sweet!!!!!!

Reminds me a lot of some nights in Vietnam back in '68

They have it in the spring also, went to it 8-9 years ago it was very cool. I was never in the military so that was my first time seeing that kind of stuff in person.

That Is TOO COOL!!!!! That has to be unbelievable in person.

Got a squirrel problem, we can help.

machine gun shoots are awesome!

Any Idea How Many Rounds Went Down-Range That Night?

Ill let you do the math, a M60 shoots 550-600 rounds per minute.
The .50 cal shoots 1150-1250 rounds per minute.

and now you know what its called a wall of lead.

Those guys bring the ammo in by the pallet. I couldn't imagine what it would cost for a whole weekend

A few springs ago I watched them shoot off a m134 mini at knob creek. When they do a live range it only last for 10-15 minutes. When they ceased firing that one gun by itself had emptyed two belt cans. If I had to guess that one mini fired off close to 10000 rounds by itself, not to count the other 30 mounted mg's spread out across the line and pkms, 60's, 249's, ak's and auto glocks. Its crazy how much people pay to fire off them browning .50's, My bil asked how much to shoot one and if I recall right it was 100 per 20 rounds. Heres a few picks from the springs show, My BIL is in the first picture. It cost 50 bucks for one mag of 7.62x39 and boy did it go quick. Or if your loaded you could just buy your own full-auto.
