The machine gun euphamistically referred to as a "Peter the Painter" by old time Irish republicans was the kind of machine gun which had a round drum shaped magazine mounted face on towards the end of the barrel. From memory it was a favourite weapon of the Mafia during the twenties & thirties I seem to recall that in the film Home Alone the young hero used an excert from an older film wherein an older guy guns down another guy and he makes some referance to Happy Honika or some such greeting. Well the gun he used was a Peter the Painter, can anybody identify that weapon?
