Last time I looked, the 50s were bolt action. Not likely to mow
down.

My mistake -- the newspaper only describes it as an "anti-aircraft gun".

If I were _behind_ an "anti-aircraft gun" I hope that it would "mow" --
but then I don't think any WWII anti-aircraft anything could fit into
your average living room so chances are the reporter knew slightly less
than I do about guns.
