actually, there was a time and place where the thutty thutty was THE official gummint catridge! It was near here during WW1,soldiers assigned to guard the Spruce Railroad were armed with M94's, spruce being a war material necessary for aircraft. American Rifleman ran a story a while back about it, sorry, I no longer have that edition. Kinda remember the soldiers were from 91st Division, aka, The Pine Tree Division. There's a spot on the local forest maps marked as the "Slab Camp Guard Station' that I think dates from that time too. The Spruce Railroad is now a hiking/biking/equestrian trail in most places.
