Beat me to it. I was first thinking about the Bonnie and Clyde stories how tough the steel was in those old cars. How weak the pistols were and how cars were decent cover back then.
Then came the Browning Automatic Rifles.... I heard that was used in the ambush that killed Bonnie and Clyde.
Like the Tommy guns Browning Automatic Rifles (Colt made) were perfectly legal to buy back in the 1920s before the National Firearms act of 1934 put a stop to that..
The revolver is just there to finish ruining the rifleman's hearing. The BAR will punch through cover, and the Tommy will keep flankers pinned down. I wonder how much that engine block will absorb?
I like the guy with the BAR. Yikes!

Buddy with the pistol isn't really carrying his weight in this gunfight is he.

Clyde was reputed to carry a sawed-off BAR. More convenient for concealment and close-quarters in a bank.
