Yep. I saw that episode. The "expert" said that the cut down rifle and taped grip would intimidate victims. It would show that the guy with the gun was a professional that meant business.

Yeah, right.

Bonnie and Clyde, whose guns of choice were 1911s and BARs, are gonna use a hacked-up single shot.

The museum guy said it was donated to the museum by a cop who confiscated it from them. That sounded to me like Jesse James' guns, that his mama sold to tourists, Bat Masterson's guns that he tamed Dodge with, that he sold regularly for drinking money in New York, and all the guns that came home from WW2, "captured from a Nazi officer".
