Taking guff for shooting 2 gun

[Dr. Bob]

Pony Racer & Books,

I spent part of the afternoon drooling over the Maxims, Chauchats and Lewis guns at the WWI Museum where I was volunteering.  Only problem is that they are behind glass and ya can't play with them.   They'd go through the ammo at an EXPENSIVE rate, but it would be GREAT FUN!!

That's no fooling. I have a Auto Ordnance Thompson Model 1927-A1. It is only semi auto and it still goes through the ammo at an EXPENSIVE rate, but it is GREAT FUN!!

Howdy!

I'm another 2 gun shooter because of authenticity reasons.  I LOVE to shoot any and ALL- especially shotgun, but I like being authentic just as much.

Full auto?  Or fast semi?  Love it.  (Them)  I'm very grateful for one thing, 'tho.  Due to a lucky break in my Army career, I was assigned for 4 years at Ft. Knox to a unit that tested equipment.  (USAARENBD)  Because I was Combat Arms (tanks) I was on a number of projects that shot a LOT.  Of many calibers.  I'm NOT bragging, but I've fired well over a million rounds of small arms and over 5,000 main gun rounds.  (105 mm & 120 mm)  To put that into a monetary prospective, Practice  rounds (not combat ammo) for the tanks are over $3000.  Each.  The small arms I fired most was 7.62, but there's a lot of Cal. 50 in there, too, with a bunch of smaller stuff as well.  The vast majority of that was full-auto.

I want to thank each and every one of you, my fellow taxpayers    for "feeding my habit!"  The good part of this experience is, I have very little desire to scratch the full-auto "itch" because all I see nowdays is dollar $ign$ going downrange!    My Dillon STILL gets a pretty good workout, 'tho - but not near as much as it used to.
