He likes them because he operated one in the first World War as a member of the 87th Aviation Signal Marine Corps. He makes phonies, copying from the real machine guns. These work just as well for pictures as the real thing, because Constable has put motors in some and gas fixtures in others so that they make a racket and shoot flame out the muzzle in true Hollywood style.
