906 Words4 Pages

Searching for Al Capone is the main topic of The Untouchables, but Al is not all that Eliot is looking for. Eliot has continued taking down breweries with the help of his crew and the public.

Chris has mentioned the American long rifle, the spencer repeater, and the colt single-action army revolver. I think the most crucial out of those three is the spencer repeater. It was a big factor in the Civil War because it sped up the process of the war. It was much more modern than all the other guns at that time because of how many bullets it carried and because of how fast it reloaded. You can tell that Chris has put a lot of time and effort into his search for America’s top ten guns, and I would agree with the guns he has put in his top ten list so
