Super cool to see it in action
yes sir, 250 round per second is fun.
Participated at an event in Long Beach, CA few years back that use one of these and it was quite a thrill.
a lot of the fun for me was seeing these as a kid on old westerns movies, perhpas today more common in video games.
That thing's got one hell of a good suppressor on it!
It is louder in person… but it is firing cowboy loads. The originals would have been black powder. 1880s version used rifle cartridges.
Love your channel man I reenact with the 149th PA - lots of great information man
Thanks Pard! Hope you are getting out and doing some reenacting yourself this marching season. Perhaps we can meet up some day.
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 I would love to I have some videos posted from the season already if you want to check em out
That is terrifying to be around now. I imagine it was so much worse for those that faced it in the 1860s.
very true pard
Another great video man
thanks pard, hope you are doing well.
The John Wayne special.
Indeed, thanks pard for the comment, hope you are doing well.
