Ruin Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I met up with some guys from AR15.com on Saturday and got to play with some very nice and very expensive guns. They were all kind and happily let me shoot off a few rounds on each one. I had a blast ( ). I thought I'd share some photos and some videos with you all... Give me a few minutes to get them all going... Count 'em: 1, 2, 3! -----Videos Mr. Happy 1.5MB 9MM - Woah! 0.7MB 50 - Rapid Fire 8.0MB Last 4 pics are of me.

cdnsniper Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Looks like something out of a dream. I wish I could have been there, it looks way too fun to miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruin Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 It was absolutely incredible. That 50cal nearly knocked me back off the bench! It was so intense, I had to do it again, haha. At one point, the guy who owns it didn't warn me he was firing it... so I was in the lane to the left of it using a spotting scope helping someone else zero in his rifle... all of the sudden this thing goes off and the force made my hair stand up on end, it was crazy. Next he decided to put in some tracer rounds. They ended up bouncing off of something and flying in the air like a flare gun... one landed on some brush, and luckily we caught it in time and put out the fire... that was funny after we knew the fire had died. Last thing we'd want to be is responsible for setting acres of land on fire shooting of 50BMG tracers, lol. The M60 was something out of a dream too, simply WOW. The guy who owned it was even nice enough to hand me about 30 rounds of 44Mag because I talked about it costing so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Three cases mid-air ain't bad, but I've seen a guy do that with a bolt action rifle... Awsome pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruin Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 Just to demonstrate that he was playing with a burst fire mode. Glad you like the pics, I'm quite proud of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've got to move to USA just because of the gun laws I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA sear Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) Hey Ruin, glad you found a good group to shoot with. Nice to see that you finally got out to a REAL shoot. Keep hanging around those people, and next thing you know, you will find yourself unloading 30,000 rounds a year at a minimum. Back in the day, 50,000 or more was not uncommon to me. I have not had much shooting time this year. So far that is. I guess I will have to make up for lost time this summer. Thanks for sharing the pics. Keep rolling those rounds out. EDIT: BTW, save up stuff like old dead CPUs, safes, furniture, ect... These items make for some good shooting. Not mention the fact that it is good to be able to see the effects of round on actual objects. Also, I found that making a thick mixture of Knox geletin, or starch in bags of water make a decent medium for testing hollowpoints.

Ruin Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 I'm hoping we do a similar thing next month. They're a great group of guys and were just way too friendly. I'll keep those targets in mind, goodness knows I have enough spare PC parts laying around to have some fun with, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pz3 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) most people with guns are friendly Nothing better then going to a gunshow with some cash looking for a good deal. well .... other then shooting of course.

SnowFella Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Tracers and dry grass/bushes really don't mix as you found out! Never going to forget a summers day spent at the range with 4 Mag58's loaded with every 4th round a tracer. We just got darn lucky the resulting grassfire never reached out UXO containment area before it got put out. Not so sure I'd want to open up with normal ammo against a safe though jchung, tend to be to solid for the rounds to penetrate and you never know where the bouncing bullets will end up. Good example of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruin Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 most people with guns are friendly Except those who shoot you with one right? I wish we had more gun shows around here. The Expo center near by has some once in a blue moon, but cost like $10 to get into and they never advertise for it. It's really a shame. @Snowfella, yeah, it was really amazing. What was very interesting though was that it somehow found the only patch of dry brush in the area, seeing as it rained just earlier in the morning. go figure huh?

Good example of that. Wow, that was funny to see because I have never seen that happen. Here is a pic of a "fire proof" safe we laid into with Speer Gold Dot .45ACP rounds, and also a bunch of 5.56mm rounds out of an M16. The metal plating must have been much thicker on that safe they were shooting. I would probably only use a .338Lapua, or .50BMG for larger safes like that.

squad_e Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 wow.... most of those are my favs, well in GR that is .. I have a few Airsoft stuff .. You cant touch a water pistol in the UK nowadays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruin Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 In North Carolina, I can own anything from a little pea shotting Walther P22 to a Ma Deuce AA gun. Just go through the proper motions with the state and the BATF, and you're good to go. The gun laws in NC rock (except the whole, buying ammo age limit thing - that's why I LOVE pawn shops, hehe). Glad you like the pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Militiaman Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Burst mode is for noobs. I think I've got to move to USA just because of the gun laws I think. That depends where you want to move. Some places in the United States have awful firearm laws. I would say the states with the most restrictive firearm laws are: California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Massachusetts.
