Bonnie & Clyde Ambush: Frank Hamer's Rifle

Did Frank Hamer use a special Remington Model 8 with extended magazine at the ambush of Bonnie & Clyde? Evidence suggests an almost certain, “NO“. Who carried what? The earliest evidence we've come across is a personal account by Sheriff Jordan, “Deputy Hinton was armed with a Browning automatic rifle. Deputy Alcorn, Captain Hamer and Patrolman Gault were armed with automatic shotguns loaded with buckshot. Deputy Oakley and I were carrying Remington automatic rifles and there was a third rifle of that type available for use“ - True Detective Magazine, Nov. 1934 For further reading on this topic please visit the page below, For all things Remington Model 8 & 81 come join us at THE OTHER SIDE OF BONNIE & CLYDE (1968) courtesy of Something Weird Video
