The FBI\u2019s Norfolk office is straight up gangsta\u2019 and they\u2019ve got the hardware to prove it.<\/p>\n<p>For the last 75 years the Norfolk branch has retained three very interesting relics of the past: Tommy guns. The nostalgic firearms are normally tucked away in the building\u2019s massive gun vault, but every once in a while the \u201cChicago typewriters\u201d are shown off at local gun ranges, repots<a href=\"https:\/\/hamptonroads.com\/2015\/05\/75-years-later-norfolks-fbi-office-still-has-three-working-tommy-guns\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fbis-norfolk-office-still-rocking-75-year-old-tommy-guns\" title=\"FBI\u2019s Norfolk Office Still Rocking 75-Year-Old Tommy Guns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> HamptonRoads.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery agent wants to see them,\u201d said Agent Mike McMahon. \u201cBut very few have ever shot one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But McMahon recently brought two of the three Tommy guns to the Chesapeake Police Department\u2019s firing range, giving local FBI agents an opportunity of a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>McMahon says the bureau has updated their firearms throughout the years, from the Tommy gun to the MP-5, and now to the AR-15. But the gangster gun of old still reigns supreme when it comes to the cool factor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt starts with a \u2018C\u2019 and ends with an \u2018L.\u2019 It\u2019s cool,\u201d said McMahon. \u201cA gun from the days of Pretty Boy Floyd? Are you kiddin\u2019 me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the FBI retired most of their Tommy guns in the 1970\u2019s. They were swapped out with the more potent MP-5, but the bureau quickly realized that the $2,500 submachine guns were expensive to repair, and later updated again to the AR-15, which costs only $1,000 and is able to penetrate through body armor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWould you like to try it?\u201d McMahon offered to one of the police officers at the range.<\/p>\n<p>The answer was an immediate affirmative, and moments later a burst of fully automatic gunfire sang through the air.<\/p>\n<p>So why did McMahon dust off the outdated Tommy guns and bring them out the firing range?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re doing it today because we can,\u201d said McMahon. \u201cAnd because it\u2019s fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(<em>This article was submitted by freelance writer Brent Rogers<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rat-a-tat-tat you dirty rat.
