Umm...they don't use it for hunting, they shoot it for fun. That's why it's a "gun."

Theres more to gun ownership than simply blasting furry animals out of existence!
Many of these people simply collect them as a hobby and shoot dirt or car bodies and other scrap on the weekends. While others buy them as assets for the future (A $600 Browning machine gun bought in the 60's could be worth more than $30,000 today)

And then there is always the basic human right called self defense!, which should apply to every law abiding citizen on earth, regardless of race or nationality!. But of course certain governmental organizations and dictators cannot stand the idea of law abiding citizens being able to defend themselves and have outlawed firearms and self defense for the most part.



Keep your powder dry and stay alert! the "Blue Helmets" are coming!

If you think a 7.62mm Gatling gun is fun, try a 30mm GAU 8A!

Check out the flames from the ejection port!

Also on the 7.62 Minigun, with some Monster Garage footage of the failed RX7 project getting blown away!

Just what i was thinking. What's the point? Someone said it's fun but honestly reading a good book would be much more productive IMHO.

That's OK. There are plenty of warriors to defend those safely hidden inside the castle.

There are also many different shooting sports such as USPSA, IDPA, 3-gun, SSC, bullseye, and many more; they all offer a good balance of fun, sportsmanship and training, keeping your physical and mental skill sharp when it comes to gun handling.

I guess I can agree with that to a certain degree,

I wouldn't be able to field strip an 50cal M2HB blindfolded, without having first sat down and read the technical manual!
