Guys do this sort of thing because they wish they had penises as big as mine. There can be no other reason for such conspicuous macho rubbish. My genitals are the size of the European Union.
....or Saturday night at the farm LOL! Hmm that reminds me, I have a new "hobo can" that needs some vent holes put in it.....wish that video cam would get back from repair!
The scary part is that they seem to be shooting from several positions criss cross and not care to keep their shots down in the canyon. I wonder in how large an area the projectiles came down...
Oh skids, this is all in fun, the paying crowds line up for this "event" which is held twice a year. All rednecks you think? Not so, most of the paying customers are from France, England, Germany etc. and you just can't believe how many are women and girls! I think of my own "gun use" and I can tell you it's 95% fun 4% hunting and 1%...well let's hope I never need that one percent!
We were recently asked why us Southerners kept two guns. I said that you could probably wander around our beautiful part of the country for a long time never needing a gun...but, when the time comes that you do, you want it real bad.
Pod, the nomex is more for protection from hot shells than the pyrotechnics of a tracer round. If you've ever stood next someone unloading like this you would know what I mean, those spent rounds have a nasty habit of getting into the weirdest places and are hot enough to burn you!
Tracer rounds are fun, but aren't that practical (for aim correction) for a few reasons, one of which, like the saying goes "tracers work in both directions", the tracer round is of a different weight, therefore has different flight characteristics than the business rounds do. The also blind you if you are under night vision equipment, the newer rounds (the one's I have) don't light up till 100 yards so, helping to minimize the night vision issue as well as giving up your firing position. They are working on tracers that have an LED in the base that only the person firing it can see...what will they think of next!
...as to the led in the base, that is pretty wild stuff. I would think that even a normal projectile would be visible in the infra red with a heat signature mostly at the trailing edge?
this remind me of funny big cliff tell bout the loud fireshooting firewater drinkers---The Budweiser symbol is their coat of arms---their family tree goes in a circle---their wedding looks more like a family reunion---arhg arhg argh---big cliff make me laugh so hard me shoot condor meat out nose---argh arhg arhg
I once had an old 68 Ford LTD, I bought for $50, when I was 17. Turned it into a demo car, removed all the glass, and moved the gas tank to the back seat. But my buddy was doing the same thing to an old Monte Carlo, and we pretty much destroyed these cars smashing them together, long before we ever entered any real demo derby. One good hit, both of us doing at least 20mph in reverse, and the back of my Ford folded up like a popcan. Well it was ready for scrap... But I hoped to get one more bit of fun out of this car...
So I dragged it out into the wide open field, on a good hot summer day. Filled the steel gas tank up maybe 1/4 tank, and shook it real good, I wanted lots of gas vapor. Then backed off maybe 50 yards, and shot at the gas tank with my 7.62 x 39mm SKS. Plenty of steel ripping power. I hit the tank numerous times, above and below the gas level, but no explosion. Of course as a 17 year old, I didn't exactly have tracer rounds at my disposal. I was using that gun show special commie Norinco ammo. In hindsight, probably the copper plated steel jackets, with lead cores, probably too soft to spark. But when I was 17, and didn't know shit, I figured all bullets sparked hitting steal.
Well after my failed attempt, my good sense got the better of me, and I junked it. I figured my old man might not appreciate a fireball and mushroom cloud in his field.
Anyway, that's when I truly understood... "Chips" just wasn't real. ;-)
And if this makes me a redneck... well I guess I'm not fooling anybody...
The older the kid, the bigger his toys, I suppose...in this case, simply louder and showier.
At least they are "playing" nice together, which is a happy thought, considering the presence of more firepower than the entire country of Cuba at this event (well, maybe not Cuba....but Monaco might want to put this force on retainer).
