Hey reiver,
Some folks go golfing, some shoot machineguns. The T&E is used for one of our favorite games. During the night shoot there are always small fires breaking out downrange. We take turns trying to put out the fires squeezing off only single rounds, usually by aiming just in front of it to kick up a dirt blanket to put it out. You can definitely see the whole vehicle recoil squeezing off single shots like that.
Shooting the M2 on full auto is fun if you can afford it, especially when they drag out a junk car or some old well casings and you're shooting API to watch impacts.
Some say Big Sandy may not be long for the world. The State is rumbling about it being a major environmental hazard. The US rents the site out often for testing and training. Likely a LOT of depleted uranium downrange. They actually built a replica "Iraqi Town" there out of shipping containers and such for training. There are pneumatic pop-up targets in the hills as well. Marcinko used to bring SEAL 6 out there to train back when. My GF and I met Chris Kyle out there for a Basic Sniper course he was co-hosting for Craft Inc. Nobody knew he was the "Legend" at that time.
