I just don't get it !
« on: August 22, 2020, 08:18:13 AM »
I can see there are likely thousands in attendance, but I have a problem why folks would gather, just to see if they could melt down some automatic weapons.
     I can see such activity where technicians are testing weapons, but just to fire them continuously, risking a melt down, seems juvenile.

I have attended one machine gun shoot and only one. WOW what a racket that was and I needed and used both ear plugs and muffs. It wasn't nearly as big as that one and didn't have the artillery or tank like this one.

Why do folks want to shoot up all their ammo as fast as possible? I dunno. I declined the offer to shoot several of them. I took a couple of hand cannons, a .454 and a .480 Ruger and that's what I shot.

I've had no interest in going to another since.

  Yeah Bill, it looks almost like a concentrated effort to, destroy perfectly good guns.  Perhaps I am a bit jaded, since I have fired/used most of the weapons displayed.  It was long enough ago, that I fired and used them without hearing protection. which I now regret each day!

  Lots of noise, burned powder smoke and whatever...
