2 weeks ago i was invited to a guys place to take part in his annual machine gun shoot. Needless to say the son and I had a grand ole time.
The reason it has taken me a week to post this stuff up is my camera took a ricochet and it has taken me a week to recover the video. Needless to say my high $$ Canon video camera is TOAST. But i guess its better to replace the camera after taking a ricochet in the view finder than to take the ricochet in my throat...as would have happened if it wouldnt have hit the viewfinder.
Anywho....ENJOY i know we did!!
Instead of a "shotgun" start to the festivities, it was a "Cannon" start!
Fun with tannerite!!
One of the guys that invited me shooting his suppressed M11...
The shot that destroyed my camera....again better to take one in the view finder than in the throat!! (Caution, some course language)
The highest level of entertainment! not an MP3, not an MP4 but a full auto MP5!!! (It has a modified competition trigger, hence the "shooters issues")
The G-18 in action! Thats right kiddies, a FULL AUTO Glock 9 mm pistol!!!
Plate rack and the 1911! Some of the plates were "frozen up" so they were tough to drop. 14 shots, 12 pings...not terrible IMHO
My youngest having his first "orgasm". He got to shoot the Browning 1919. This is the footage I shot....
The footage my buddy that invited me to this shindig took of the boy shooting the 1919.
and a still shot of the 1919 in action...
The 1919...
Tons of Indiana fun had by all!!!

Thanks for sharing your adventure. I've got a buddy who has some relatives that have a shoot like that every summer. I'm still waiting for an invite. 
Just another night at work for me and Monty will be back here again bright and early.
