Guns and pistols sufficient to supply a small army, each specimen historically accurate, are owned by a Hollywood firearms collector who supplies the movies with any kind of weapon from an old flintlock gun to a modern sub-machine rifle. About 7,000 pieces are included in the collection of guns, pistols, machine guns, field pieces, swords and bayonets. In the armory are weapons of every period and from all the countries of the world. The epochal periods in American history are represented by corresponding firearms in volume in order to supply the large number of extras appearing in historical productions. These guns graduate from the old smooth-bore of the days of the Pilgrim fathers to the regulation army rifles used in the world war. Machine guns of every make ever used are included and are equipped for mounting in trenches, on carriages or in airplanes. Ammunition for all the pieces is also kept on hand, this including about 300,000 rounds of blank cartridges. There is even a comedy gun for the slapstick picture, a shotgun with an S-shaped stock to enable a man blind in the right eye to sight with his left eye while firing from the right shoulder.
