I still remember the Motorola hand microphones that were used in police cars back in the 60's (and before) and into the 70's as well.  Those were all metal and weighed quite a bit.  They also made good weapons!  I used to work at a communications company that dealt with the police and fire departments.  I remember seeing hair, and other "foreign" materials, stuck in the microphone cases!  That had to leave a mark!!!   Needless to say - the radios attached to those microphones weighed as much as some cars do now!  Police cars were not big and powerful to catch anybody - - - they were big to accommodate the radios and powerful so they could move despite the extra weight!!!
How many of you remember those Motorola HT-200s?  Those had a thick metal back and, once again, they served double duty as a means of "calming" people who thought about "resisting arrest with violence"  Ouch!!!
