I believe the bikes were manufactured by Hodaka.

Here's a description of it's use:<br /><br />EXTERIOR SHOT – THE PLAYGROUND. Nazi dinosaurs are all trying to do that Heil salute, but it is difficult with their stubby little arms. Tom Stranger falls out of the sky and lands, crouched, in the middle of the Nazi dinosaurs. They turn to look at him, surprised. Tom Stranger reaches both hands into his suit coat and comes out with a CCW (CorreiaTech Combat Wombat) pistol in each hand. A Tyrannosaurs with a little Hitler mustache roars, but then Hitlersaurus Rex explodes into a shower of blood and meat chunks as a 3mm hypervelocity round strikes it at over 50,000 feet per second.JD(not the one with the picture)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08404477489642340522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-7815765423409540172011-12-09T18:11:43.866-05:002011-12-09T18:11:43.866-05:00OK, I got lost ... are we or aren't we talking...OK, I got lost ... are we or aren't we talking about Hermann Goering, of suicide with a zipper in Nuremberg fame?Cincinnatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424218376882403880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-70106300155419467082011-12-09T17:53:58.733-05:002011-12-09T17:53:58.733-05:00Whatever's going on here is to over the top fo...Whatever's going on here is to over the top for me...we use sticky trap's for mice around here and .22LR or .410 for tree rat's...Sport Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862280966739841769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-65675272524478674222011-12-09T17:13:23.931-05:002011-12-09T17:13:23.931-05:00Back in the 1920's, Springfield Armory got 6,0...Back in the 1920's, Springfield Armory got 6,000 f.p.s. out of a 30-06 necked down to handle a phonograph needle.

Straight blowback with a 2 pound bolt and 3,350 fps with a 25 grain pill in an 18 inch barrel.
