LOOSELY BASED ON THE
WWII STINGER, BUT ASSEMBLED ON A BROWNING M1919 INSTEAD
OF A DAUNTLESS BOMBER'S TAIL GUN.
TONY
STEIN WIELDED A SIMILAR GUN IN A HEROIC DISPLAY OF AMERICAN
INGENUITY, DRIVE, AND SHEER GUTS.
FEBRUARY 19, 1945 VOLCANO ISLAND, IWO
JIMA
WITH HIS TEAM PINNED DOWN, TONY STEIN
ABRUPTLY STOOD UP AND TOOK STOCK OF THE ENEMY POSITIONS
CONTINUING TO FIRE AT HIS PLATOON, DRAWING THEIR FIRE AWAY
FROM THEM, DISREGARDING HIS OWN SAFETY TO DO SO. HE
QUICKLY MADE NOTE OF THE POSITION OF EACH PILLBOX AND ENEMY,
AND FORMED A VICIOUS, DESPERATE BATTLE PLAN: KILL EVERY
LAST ONE OF THEM, AND HE WOULD DO IT HIMSELF IF HE HAD
TO.
STORMING THE MEMORIZED ENEMY POSITIONS,
HE CALMLY DISPATCHED THEM. USING THE EXTRMEME FIRING RATE OF A
MACHINEGUN MEANT TO STICK OUT OF AN AIRCRAFT FOR PROTECTION
FROM FIGHTERS, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP MR. STEIN'S
RELENTLESS ASSAULT ON THOSE WHO HAD KILLED MANY OF HIS
COMRADES.
WITH A HUMAN RAGE UNMATCHED IN
BATTLE BEFORE OR SINCE, CORPORAL STEIN LITERALLY SHREDDED HIS
ENEMIES WHERE THEY STOOD AS THEY LOOKED UP OUT OF THEIR
POSTS ON THE LINE. NEVER BEFORE HAD SUCH A WEAPON BEEN TAKEN
TO THE BATTLEFIELD IN A SOLDIER'S TWO HANDS. THERE WAS
NO TIME TO PONDER WHAT SORT OF IMPLEMENT OF WAR COULD GIVE ONE
MAN SUCH CONFIDENCE- THESE MEN DIED WITHOUT KNOWING HOW THEY DIED.
WHEN
THE WEAPON INEVITABLY OVERHEATED, STEIN WOULD DROP THE WEAPON,
AND PICK UP A WOUNDED SOLDIER TO CARRY TO SAFETY. SCOOPING UP
MORE AMMO, HE SET BACK ACROSS NO MAN'S LAND TO RETRIEVE HIS
IMPROVISED WEAPON.TONY THREW OFF HIS COMBAT BOOTS AND
BATTLE HELMET SO HE COULD RUN FASTER OVER THE ROCKY TERRAIN,
TAKING OUT GROUPS OF ENEMY SOLDERS WITH SHEER FORCE AS HE RAN.
