While I was familiar with the colloquiual phrase
("Culture...revolver") I had to Google translate the first time, then
do some research on what a Browning was, and trace it back to that
original quote in the Johst play before I recognized it.  In other
words, we were already way beyond my knowledge of German.  But from
what I understand (again, with some help from google-translate), this
would be a better.  My advice, though, would be that, if you hear it
from someone in person, don't bother with the bag: just aim carefully.
