According to a story on Frank Hamer in the American Rifleman, September 1911 issue, Hamer used a Remington Model 8 semiautomatic rifle in .30 Remington caliber. It has been frequently stated that Hamer used a specially-modified rifle chambered in .35 Remington caliber which he had made up specifically for the ambush. All evidence indicates this is untrue. While Hamer owned such a rifle, which was modified by the addition of a larger-capacity magazine, he obtained it long after the Bonnie & Clyde ambush. And it was not a Remington Model 8 but rather the later Remington Model 81, which was not manufactured until 1936. Photographs of this rifle and its serial number prove without any doubt that it could not have been used in the ambush, as it did not exist in 1934.

Some believe Hamer may have used a 12 gauge Remington Model 11 shotgun in the ambush, but there is nothing to support this theory. However, three such shotgunws were used by other members of the ambush party.

Did bonnie and Clyde kill people?

Yes. Bonnie and Clyde were shot by a posse of four Texas and two Louisiana officers. The posse was led by former Texas Ranger captain Frank Hamer, who began tracking the pair on 10 February 1934, after being specifically hired by the Texas Department of Corrections with orders to put an end to Bonnie and Clyde.

Why did Bonnie Parker die with Clyde Barrow?

Clyde had been a "marked man" for quite awhile, but it was the prison break he masterminded which led to his ultimate demise. Clyde had stated previously that he would "never be taken alive," and the authorities knew this to be true. Clyde also had a huge arsenal of guns and ammo, so there was no way to get close to him. If he felt the slightest bit threatened, he went into "defense mode" (the brutal prison system he was subjected to was the reason for this). So, the only way to get Clyde was to kill him. He was the target, not Bonnie. But, the posse knew that the only way to kill Clyde was also to kill Bonnie. They had one chance and they took it. --- That's the reason Bonnie died, and no other. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
