Mine is the good ole .50 BMG. I worked for a company where I got numerous times to fire this beast. It is an adrenaline rush for sure. This one was on a mount cemented in the ground. When you cut loose with a full can of ammo you had to hold on and go for the ride. You really have to hold on tight to keep it on target.I was reallly surprised at how accurate it was on single shot mode. I would shoot at about 30 yards with open sights and it woul cut holes. If you ever get a chance to fire one, do it.

I’m a big fan of the MP5 A3 and the F89 Minimi (I think you refer to it as the 5.56mm SAW) both great guns that you can dump a lot of rounds on target from the shoulder

Id have to say of the few Automatic guns ive fired i like the MAC-10 in 9mm the best, lol you can only have 5 round mags here in Canada for semi-auto center fires, so one burst and the things empty. BigCountry, i too like percision shooting but once in a while its nice to let some lead fly in a hurry.

I went to this event in Central Ky they have every year. You can fire off a tank there for a price. Anything and everything you want. Walked out 200 dollars lighter and had nothin to show for it. Ever since then I have been salty on full autos.

I thnk i know the place your talking about Bigcountry, its called Knob Creek range i belive. They charge like a dollar for a round of 7.62x39, here i can buy a box of 20 for 4 bucks so i can understand why youre salty about full-auto's.

I must admit an affinity for the 50.

But since we're just yappin here, I don't know the model number or even the caliber for sure, I recall seeing a video online of this behemoth but couldn't find it. But I think it is a 20mm "zipgun" that is used on many destroyers in the Navy and some have been put on heavy armored vehicles in the Army. The naval version is essentially a tower on each corner of the ship with several barrels sticking menacingly out of the side. It doesn't have a "report" because of the THOUSANDS of rounds per second it can lay down. It's more like a loud drone and whine. I think the original purpose was for laying a virtual wall of projectiles into the path of an encroaching missle or other threat.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt,

Red, you're talking about the Phalanx. It does indeed have a report but at 4500 rpm, it's just a long boom! Quite impressive to say the least.

Mine would have to be the 7.62 NATO M249,
its awesome when you get a hold of some tracers and just light up a target, my target was an old washing machine.
