My brothers, uncle and I met up with my friend Andy over the weekend. It was his birthday, so we decided to stay at his place on Staurday night and meet up Sunday to go shoot machineguns (he's got a Browning as well). They all shot flawlessly, which was something I'd wondered about. (You have to figure that these are hand-made, custom guns. A lot can go wrong.) I'm really happy with it. (Well, I had to file down the T&E a little so it would fit on the traverse bar, but that wasn't a big deal.)

My brother showed Andy the video he took on our last trip to the Big Sandy MG shoot in October. Andy was on the fence about going, and ended up staying home. While watching Shawn's video, he gained a new appreciation for the scope of the event. He just stood there watching it saying things like "No way..." and "Right on!". After it was over, he turned around and said "OK, we're going to need a shitload of ammo..."

We all put in our orders and he went to the store Monday. Took two hand trucks two trips to get it all out to his car:

Each one of those cans holds 400 rounds of .308 ammunition, and there are 23 of them. I think that ought to about do it.
