You have touched a fully automatic weapon?

How about a 50 caliber machinegun? The kind that is belt-fed, has a thumb operated trigger on both sides of the action, cocks with a lever that takes a firm grip and strong tug, and sits on a tripod, and doesn't mind looking over 500 yards downrange? Does that count?

When I was about 8-10 years old my dad worked for Mcdonnell-Douglas and they had a family day. One of the attractions was that self-same 50. I got to pull the triggers with my dads hands on top of mine and I'll never forget the sound and sight and feel of that weapon on the tarmac of the airstrip.
