"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
When I was younger, some friends and I would occasionally sneak off down to the river bottoms along the river bank, with our favorite "assault rifles" (really, just semi autos) and do some plinking. Cans and such. But, the last thing before we headed home, we had what we called a "mad minute", blasting away at the far bank with everything we had. I always thought it was pretty impressive....until I saw that scene in Predator.
We occasionally had a "mad minute" on the firing line during qualifications, r-man, mostly when we were told not to turn in any unused ammo. Or we didn't want to go through the bother of storing unused ammo until we could turn it in -- residue was much easier to secure and account for.
Oh, please! Wyatt Earp didn't use some penny ante pistol at the OK Corral gunfight.
ReplyDeleteIt's true! Check out this hysterical archive photo of the actual gunfight in progress.

(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
Looks like the Clantons never had a chance!

ReplyDeleteTurns out, we were seriously undergunned.
