I know the BAR shot sucks, its from normal Youtube, I couldn't grab the same shot on the HD video version. I'll see if I can attempt it on my sister's computer so I'll have a better HD image. Then I'll put them on the IMFDB page.

I got two good shots of the BAR now with my sister's computer and a better shot of the machine pistol.

Heck yes they are site worthy IMHO.

That one minute clip was great. Thank you for posting it!

Not he said mostly at targets, lol. And thank god we have someone famous that isn't a complete leftist whackjob.

Well now I have to add him to my list of favorite actors.

And for those who haven't seen Public Enemies yet, it is excellent. Most of the shootouts are a little short but appear frequently enough to be satisfying.

The full, uncut Little Bohemia shootout was intense, definately the " 'Heat' bank shootout" of this film.

Sadly, Nelson is the only one who is seen using the .38 Super pistol, and not very often. I saw only 1 shot other than the one I already had on the page that was good enough to see the weapon.

Oh, and this film is a gun-lovers dream. Nice and loud gunfire (although a little inconcistant at times), pretty good gun handling, great close ups, and some interesting dialogue, one where Purvis mentions to his G-men that they are issued "Thompson submachine guns, BARs, and Winchester .351 semi-automatic rifles." He's talking about Winchester 1907s BTW.

I won't spoil anything new for you (although most people know Dillinger died in 1934, so big surprise. ). Spoiling the movie by saying Dillinger dies is like spoiling King Kong (1933), a 76 year old movie, by telling you King Kong dies in the end. People already know. . Trust me on one thing, there is plenty of unspoiled material left to enjoy this work of art film.

I highly recommend it, it was great.

Was the Remington Model 11 autoloading shotgun used in the movie? I thought I saw it in the trailer but It's not listed on the "Public Enemies" page.

Yeah, Homer Van Meter carries a sawed-off Model 11 at a few points in the movie, which you can see in the famous Dillinger gang weapons display. The sawed off BARs they carried, were, interestingly, real, but it was carried by Clyde Barrow, not Dillinger.

Some of them were used by FBI agents too, but they could have been Browning A5s.
