Name tags probably would have been nice, because the only ones I knew were Black Talon, TDH, Kevin, and Rob-cubed.

I was wearing the black coat with blue baseball cap and pony tail.

Somebody said they were bring tags, I brought a bag of Sharpie markers but never saw the tags there. I had a black sweatshirt and pullover.dark blue hat that said "The Alamo"on it.

Maybe the 42's will cool down by then, those barrel swaps were a little warm. Vince, thank for putting this together and to Adam for the food, it was AWESOME. My mother and father stopped by, both in their mid/late 70's and got both of them to rock on the MG42 and dad fired my FNc and one of the Thompsons, he said he though he was Al Capone for a split second........

LOL, if it was the little Filipino that was my wife. She scares me sometimes, too...

Glad to have met you. She had a smile on her face the whole day.

I was hoping to get her behind the .22 "sewing machine", but she declined. Maybe next time.

It was great that so many SOs/kids showed up. Both she and my daughter loved just being spectators. And my daughter asked "When I turn 18 can we come back and shoot"? So proud!

Good bumping into you too. Wish I'd done more socializing but the noise wasn't exactly conducive to conversation...

Nice montage. For a second I thought I was in there as a guy was wearing a blue jacket and black and orange hat! Strangely, I couldn't remember shooting that gun. A little concerning when you can't remember all the things you shot but pretty safe to say the eye protection was not mine in that scene!

Thanks to everyone who came out and especially for your patience while sorting out the ammo on the SMG line.

Double thanks to the guys and girls who worked as RSOs and as mag loaders/check-in folks. Mag loading is NOT fun.......especially PPSh drums.....

I liked how I asked vince how the hell the russians loaded these things and he was like they didnt theyvdied and someone picked it up already loaded. Great meeting all of you now to ice the fingers lol

I would have ate some more, but I don't think the misses wanted to sit thar and watch me eat.

Yeah, you do suck. :rasp:

A big thanks again to everyone who made this possible. I sincerely appreciate all the help from our RSOs, Sundazes & embermage, as well as the numerous folks who lent us a hand loading magazines and drums. Thanks again to Adam for providing the food and to forkauto for the truck to destroy (as well as truck disposal). We're really glad that so many people came out and had a good time; we will definitely do this again in the spring.

I know some others who would definitely be interested, my father for starters.

Damn you Vince. Now you made me want an M1 Thompson.

I don't live far from the Coon Club and I didn't hear a thing. Are you sure you guys were doing it right?

Jealousy does not even come close to describing what I'm feeling right now.

I'm with you. Unfortunately, family obligations kept me from attending, but I'm there for the next one.

Those crabs were so dang big, she could only make it through 10! They were exceptional. She says thanks.

Oh hell's YES! We can't wait. And thanks again to Duffy's and everyone that worked to make this happen.

Double post.

Thanks to the crew at Duffy's and the people that helped put on the shoot. That was a great event. Great people, great food, and great guns.

rj91jeep · Oct 20, 2014

My uncle said he heard 2 loud blast over the sound of the log splitter running later in the day. Damn I knew I should have stayed till the end instead of leaving at 3 when I ran out of money

Nabla · Oct 20, 2014

This was the most fun I've had in a long, long time! Thanks for everyone that put this event on, especially Vince, who told me about the shoot upon my maiden visit to Duffy's last weekend! I had a great time meeting people; I was the (youngish-looking) guy in the dark green shirt (with the influenza viral capsid on the back) and jacket.

I couldn't decide which sub gun I liked better: the MP40 or M1A1 Tommy. Both handled smoothly and had a lot less recoil than I expected! The MG42 was also a blast! Truly an awesome experience this weekend! Unfortunately/fortunately, I'm seriously thinking about investing in a full auto...but I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to own one in Baltimore City?

Needless to say, this last weekend was a blast and I look forward to the next shoot!!

I'm glad you enjoyed the shoot. And good news, you can legally own a machine gun in Baltimore City.

rbird7282 · Oct 20, 2014

First I'd like to say a HUGE thank you to Vince and all the Duffy's crew for putting this shoot on. (Also to ihascrabs for the great food) This was not a small undertaking between the guns, targets, ammo, mags, and everyone working to keep it a fun and safe shoot. They all did a great job, especially the mag loaders! Never shot a machine gun before yesterday, now I've shot 7 (Thompson, PPS, SKS, AR15, MP5, MG42, and the .22 MG) as well as 2 rounds through the .50 Barrett. That thing was totally manageable. MUCH easier on the shoulder than I expected.
That MP5 was BADASS. Very easy to control.
PPS-Great fun, especially with the 75 rnd. drum.
Thompson-What can I say? Old school classic. Doesn't get much better.
AR15-Fun
SKS-Fun, and shocked at the cyclic rate on that. Not sure what it was, but that thing ripped through a mag.
.22 MG Tons of fun when it worked. Glad I didn't have to load that drum mag.
MG42-Complete Badassery.
Gives you a new perspective on what our men faced in WWII. Very sobering.
Apparently I should have stayed until the very end though.
Good weather, great day.
Thanks again to all that helped.
