Bloody Mama is a 1970 gangster film directed by Roger Corman that was very loosely based on the true story of Ma Barker and her sons. The film's success as well as the success of similarly-themes such as Bonnie and Clyde would inspire Corman to produce several more gangster films over the following decade including Boxcar Bertha, Big Bad Mama and Capone.



The following weapons were used in the film Bloody Mama:
