Thought you all would get a kick out of this. Probably the most awesome video ever created.

It was always awesome to hear the C-RAM go nuts. Granted it meant there was shit about to drop on your AO, so theres that, but hearing mass amounts of firepower always gives me a boner.

To me the Canadian, the way it is mounted and everything, I just figured it was probably military rather than civilian, in which case, they don't care because it is much more your dollars than it is theirs that they are sending downrange. But if civvy then yeah, be expensive, even if it were a business expense, so what in a way - all you are really saving is the tax cost of those dollars, but what is that in America - 30%? So you are still pissing away 70% of that dollar. I'd prefer to take the 70% and pay the tax....most of the time. Sometimes not. |

Based on the way they sent out a drone to shoot at I assumed this was someones private setup at a fun shoot. And I assumed if military they would go with a heavier caliber like 20mm like they use on SeaWitch. That looked to my eye to be 762. First thing sprung to my mind was the guys at Dillon Precision who could and would build something like that.
Yup. Looked it up. One and only cool guys at Dillon. 12,000 rounds per minute. Had to have shot 4000 rounds in that clip. Well heck, they build reloaders and deal in parts and supplies so I guess they can make it cheaper than the around $450 a 1000 we poor people pay. |

But at that shoot what stood out to me was this guy with a bowling ball cannon. Seriously. Or more like a mortar. When he fired it it went almost straight up and too forever to come down and I swear it LOOKED like it was coming down on us. There was also an announcement after he fired it to NOT shoot his bowling ball. |

They got it made and honed out and were ready to test it. They decided to start "light" and put in a pound of smokeless double base powder to "test" it and get an idea of the load they needed to fire it. They used levels to aim it as straight up as they could and got all the guys in a circle spread out 25-30 yards out to guesstimate how far up it went to work on the next load. They touched it off and the bowling ball immediately went out of sight. They said "Oh Shit" as they were now not sure they were far enough out in the prairie to have it not come down onto one of the buildings! LMAO Someone claimed to have heard an impact - they thought, but a check of all the buildings showed no signs. Luckily they painted the ball hunter orange (their one GOOD idea) and they found it later that week about 150 yards "down range" from the buildings in the field. Took them some time to get the nerve to shoot it again, but they got it down.

I second that too, have one onto my combat helmet in white/blue/IR and wouldnt go w/o it.
Lasers and lamps are strictly forbidden in Germany at civil available weapons and even the possessing of it could be considered as a crime, because you would only be able to buy outside of my country.
