Movie Gun of the Week! (read more)
AMT Hardballer is a series of pistols that are part of the 1911 platform (based off of the .45 ACP M1911) made by Arcadia Machine & Tool (AMT) from 1977 to 2002. The Hardballer was the first entirely stainless steel 1911 pattern pistol. Other features included adjustable rear sights and a lengthened grip safety.
The weapon proved to be of little interest because of unreliable manufacturing and steel galling issues. The name Hardballer was because it was designed to fire .45acp 230 gr. ball ammo. It performed unreliably with hollow point ammunition of that era and would only use FMJ or hardball ammunition with any reliability, although with "throating", it will allow the use of semi-wadcutters. The Hardballer, if properly maintained, can be fashioned into quite an intriguing weapon.
A principal advantage of this weapon is that almost every part is a drop-in interchange with any other M1911; as a result, a Hardballer owner is assured of a wide variety of repair parts and custom parts.
However, the Hardballer is most recognizable from the 1984 Terminator movie poster where you can see the Hardballer with a laser sight from the movie. The Terminator acquired a number of firearms, including the AMT Hardballer .45 longslide variant equipped with a laser sight, while robbing a pawnshop clerk. The Terminator then used this pistol to kill the wrong Sarah Connor, a second woman with a very similar name and later the real Sarah's roommate Ginger. It can also be seen in the Hitman Videogame Series as Agent 47's "Silver Baller"

The Springfield Model 1873 was the Army’s standard issue rifle during the Indian Wars of the 1870s and 1880s. The rifle also saw service in the Spanish-American War and the Philippine Insurrection.
The disaster at Little Big Horn on 25 June 1876 led many within the Army to criticize the M1873’s performance. During the Little Big Horn campaign, Lieutenant Colonel George A. Custer ordered an attack that would go down in American military history as the greatest blunder of the Plains Wars. With Major Marcus A. Reno’s column repulsed by the Sioux, the Indians were able to reform and surround Custer’s force. The troopers of the 7th Cavalry fought bravely, but were eventually overwhelmed by the attacking Sioux and Cheyenne’s superior numbers and firepower. No member of Custer’s detachment survived the day. In addition to sparking public outrage against the Indians, Custer’s ill-fated excursion into the Black Hills brought the various flaws of the Springfield Trapdoor to light.
The Army had yet to switch over to brass cartridges and still relied on copper. Firing the rifle created heat that caused the copper cartridges to expand, making the spent cartridge difficult to extract from the breech. One method to remove it was to pry it out with a knife. The M1873 field manual instructed soldiers to push the cartridge out with a cleaning rod, but this presented a problem since the M1873 carbine was not equipped with a cleaning rod. Trooper William C. Slaper of Company M, 7th Cavalry (part of Reno’s column at Little Big Horn), noted that during combat he would fix a jam, pass the loaded rifle to a soldier on the firing line, and then fix another.
