Frank_and_Barbra_at_YRL-1

Portrait of our friends Frank and Barbra taken at the YRL range (note the hearing protection). Taken in the midday sun, they are sitting in the shade. The entire background is blown out, other than a bit in the upper right corner. This is not a photoshop effect. I find this image to be striking.

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.
