Foreign Legion Twin Machine Gun

The Foreign Legion Twin Machine Gun is an electro-mechanical (EM) warfare-themed shooting game - not a flipper pinball - manufactured by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company and unveiled at the November 1974 Music Operators of America (MOA) exposition in Chicago. Notably, its production run was reportedly already winding down by the end of that same month, suggesting the game had only a brief run.

Designed for head-to-head competition, players compete against the clock and each other. The game's mirrored interior sidewalls create a sense of depth in the shooting gallery, and blacklighting adds atmospheric effect. Interestingly, while Chicago Coin referred to the game in the plural - "Twin Machine Guns" - the backglass displays only the singular "Gun."

Little is documented about the machine's designer, but its brief production window and distinctive mirrored-gallery presentation make the Foreign Legion Twin Machine Gun a notable, if obscure, piece of Chicago Coin's mid-1970s warfare-themed shooting game lineup.
