Came across 1954 classic “Them” on TCM. Apparently standard issue for New Mexico State police back then included sub-machine guns. Hollywood hype? Or just ahead of their time?
I mean, you meet a freakish giant ant in the desert. Pistol fire doesn’t phase it. So the state trooper runs back to the patrol car for extra firepower. Smart move. I’m expecting a shotgun, maybe a rifle. But dude comes back with a sub-machine gun. WHY is that in the trunk?
Fer snakes & such?
Entire prairie dog towns?
I mean, it’s the middle of the New Mexico desert in 1954. Ain’t a lot out there to be needing a sub-machine gun for.
Except giant ants, of course.
