But Dutch shows no loyalty to Diamond. He first tries to steal Diamond's moll Frances, then he tries to take over his bootlegging enterprise. Diamond retaliates by killing Dutch's friend Joey Noe.

PS. This film was filmed in low definition and had never been restored.
The following weapons were used in the film Hit the Dutchman:
Arthur "Dutch Schultz" Flegenheimer and many other gangsters use M1928A1 Thompson submachine guns. Majority of them are converted for using 7.62x25 blanks in MP40 magazines. The use of the M1928A1 is anachronistic as film is set in 1929, before the development of the M1928A1.
Unknown bolt-action rifle used by Vincent Coll during the assassination attempt on Dutch Schultz. In the movie it is called "Winchester sniper rifle", what is clearly untrue. It appears to be a some Mosin-Nagant carbine.
