I believe that Bonnie and Clyde were slain by Frank Hamer, using a Model 8 Remington, in .35 Rem., with an extended magazine. Didn't the others in the posse have BARS also?
I think that Clyde used to pack a Colt Monitor... the commercial variant of the BAR.

The .401 Winchester Model 1910 was popular as were the 1905's in .35 and even more so, the 1907's in .351.

Bonny's "Whippet" was a Remington 11 in 20 Gauge.

Hamer's Model 8 may have had a removable magazine by Police Officer's Supply in St. Joseph, Mo.
