ford line at the same place and year of Bonnie and Clyde's car it was a absolute real car. The only reason that I think it might not be the original one is because I was about 7 years old when I saw it that was over 40 years ago it's kind of hard for me to remember the fact that it sticks out in my head so vividly kind of makes me think it was a real thing. I don't think seeing a car with that many bullet holes going through it that size (they were big) was glorifying any outlaw I agree with you Billy J I hope somebody don't put these in their closet or they're safe or wherever just leave it there. I thought there was like a hundred year old rule or something if gun was over a hundred years old it didn't qualify as an NFA.
