If he can shoot MaDeuce from the hip, he doesn't NEED a weapon.


Even Sgt Rock could only do that with a water-cooled .30! I don't think a
person could heft a gen-yew-wine M-2 .50 and actually shoot it "as God
intended". Sure were a lot of fun to shoot, but I prefer it hard mounted, to a
ship, preferably.

Its always better to lose -an- engine, not -the- engine.

Equally fun when fired from a pintle on a 113.

Moreso when the not so wily Brer Fox tries to make it across the range.
Mine made it about 50m when a burst caught up with him.


Fired a burst 'acciedentally' at a bunch of mud crabbers at 5,000m - the
splashes were way off, close enough for the proj to still be supersonic and
make splashes in the water about 2m in the air.


It was all accidental - it's in the report.


Cheers

In my case, it was a bipolar rabbit, bent on suicide...
