KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two guns thought to have been used by bank-robbing fugitives Bonnie and Clyde have snatched $210,000 at an auction in Kansas City, Mo.
The Joplin Globe () reported an online bidder from the East Coast on Saturday bought the weapons believed to have been seized from the outlaw couple's Joplin hideout in 1933. http://bit.ly/A9BRHg Sold were a .45-caliber, fully automatic Thompson submachine gun – better known as a Tommy gun – and a 1897 Winchester 12-gauge shotgun. Mayo Auction, of Kansas City, was not given permission to release the name of the buyer. Two law enforcement officers died during a shootout at the Joplin apartment where the couple and members of their gang were holed up, but all the members of the Clyde Barrow gang escaped.

Love the old 1927 Thompson (technically they were made from 1921 to the present, but the 1927A1 semi-auto only was the only one available here)...heavy as buggery, especially with the 75 or 100 round drum magazine. You actually used to be able to buy them in Oz (in semi-auto form of course) for around the $2000 mark and I greatly enjoyed firing one at the range back then...before the rediculous gun laws and gun "steal back" by the government in the late 1990's......
