Submachine Guns Firing

We did some full auto fire using a Mac 10 .45 ACP submachine gun on Saturday. Several of the folks you see shooting had never fired a machine gun. You should have seen the smiles on their faces after the experience. The Mac 10 fires 900 rounds per minute, which a high cyclical rate. A submachine gun is a pistol caliber machine gun.

You can see the ejected shells flying. And the first photo shows the muzzle rise typical of an inexperienced shooter firing a fully automatic firearm.

Northern Az. Classic USPSA Match

This past weekend Gary and I took photos of the Northern Az. Classic USPSA match, held a the Yavapai Recreation League range. I took about 250 images and Gary got twice that number, so there a little bit of post production work to be done.

I did go over the photos I took on Saturday, they are available on my flickr account here. I will be adding to them as we get them ready.

Big Sandy Machine Gun Shoot

Saturday (3/28) we went to the Big Sandy Machine Gun Shoot in Wikieup, AZ. It was great fun! I got to shoot a M1919 heavy .30 caliber machine gun, Gary shot a .50 caliber BMG heavy machine gun. The weather was fine, we got to meet other shooters including R. Lee Ermey a.k.a “Gunny”. There are lots more photos on my Flickr account. Here’s Gary’s blog post on this event.

On the negative side, I saw some gun handling that would have resulted in the person being sent home if it occurred where I was a range safety officer.

My Husband Has Started a Blog

Update: Gary decided to use WordPress instead of Blogger.

Gary has started a blog called Prescott Shooters. It’s about firearms, shooting (bullets, not images), RKBA, and related subjects. He’s going to post lots of photos, some of which are photoshopped. Check it out.
