Adventure! Tonight we present The Gun by Anthony Robbins. The Gun was an M16A1 rifle manufactured in the United States in 1967.

Point to two caliber gas operated magazine fed capable of semi-automatic and fully automatic fire. It was a meter in length and weighed just under three kilograms. It was shipped out to Vietnam early in 1968 and before returning four years later it had killed 23 North Vietnamese soldiers, 11 Viet Conga-Rillers, two peasant farmers, three women,

and a six-month-old baby. In 1973, the gun was stolen, and over the next seven years, it added a petrol pump attendant, a liquor store owner, and two New York policemen to its list of victims. In 1981, it resurfaced in Northern Ireland. Then came the wealthy businessman, the UDA man, and an IRA informant. When its owner died of a heart attack a year

later, his wife sold it to a relative to pay for the funeral. The relative, Ron Finnegan, occasionally dabbled on the black market, operating from a sweet shop in Manchester. For three years the gun gathered dust on his storeroom shelf. It lay muzzle up between a case of chocolate bars and a case of Russian-made hand grenades. That was until Ron received a check in the

post for £250. It was accompanied by a note with the words, payment as agreed. And below that a name and address, John Green, U-Tree House near Fortingham Debum. The name was false, but the address was genuine enough.
