Shooting RC Planes With Machine Guns At Big Sandy/YouTube. What We Are Up Against.

Look up this video and you will see what we are up against. These gun nuts use every weapon imaginable on this range. Some even have their own howitzers and one guy has a tank with an operational turret (another video).

It is sickening. You can see what we are really up against. There is an element that the GOP supports that believes that any and all weapons are their right. Even bazookas. M-60 machine guns and the like. Gatling guns. It is a hobby you know.

 

I do WWII reenacting. Our club has a member with a reconstructed PzMkIV with 75mm long gun. It's very cool.
Not to mention the various SMGs, LMGs, HMGs, semi-auto rifles, pistols, etc etc etc...

Suck it, Hop-a-long.

1. In what state is Big Sandy?

If TN, there’s KKK in Big Sandy that has their own radio station. They moved in there about 16-18 yrs ago.

6. Yes It Is. Look Up -Big Sandy 2012 SAR Promo. YouTube. Sickening.

One guy has a tank destroyer. Many guys have their own howitzer. One has a gatling gun.

Somebody could put an eye out or lose a foot if they aren't careful.

OMG! That is painfully           ! Civil War and Medieval Reenactors have been around for decades (the late 70s that I know of personally). Ditto for collectors of militaria, up to and including tanks, fighters (jet and prop), and bombers. Has TheMasterNematode really only discovered them recently? Or has he hobblingly descended into paranoid dementia?

Oh! Those reenanctors really are hobbyists, with a few dinner theaters thrown in. Ditto collectors of militaria (unless there's been assaults on schools or HilLIARy rallies by M4 Sherman tanks the MSM failed to report).

I watched the video and it looked like a fun range!

That's the thing, you probably aren't interested in what primitives think is fun. Such as getting pounded in the butt, looking at abortion pics or listening to bad poetry at coffee houses.

... a reconstructed PzMkIV with 75mm long gun ...

Is that a Panzer Mark IV? Very cool! Wasn't that the main tank used by Rommel in North Africa?

Yup.

Well, it was the BEST tank used in Africa, right up until the bitter end when one Tiger battalion was deployed, when it was far too late to matter.  Most of the pics you see of the Afrika Korps tanks are Panzer IIIs of various subtypes, the Pz IVs were the heavy hitters early in the war and the the mainstay later on, with the chassis of both the Pz III and IV being heavily used for all sorts of other vehicles from StuGs to SP artillery and AA vehicles.

A Pz IV that's a runner is pretty damn unusual, a handful were put to use after the war by others (Including Syria) but they were fairly obsolescent and nobody was making spares for them anymore, so nearly all the survivors were scrapped.
