I got 29 out of 30. Missed number 23 about Samuel Colt. I work for a company with three founders, one of which is Peter Colt. (yes, relation) Don't think I'll mention my mistake next time I see him in the office. Doh!

I scored 29 out of 30. I can't remember which one I missed, but it was something obscure.

Edit: It was question 19. The only weapon I could remember from Columbine was the Hi-Point.

I scored 26 out of 30. Quite disappointing.

Indeed some of the questions were obscure.

Fun quiz to take. Thanks for posting Tex Dot Com!

I got 29/30. I missed the last question.

25 out of 30 here, without using Google.... Missed one of them because I didn't thoroughly read the question. I agree some were very obscure, but fun excercise!

Thanks for posting!

26/30, I don't feel too bad cause the ones I missed were related to current events not necessarily history.

27 out of 30.
Never heard of a nuclear rifle!

27 out of 30. Never heard of a nuclear rifle!

Me neither! I demand a recount! It's not a rifle you hold up to your shoulder. It's similar to a 106mm recoiless rifle! It weighs 76 lbs.

BTW, that's one of the one's I missed.

Damn I'm really a rookie only 23 of 30.

26. I have never heard of those assassination attempts. I felt I was guessing on several.

The good news is that it was never used.

With a range of only 2.5 miles, if you fired it you were almost guaranteed to be irradiated yourself.

29/30 I missed the Davy Crockett question.
