Hey gBB. Haven't posted in a while.

During the particularly violent times of a crime family, who were the members who take on the bulk role of killing?

I read a story about an Anastasia member who was in charge of one of Anastasia's dice games. He was tasked with beating up a sanitation worker twice and eventual it went to trial. If not for little court snippets you never would have heard of these guys. I was said that Anastasia had an army of killers, and he sure used them. Who were these guys? How loyal were they to one particular boss?

You can mention the Banana war, the Bonanno infighting in the 70s, the Colombo war, anything. Guys who did the majority of the "work" as opposed to earning, which is what we usually talk about.
