The crew at Demolition Ranch had a dead tree on their hands so of course decided to solve the problem through the proper application of a man-sized portion of binary shot indicator compounds.

Now of course, it took about $400 worth of exploding targets from USA Chemical Supply and the gang kept the risk of catching baseball bat-sized splinters to a minimum by setting it off from long range with a .50 caliber Barrett, but that didn’t stop the neighbors from making some calls.

Still, you have to admit that the crater was most impressive.

On Sept. 25, 1925, Chicago bootlegger Frank McErlane used a Thompson sub-machine gun in his attempt to assassinate a competitor. The Chicago Tribune dubbed his gang “The Machine Gun Gang.”

By 1934, “Tommy gun” violence between gangs had grown to such a degree that Congress passed the National Firearms Act to impose criminal, regulatory and tax requirements on weapons favored by gangsters: machine guns, silencers and sawed-off shotguns.
