Airfix Reveal Secret Weapon.
Permalink   

This is from Airfix's site, describing the WWI American Infantry:

These are the Doughboys that arrived in France and took part in the last great battles of the First World War. Their equipment includes light machine guns and a remote-controlled rifle.

A remote-controlled rifle? Which one would that be, then?

Maybe one where you pull the trigger and the bullet goes far, far away?

Or an officer giving an order to fire, thereby controlling the rifle remotely?

Hi, I suspect its one of those items from the famous ACME catalogue company, there's a guy sitting on and carefully guarding a box in the set......
