Summer starting to fade, but more video action :)

Ruger GP100 .22 Long Rifle Nice looking target shooter in .22

Thompson Submachine Gun The full-auto version, always fun

Gewehr 98 Mauser The WWI era model in 7.92 Mauser

Swiss K31 Woods Walk Hunting 2 Litres...

P90 Submachine gun (Ep44) Bonus from Machinegun Mike, practicing for SG-1 :D

It's always interesting to hear him make references to places only a few minutes from me. Borrowing a full auto Tommy gun and firing as much as you wish is yet another blessing of my home.
It's a dirty job but I got to do it for 27 years. Thank you.

For his patter, he keeps pretty current with technology :)
He was on facebook yesterday for a live feed, I can only guess using iphone or something, for a little bit for an impromptu show just plinking a few times with one of his ARs. No John, so no good camera, and shooting one handed not the easiest day :D

Would love a P90. Just need the SBR tax stamp so I don't have and extra 12" of barrel sticking out the front lol.

It does have that 'cool' thing going for it :)

Being FN , strikes me as it wouldn't be cheap -- never mind all the stuff you'd pay to get the real one

Yea like all space guns they come with NASA price tags. Anywhere from 2k-3k depending on accessories. The mags and ammo aren't cheap either.

All these companies rip off the civilian market. They take an SMG, neuter it by taking away the full auto capability, then tack $1000 on the price tag lol.......I remember somebody telling me the cost to the US government to produce an M4 was like $300.

Well, you might get a better deal if you bought 500,000 at a time. :)

I believe the lads over at JTF2 are equipped with those P90s. They are pretty radical. but do the job.

(To those who don't know, JTF2 for Joint Task Force 2, are Canada's special forces. They do all sorts of stuff, including protecting VIPs visiting war zones.)

I'm pretty sure the US Secret Service uses them too. The profile conceals nicely under a suit jacket. The ultimate concealed carry gun. 8-)
