Each DPD Scout Car had a gun box in the trunk that included a 12 ga shotgun and one of those M1 carbines. Sunday morning, at the precincts, was carbine clean and inspect time. Never saw one of those ‘97 shotguns on the street, but fired them in the Academy. Hold the trigger down and it would fire as fast as it was pumped. Awesome firepower, but not the safest of weapons.
