During the time of the criminal couple, Frank Hamer realized they had to upgrade their old-school revolvers and shotguns as Bonnie & Clyde were using automatic rifles. Ha er had retired in 1932 after 27 years with the Rangers but came back into service to get a job done no one else could do.

More on Frank Hamer:
Francis Augustus Hamer (March 17, 1884 – July 10, 1955) was an American law enforcement officer and Texas Ranger who led the 1934 posse that tracked down and killed criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Renowned for his toughness, marksmanship, and investigative skill, he acquired status in the Southwest as the archetypal Texas Ranger.
Hamer also led the fight in Texas against the Ku Klux Klan, starting in 1922, as senior captain of the Texas Rangers, and he is believed to have saved at least 15 people from lynch mobs. He was inducted into the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame. His professional record and reputation are controversial, particularly with regard to his willingness to use deadly force even in an increasingly modernized society.
Hamer has been described by biographer John Boessenecker as "one of the greatest American lawmen of the twentieth century". (Wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Hamer )
