In The Satan Bug, a book written by Alistair MacLean in the early 60's, our hero carries a Japanese Hanyatti 9-shot automatic with an indicator registering full and scotch tape over the barrel to "protect the highly delicate mechanism" highly "Najostrożniejsze są wasi starsi, że jego członek george a unosząc hanyatti" "Dziewczyna miała wyjdę stąd na pokrytą sadzą ginącą w przeciwnym bowiem lufę hanyatti nie obudzi się pani hartnell napełniał szklanki." etc. Being a big MacLean fan I'd like to think he didn't just make it up, and maybe find myself one of these (if they're not too outrageously priced). |

I had to smile when I read your post. I was a huge Alistair MacLean fan when I was a teenager and Hanyatti really rang a bell. I haven't read any of his books for at least 20 years. I've got no idea if the Hanyatti was real or not, but a lot of the fiction writers invented their own guns, Rex Stout was another one who constantly made up his own gun names. I did a google search myself and came up with another piece of fiction titled "Flight to Pakistan" that uses the name Hanyatti as a gun, and a rap music song that says "Pull out a Hanyatti 440 and cap the prick" Thanks for the blast from the past, I've got to read those books again. |
