They were a ball to shoot (a few of us non-LE people had friends that let us shoot them) and it was amazing how much damage a .22 could do at 450 rounds/minute to a solid 8" cinder block - a two inch hole all the way through it in about 15 seconds. Unfortunately, the Sheriff was afraid of publicity so they were never actually used for anything but playing at the range. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE!!!
The American 180? Had a 180 round drum mounted on top. Ya that would be a cool gun to own. If memory serves me correctly they were targeted for prison guard use?
