Mail Call - Knob Creek

[MechAg94]

I am watching Mail Call on the History Channel. R. Lee Erly is doing a show from the Knob Creek full auto shoot. Pretty cool. They are showing video of the night shoot now. Very cool. He was firing a bunch of different full auto weopons and showing some of the competition stuff. One of the best Mail Call shows I have ever seen by far.

I'll have to watch for a replay.

 

[Gillster]

Yup, watching it as well. Man I'd love to go.

I was surprised when they said there was a long waiting list to get a spot on the firing line. That has got to be a lot of fun. I hate to think what people charge to "rent" time.

The waiting list at knob creek is years long, iirc. It's a blast! The real treat is if you get to see the mini guns(s) shoot!.

 

[Technosavant]

That. Was. So. Cool.

It was funny to watch R. Lee Ermey; he looked like a kid in the toy store. I probably would have had less restraint.

Man, I was going to go to bed soon. Now I have to stay up and watch Mail Call.

I went to Knob Creek this past fall. It was pretty fun. I considered renting an MG, but decided against it. For the prices they were charging, I could buy a bunch of ammo, go home and get a similiar feeling bump firing my AK. I've fired enough full-auto that it doesn't really do it enough for me to shell out that kind of money for 30 seconds of fun. About the only things I think I'd actually pay to shoot would be either an MG34, MG42, or the flamethrower.

I was very lucky to catch this episode since I never watch TV.
Very awesome ep.

I've been to Knob Creek several times when I was stationed at Ft. Knox, but I never was able to go to a machine gun shoot. Always had other priorities that made it impossible.

That was so cool. The GE MiniGun -

I missed the show, but I flew out a couple of years ago just for the shoot, and met up with Bogie, Oleg, Betty, and others, also from AW. Great people, good food, Great fun.
The shoot was awesome too. The minigun opened up the night shoot with 1000 tracers in line and just hosed down the range.

They should set up a "VIP" box and invite...

...Fineswine, Schumer, Hillary, Boxer, et al.

That would make a fine show just recording their facial expressions during the goings-on!!!

Hmmm, caught it at 3:00 a.m. this morning, entirely by accident (always leave the set on). Man, what a great time.

Wonder who the guy was that was talking with R. Lee before he went into the Jungle course? I'm wondering if he's a in/famous gun board personality we all know.

That thought crossed my mind, too. If you're here, speak up!
