Automatic Revolver?
Naw, it was a Colt .380. Reporters back then apparently didn't know squat about firearms, just like now.
There's a story about that gun. It's supposed to be in the FBI museum, but the gun in the museum wasn't manufactured until several months after Dillinger's death. Nobody seems to know what happened to the real one. There's a story that Hoover gave it to Red Skelton, but it has never turned up.
