Favorite Guns of History’s Bad Guys – Part 5. #shorts

In Favorite Guns of History’s Bad Guys – Part Five, we dive into the firearms of two infamous figures.

First up is Al Capone, the notorious crime boss of the nineteen twenties. Capone wasn’t just feared for his criminal empire—he also had a favorite firearm: a Colt nineteen eleven. This forty-five caliber semi-automatic pistol, which he affectionately called "Sweetheart," was known for its reliability and power, giving him a critical edge in maintaining control. Here’s something you might not know—Capone’s "Sweetheart" became a collector’s item, eventually being auctioned off for over one million dollars!

Next, we move to Saddam Hussein, known for his strict rule over Iraq. Among his collection of rare firearms was the Glock eighteen, a fully automatic pistol capable of firing twelve hundred rounds per minute. When U.S. forces captured Saddam in two thousand three, this rare Glock was reportedly found among his belongings—a powerful symbol of the authority he once held.

Bad guys I think they where actually the good guys

[Huy-G-Le]

Man, like Somalia and Pakistan society, Iraqi as another primary agriculture country of smaller farmer, meani g everyone is packing, saddam doesn't outlaws guns ownerships, and by the time of the gulf wars, every Iraqi dude owns a Kalash and a pistols, most owns much more.

Al Capone’s handle plates look exactly like this set of deer antler steak knives I own. Right on, Sweetheart.💙🩵

[roombah]

Didn't sadam always carry around a browning hi power copy as well?

[JB-pbxv]

That would probably be one of the most iconic guns to own, to have Al Capones custom 1911 or like a Tommy Gun of his. Or maybe some guns of Pablo Escobar's.

[blackopesghost]

Fun fact. Al’s sweetheart went off to auction from a descendent a few months ago.

[LordOfCheeseBurgers]

How the hell did sadam manage to get one of the top 10 rarest weapons ever lol, Glock 18c wow.

[AlexisArsenal-pobj]

[Sparta]

Saddam was honestly a MF Gangsta to the 9th degree. As an American, I have nothing but respect for him

[eltsennestle]

Capone likely never even fired that 1911.
