Hi folks.... :)

Just got back from the bi-annual (April and October) Knob Creek (Kentucky) Gun Show (click here)http://www.machinegunshoot.com/index.html over the weekend. If you ever get a chance to go, I highly recommend it. :D

I put together a brief five minute streaming video of the shooting fun, which I though many of the milsurp collectors here would enjoy. Besides the huge display tents with vendors selling everything and anything related to firearms, there's the massive range shoot. Attendees can pay (rent) to shoot everything from old Gatling guns, WW1 Lewis machine guns, WWII 30 and 50 caliber Browning MG's, German MG34 and MG42's, every automatic rifle you can think of, all the way through to flame throwers and artillery pieces.



(TURN ON and UP your sound. Click the picture to WATCH streaming video)

Note: Be a little patient for it to start, until your Windows Player gets 45-60 secs, to buffer ahead......

If you want to download it to view later, right click picture with your mouse and choose"Save Target As"
Note: It's about a 5 minute - 93 Megabyte file size)

Can you imagine crossing Omaha Beach against German MG42's? After you watch this, you can see that the special effects in the first 20 minutes of the move "Saving Private Ryan" aren't far off what must have been the real thing.

A few quick pics.....

I think that can of WD40 hanging off the WW1 Vickers was even dated 1917. ;)

I loved the clip of the one guy standing behind the MG42 gunner tapping him on the shoulder and pointing out targets.
Looks like a hell of a time.
 
yup been the "the creek" a few times, awesome show, best in the continent bar none.

Dying to go again, you used to stay in fort knox if you were CF's or the guest of someone in the CF's.

I hear the Knox is a closed base now since 911?
 
Lori test drove her first full auto. She got to play with a Sterling while I tried the Krinkov. I don't think she quit smiling until the freaking car eating pothole at the turnoff in Detroit.

I'm kind of glad she was at the van when Paul decided to fire off the 90mm.

During the show, some stupid twit tried to steal an M-60 from one of the vendors. I mean come on! It's not like the crowd won't notice one being lugged to the parking lot. Rumour is he was still walking on his own two feet when turned over to the local cops.

The year I went I was talking to the guys that sell the Barrett Light .50's and they said someone made off with an MP5 the year before.

It was never found
