Okay fellow gun nuts and enthusuiasts, I seek knowledge.
Remember the movie "Dogs of War" with Christopher Walken?
Remember the cool rotary grenade/shotgun thingie he used in the movie?
A couple of years after I saw the movie, in a history class in high school we were looking at slides from a show about the Depression Era, and I saw a photo of a guy with a real one.
Then, a little while after that at a gun show, I saw a nice chrome-plated one for real. In a velvet-lined case. Mint. Many, many, many dollars.
For some reason the name "Madson" is stuck in my head as the name of it. Not Madsen like the MGs, but Madson. Regardless, I can't find any references to the thing on the net, except a site for Dlask Arms that says he made the thing up for the Dogs of War movie.
But I saw the pic.
And I saw the thing in the case.
So I know it's real.
Anybody have any ideas?
