I used to keep one of those under my bunk in 'Nam. An earlier model no doubt.
Fortunately, I never needed to fire out 850 rounds with one trigger pull.
That guys hand/arm will be tingling for a few days.

That's a really good way to test your equipment. I can't imagine how much all that ammo costs. Then again, I'm not paying for it and they probably didn't care either. It didn't jam too.

I shoot pistols, rifles and fire Canon's for fun.

All hail the red L.

Yeah baby... nothing like a heavy caliber SAW.

7.62X51 Nato currently goes for between $500 to $650 per 1K.

I just bought 1K for my war rifles but that'll last me a couple years.

And to prove how macho you are, after firing reach down and grab that barrel and yell "Kowabunga!"

Nope, but I saw a newbie grab a .50 barrel after about 200 rounds, it was very instructive (and a 9.6 on the Ouchometer).
