Buy. Of all the weapons I fired in the Navy it was my favorite.
Well, the M2 was pretty cool 8) But try dragging it around the boat :?
It's a great day in a boy's life when he fires his firstautomatic weapon :lol:

Civilians on Tiger Cruise were able to shoot more weapons than I ever did in the Navy. All I shot was 14 rnds of 22lr through a 1911 in bootcamp. The Tigers shot M-60 and M2s :x :x That really did not sit well with me. Maybe I should get my Friend to get me out on a Tiger Cruise when he goes back to Sea Duty.

I suppose I shouldn't tell you I also fired a M-79 grenade launcher and the M-60 on a night shoot.
I still have the M-79 casing and the belt of 7.62 I fired. You should have been an AO remember
Always Outstanding. On the boat I was on the SAF team and went TAD to the armory.
I shot everything they had. Everybody loves M2 but dragging them around the boat sucked!
