I was shooting a few weeks ago and the neighbors kept yelling at us to stop, and he eventually called the police. They showed up, asked if anybody was drinking, and then just left. You could tell the neighbor was fuming mad that he called the cops and they didn't do a single thing (because it's perfectly legal to shooot on your own land, obviously). Despite the number of dick cops out there, there are still some good, friendly guys out there as well. If he calls them again, I might just invite them to shoot a bit with us

What's the rate of fire on that mg-42? Sounded like that thing really ate through rounds. There is a reason they called it Hitlers buzz saw. |

I want to pull the trigger on a MG-42 at least once before I die. Make sure you do it on the ground from the shoulder and from a mount. The MG42 shot prone, from the shoulder rattles your teeth and blurs your vision. You dont feel recoil, you just vibrate. skip to :40 for MG42 converted to 7.62x51

A round punctured his helmet, ran the side of his head, and exited the back. Eventually a Sgt. told him that he was bleeding and to see the medic. They put a bandaid on it, and sent him back. Later, a Purple Heart arrived. He never told us about that Purple Heart out of embarrassment for getting one for such an insignificant wound-- after seeing so many maimed and killed. We only found out when my mother sent off to get all of his medals for a display and discovered that he had two Purple Hearts. He told us after she quizzed him about it. |

It's very well-attended, and there are ARFCOMMER's there who are very generous with their guns, if you supply the ammo. Send the wife and kids to Disney in September.

I got to shoot an m1928 Thompson a few weeks ago, and it was simply awesome. An MG42 and M2 are next on my machine gun list to shoot.
