It was a pretty funny vid, it kinda reminded me of the Kids In The Hall! Why, it's a mighty hard thing to beat the devil's paintbrush. There's a very interesting background story behind Edison paying off Maxim to leave the U.S. to live abroad in Europe, thus eliminating one of his greatest rivals. Whilst Maxim was in Europe he was giving a wager, and that's how the Maxim machine gun came into existence. The first gun you could position an idiot behind, and all you would have in front of it was but death upon the entanglement of Constantine wire. The BAR was really the completion of that first idea, to have a one man fire crew. The French first tried and failed miserably with the Chauchat. Could you imagine walking across Flanders' Field with five or six other Frenchmen, waiting for your left foot to hit the ground before you squeezed a short volley, bearing in mind, whilst you were under enfilade fire, unmasked upon open ground with a gun so crude that it was unable fire. I think the German MG42 had the fastest barrel change out time. You just pop one off and pop a cool one back on, and it was just about that quick. The only problem was, if you maintained a suppressing fire for more than twenty seconds you could warp the barrel. That is why the Germans always used short controlled burst.
I found this in the trash behind the antique shop, the one on the haunted hill...Muhahahaha! I figured on using it for a Halloween porch display. As you can see it is inspired by early Stalag 13. Why, I can almost see Hogan fine-tuning the Air King...well, if the Air King was about three years older he'd be fiddling with it, but nevertheless, very close.
