It was a nasty-looking pistol
Lancaster New Era
TO THE EDITORS:
I am referring to staff writer Larry Alexander's, "Have you seen this submachine gun?" article. The headline leads you to believe someone is running around with a fully automatic, pull-the-trigger-once-and-fire-20-bullets machine gun.
Halfway through, you learn from the Manheim Township police that it is "not fully automatic."
That means it is not a "submachine gun." It is, however, a nasty-looking pistol.
If you're going to scare people, at least get the facts straight.

(Editors' note: The Manheim Township Police Department press release reads as follows: "The firearm that was stolen was a Cobray SWD M-11 9mm Sub-Machine Gun.")
