Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

First of all if were airforce, I'd be ROFLMAO over how long it took those guys to hit the first one. They'd all be dead about ten times over if it had white ones on the rails. Secondly I am in awe of the sheer amount of money that took. .50 BMG tracers, not cheap. Large jet RCs not cheap either. Where do I sign up? ;D

Quad 50's rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want one - and the money to pay for the ammo!

Let's see, US$5 per round, times four guns, by rate of fire times a few hours of shooting -- priceless.

Almost literally.

 That's the Knob Creek "Night Shoot".
FQ, those are NOT jet R/C planes, in one segment it shows it being hand launched, which would not be needed if it was Jet powered. It has Chem Lights on it for visibility.

I didn't see props. Maybe rear mounted? Regardless an expensive day at the range, but damn fun.

Dillon made that video and it's callled Fire Storm In The Desert "Machine Gun Magic". It's worth buying. It took 4 years to make and a half-million rounds. They shoot everything from a Gatling gun to just about any kind on machine gun you can think of to a minigun. IIRC the night shoot was the last part of the tape. Most of the guns you get to see one at a time all day.

I may be a spoil-sport here, but while it looked like a LOT of fun, where the hell were all those rounds gonna land?  It's not like they had a backstop high enough to catch them.
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

They have a huge place in Arizona and patrol it with a helicopter before they start shooting to make sure no one is trespassing. They're being safe.

That's a relief, Frank.  Thanks for clearing that up for me.  You da man!!  ;D
