Machine Gun Shoot

I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Dry Creek Machinegun Shoot north of Flagstaff in 2002 and the successor Northern Arizona Shoot in 2004, but here is some footage of the night shoot in 2003:

The young lady in the red headphones getting in some quality time with her big sister at 3:57 to 4:41 sent the link to this one, which unfortunately is not available for embedding, so clik on it.

This next gets interesting at 1:18: first a brief shot of a mini-gun rattling off at a rate of around 6000 rounds per minute, then some enthusiasts of bigger stuff:



My recollection is that the shooters at the last shoot I went to, 2004, went thru two and a half million rounds in three days and nights. And a couple hundred cases of dynamite for reactive targets. I have no idea how much ammo was used in the 37mm and 75mm howitzers. Less, tho. Anyway, it's a lot of fun for the whole family.

And then there is this one for all of you who like to combine real estate development with duck hunting:
