You brought what? :o
I am sure glad these nice folks are on our side, sheez. Went to the range in the swamps of the Everglades at my local club.
Look what was cooling off before the next round:

Fully operational/Fully AUTOMATIC 1919 Browning Machine Gun in .308. 8)

What a treat to see this baby in action, shredded a six pack of 5lb fire extinguishers, a dozen bowling pins, and 10 1gallon water jugs, in about 15 seconds.
Since deepwater posted some FN FAL porn, he also had one with a REAL suppressor that literally sounded like a .22lr.

Man do I want one bad... ;)
Picked up my raffle winnings, of 1000rds. of 7.62x39 Wolf Military Classic, and let the "boy" who is 15 and getting taller than me :-\
let it rip against some water jugs, and pins.

Handles the recoil very well, we're still working on his stance and legs.
Here he is with my coach's gun, and his "bite me" hat.

He wanted to shoot both barrels at the same time, uh,....he said once was enough for that.... ;)
Full power .357 rds. at bowling pins, he's got this Weaver Stance he prefers, but he is thumping the pins at 7-10 yds.

Brought 3 1lb Tannerite containers out and set them on the berm, 110yds. out, took him only 5 shots to hit one. Makes a nice kaboom, and is a small 5" wide "tupperware" by 4" tall container, tough shot at that range, Sig 556.
(thanks to my doping the scope dead on),,,but his fat head thinks it's his skill, and ninja reflexes,.... :-X
He took this challenge pretty seriously.

and while I cleaned em' all up, smelling like Hoppe's and CLP, and Oil,.....he does what most teenage boys do after a "hard" day at the range:
ate me out of house and home, and,.....

Caught up on his "beauty sleep" :P
Fantastic day, great folks, Tannerite set off car alarms, ;D but had a literal blast with the boy, and can't wait to do it again.

Looks and sounds like a FANTASTIC day. Thanks for sharing TW.

Well done TW and Son, glad your range has no problem with class 3, a good suppressor is very impressive, especially in a real rifle caliber. The 1919 is a cool gun, did not look he had a T and E, or not at least an original one, that's not too bad, I shot an M2 with no T and E ( traverse and elevation ) and let me tell you, that's a monster to manhandle, but would not give up that experience for the world, buddy put in a hundred round belt for me, even at 4 year ago dollars, that was awfully nice of him. I got some video from that day, I need to download it and put a little porn up, the best part or the worst, when he let his fiance ( who was extremely hot and dressed like it ) shoot the mini gun, I had the damn lens cap on, awww.
Glad you and son had a great day, I've been under the weather for 10 days, going to see doc tomorrow, your post kinda helped.

Great show, TW!!!!

m25, I hope you feel better soon, he rigged up a 10lb bag of shot over the barrel, (in pic), kept recoil very stable, and let him just "walk" the line of fire to the target.
That FN FAL, is simply bad ass. He had more toys in his crates, including a $12,000 fully auto M16. Card became full on the camera, but all I can say is the 5.56 maybe considered a "small" round, but in full auto, puts out a wind storm of moving air, felt several feet away, I know because I was showered in brass.( which was OK) ;D
I'll get some together pics this week, God help us, deepwater is coming to town!!!!!

GREAT STUFF! Thanks.
-
Looked to be a blast!!! 8) Good stuff tw!
-
THAT is what I call a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a good time was had by all. Thanks for sharing TW.

Your going to let him corrupt your son ? First it will be girls and beer, then guns and Motorcycles, then he will degenerate to the point he wants a grease gun or welding helmet for Christmas.
There's just no saving them at that point. :'(
;D
