You don't even have a chance to fire autos do you, Phil?

BTW I believe Gatling guns don't even take a permit here.

I had a "wide grin" and I was just watching a video.  With all the firepower that fella had, I would love/hate to see the ammo budget. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

That guy is Mike Dillon - makes the damn mini-guns, so of course he has plenty. I loved the quad-50 mount, I have always liked them since I built a halftrack model with one on it as a kid.

He also makes the Dillon reloading equipment, not to mention the guy who brought us The Blue Press. And Cathy . . .  ;D  ;D  ;D

I must admit that I love the Blue Press ads. Phil W, too bad Australia is so tough on gun control. Bummer for you. Watching the video had given me a "permagrin" this fine Sunday morning and a itchy trigger finger. Gun range is closed today. Damn.

Phil, if you ever do make it to the USA, I really hope that you get to fire a weapon on full auto. Exhillirating experience and makes the hairs on the back of my neck stick up remembering the first time firing full auto with a M-16 and a M-60. I loved my M-60 but hated the E-3 versions. Loved seeing fields catch on fire from all the tracers down range and night shoots were the bomb. I have seen the aurora borealis and it still can't compare to a night fire with M-60's.

Phil,
If you ever come to the States and come to Florida, send me a message and I'll see if I can meet you. I'll take you to a range here where we can fire all of the full autos we want. I'll let you shoot my Valmet M76 (7.62 x 39) and I think you have a grin on your face when you leave......  ;D

Got to fire a supressed FA MP5...it was a blast but a terrible waste of ammo even back then (and it wasn't even my ammo)!!!!!

Shot an old SW 76 a while back.  9mm straight magazine(not clip) in the bottem.  Fired at the chest of the target, hit it once and the rest went in the air.  Began shooting 3 shot bursts.  Aimed at the crotch.  It would hit one crotch, one chest, and one head.  Loved that gun.   :)

You are correct sir, the Gatling gun isn't considered a machine gun by definition, so no law regarding it.

Machine Gun
-a small arm operated by a mechanism, able to deliver a rapid and continuous fire of bullets as long as the trigger is pressed.

That being said, I still can't afford one. Even if I already owned one, I sure as hell couldn't afford to shoot the thing.
