OT Things to ponder

Or a grunt with any kind of anti tank weapon. Heck , I'm pretty sure a redneck with a Barret 50 cal sniper rifle can drop it with one shot! [:D]

Don't think you even have to be a redneck. [8D]

[Chickenboy]

But an AT gun would work too...[8D]

Sure you do. No one else considers this fun [8D]

Supporting your theory, notice his neck is covered in the photograph...

May I point out that the subject of said photo is none other than Andre , AKA "Chickenboy"? And despite his being a current resident of the great state of Texas , (and most of his family hails from there) he was raised in "California" , and spent much of his life in Minnesota. That makes him , unfortunately a "redneck wanna be". I rat him out as a "northern Florida (AKA southern Georgia" reck neck wanna be" ) myself. [:D]

One wonders if he is trying to hit something further than 50ft away [:'(][:D]

I'm sure of it. He's an excellent shot. He did great with my M-1 Garand (although like me he got a sore shoulder out of it) and he was really outstanding with my M-1 Carbine (I had to keep a close watch on him , he really liked it!). I'm just surprise he isn't shooting the BAR next to him in the photo. He has a "thing" for old iron. (As Do I). [:D]

[Lecivius]

Just like me! Steady hands, and all that [;)]

I was putting a couple 10 round magazines through the wheel hub of a minivan 250 yards away. Troublemaker. [:D]

THIS BAR? [;)]

But I'm afraid that the BAR isn't my one true love. That's this little honey.

I'm guessing this, like your hairy palms, is an unfortunate side effect from your thrice daily habit of...oh...never mind... [:'(]

Is that the '42, aka Hitlers' buzz saw? Dude, your shootin' all the fun sh... stuff. Where? I sense a road trip at some point.[:D]

Edit: What no 'ma deuce'?[:D]

Aye. MG42. Loved it.

We were also scheduled on an originally chambered (not some fake-o rechambered copy) StG44, but they've had problems with the feed on it and had to take it off line. [:(]

All these toys (and you can drive / shoot guns on real tanks) in Uvalde, TX at:

https://www.drivetanks.com/ [8D]

An M2 is available for a shoot, as is an M134. Frankly that would be a tough choice. As it stood, we elected for the M9 flamethrower, the MG42, BAR and Barrett M82. And, of course, the PaK40.

This may be taking things a bit far...

OK, thanks. Now one more question. If I do go, how much time should a 'real' geek who wants to drive and shoot as much as possible plan to spend at/around the place? Two, three days? Keep in mind that I had many business trips to OKC, and spent entire days each time at the 45th Infantry Museum. In addition to that while in the Bay Area I nearly missed the boat back from Alcatraz. Yeah, yeah, I know that's where I belong.[:'(]

Add to that I assume that you live in the neighborhood and would feel remiss if we did not take the chance to meet, if at all possible. That is also assuming you cold 'stand' meeting a smarta$$ Yankee, from its heart, NYC.[:D]

P.S. This only applies to WWII stuff. If they have any modern items I doubt I would be interested in any but the most exotic.

Do you get a free sombrero with entrance fee or is that extra?
