Финское самозарядное противотанковое ружье Lahti L-39 калибр 20x138mm B (на минуточку E₀ 47.000 Дж !!!) с самодельным, изготовленным из бочки, глушителем -

Орудие преступления. Довольно известное дело -

“They managed to open the garage door and then were able to drive their DeSoto wagon, carrying the Lahti AT rifle and the rest of their burglary tools, directly into the building. The gang had modified the Lahti for their purposes. They created a large canister-like suppressor and attached it the end of the barrel. They also used several mattresses and heavy blankets to help muffle the blast of the 20 mm cannon. Singer’s men had also developed a special mount for the AT rifle to help them blast through the foot-thick cement and steel reinforced vault wall.
Singer’s gang *fired up to 33 armor-piercing rounds* in a circular pattern through the vault wall, creating an approximately 18” x 24” passageway. A tight fit, but large enough for a small gang member to crawl through. Evidence collected by police showed that the burglars brought along nitroglycerin, gas masks, welding equipment, and other heavy duty tools to force their way into the vault. The penetrating power of the Lahti did the trick and the spent 20 mm shell casings were left on the floor.
Singer’s gang gathered up almost $425,000 in cash, coins and checks, and drove away from the crime scene, amazingly unseen and unheard. They left behind several tools though, including a number marked “Made in Canada.” Initially, police developed a multi-state search for the gang, but Canada soon became the primary search area when it was learned that an unsuccessful burglary attempt was made in Quebec earlier in the year, and a Lahti 20 mm AT rifle was found at the scene.”

The Lahti anti-tank rifle linked to the Syracuse robbery. The FBI pulled it from the waters just off the shore of Garden City, Long Island.

The Lahti AT rifle from the Syracuse robbery displayed outside the courtroom of the Onondaga County Courthouse in January 1967.

Если что, вот стрельба -

Вот смотрю я на это и пытаюсь представить, как можно было сделать из этой дуры 33 выстрела в закрытом помещении. Пусть и с глушителем и накрывая всё это дело матрасами и тяжёлыми одеялами...
А история в целом весьма интересная. Очень рекомендую ознакомится. Вот действительно, в жизни иногда всё бывает более сложно, интересно, причудливо и запутано, чем в любом романе.
