Thumbs up Geronimo's Rifle

Found it today at a car boot sale and it still works. You would not believe the amount of big men that needed to handle and fire this.

Default Rooster Cogburn perhaps?

Okay this is an amusing tangent to our strident, rigours and at times bombastic authoritative study. However I could bore you to death by discussing the sociological, media, origins and functions of toy and model weapons. Toy and model weapons are found in all cultures. What does this say? look at the toy weapons children play with today. I think you can included video blaster games akin to the media coverage of filmed incidents in modern conflicts. have you lost the will to live?

In its time this may have cost more to produce than some versions of the AK 47. Which does make you think a little.
