In Favorite Guns of History’s Bad Guys – Part Two, we dive into the firearms wielded by two of the most notorious figures in history. First, we take a closer look at Osama Bin Laden and his weapon of choice—the AKS-74U, a compact version of the AK-47, often called the “Krink.“ Captured from Soviet forces during the Afghan War, this rifle became a symbol of resistance and power. Though Bin Laden was frequently photographed with the weapon, he was more of a strategist, preferring to lead from the shadows rather than fire the gun himself. Next, we examine the infamous Tommy Gun—the weapon of choice for gangsters like Al Capone and John Dillinger during the Prohibition era. With its incredible fire rate of up to eight hundred fifty rounds per minute, the Tommy Gun became a symbol of the violent underworld of the 1920s. Its most infamous use? The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, a brutal event that forever linked this firearm to the era’s crime syndicates. Want more stories of history’s most notorious criminals and their weapons?
