Back in 2001 or 2002, I visited my cousin who lived on 40 acres in the sticks outside of Ft. Myers, FL. On this particular Sunday, his neighbor must have invited a couple buddies over for some fun with their firearms. For about two hours all I listened to was full-auto weapons firing, semi-auto firing and even the resounding boom of a .50 cal.......... I sure would have loved to have gone over and met that guy.
Last auto fire for me was a United States Machine Gun, Caliber 7.62 mm, M60 on USS Gemini either Nov 85 or Feb 86. Don’t see the point in a 50 BMG, though I’d love to have one. What are they now? 9 grand? I could find a heck of a lot better things to spend 9 grand on. Let’s see that would be 7 or 8 M-4’s or 45 Mosin Nagant’s, 18 AK’s, or 6 or 7 Kimber M1911’s. The list goes on and on. :-)
