    Figured I start a place for useless knowledge.

    Did you know it wad Texas law enforcement that asked Beretta to create the 93R? Straight from the designers mouth.




    Bonus fact:
    The term "quit yanking my chain" comes from miners. They had to piss and shit like everyone else, so they would convert some coal cars into porta potties. Well, the rails are on an incline, so they would put a piece of chain in front of the wheel as a chock. Some sneakey bastard would come up and yank the chain sending the poor soul on a train ride down the shaft on a pile of feces.

    They had Broken Arrow on TV last night. It’s been 20 years since I last saw it, and even then I wasn’t into guns at the time and didn’t know what I was really looking at. I do take notice now, and saw that John Travolta‘ character used one of these in the box car scene at the end of the movie. I couldn’t figure out what it was, other than it looked like a Beretta of some sort. Odd that I see this YouTube video posted the very next morning.
