In Port Townsend Wa. I stopped there yesterday to check it out. In my opinion, what a waste of time and fuel. No full-size guns. A couple of scaled down models, some projectiles and lots of pictures. The only thing worth while about it was the collection of military rifles (46) including a french Chechault (sp) machine gun and a couple of heavy MG's. The rifles were from about 1871 thru WW2. I did pick up a toy cast bronze mortar for $6. Just something to help clutter up my house some more.

Sometimes the little models are well worth the trip - to have a scaled replica is often much easier to understand how things fits together than an original print!

That's the same little "dictator" our team got as a trophy in the New Ulm, MN shoot. I'm thinking of drilling out the vent hole and shooting jelly beans

Yep, the vent hole does not go all the way thru.
The bore looks deep enough and big enough for jelly beans.
