Trivia Quiz: Great American Firearms
Match up the descriptions (below) with the firearms BELOW THIS LIST.
Good luck! 1. This Confederate sidearm incorporated a 16 gauge "shotgun" barrel in addition to a 9-shot revolving cylinder. 2. At Saratoga during the American Revolution, rifleman Tim Murphy gently squeezed the trigger, and 300 yards away British General Simon Fraser tumbled from the saddle. 3. This infamous firearm caused the demise of one of America's greatest Presidents. 4. Using one of these at Adobe Walls, Texas in 1874, hunter Billy Dixon dropped a mounted Comanche warrior at a distance estimated by witnesses as "about a mile". Army surveyors later measured the distance to be 1,538 yards. 5. Each of General Custer's 7th Cavalry troopers carried one of these. 6. Gen. George Patton called it "the greatest battle implement ever devised". 7. This was a preferred weapon of bank-robbing duo Bonnie and Clyde in the early 1930s 8. During prohibition this weapon earned the nickname "Chicago Typewriter". 9 Eugene Stoner designed this weapons system which was first purchased by the U.S. Air Force. 10. Medal of Honor winner Sgt Alvin York was issued one of these before departing for France in World War One. 11 This American shoulder arm was designed by ex-convict and bootlegger David M. Williams. 12 Only 1100 of these were originally made. At 4 1/2 pounds, this huge revolver was carried in holsters suspended from the saddle pommel instead of a hip holster.

Tina,
I'm pretty sure everyone lives up to the "honor system" when they take my quizzes. Now, if I were a teacher, and Keith and bOOger were in my class, I would have to be vigilant and make sure no one was peeking or passing notes or up to some other monkey business!
