enfieldspares Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) What's its purpose? To have lawful legal fun. And why not. Unlike so many pointless marathon races with road closures no one has been inconvenienced. Which is purpose enough even if the technical challenge of making a belt fed 12 Bore machine gun weren't sufficient enough purpose in itself. As solving that is in itself a useful purpose that may have an application for, say, firing 12 Bore flares of some other 12 Bore projectile such as "Ferret" rounds. But if we question that if a thing has no usable "purpose" then we should form a line to have our motor vehicles fitted with speed limiters to 75mph.

London Best Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Sometimes I worry about some people in the shooting world. And when I see things like that film I understand why some of the general public worry about people having guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all 12 Bore cartridges contain lethal shot or lethal slug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Sometimes when I was in the USA I had great difficulty in understanding the mind set. My friends took us out one day and set a very dead javelina on top of a plastic can full of what they called tannerite. They then invited one of our party to shoot the can. The result was a relatively mild explosion which blew the javelina in the air ... in pieces. We stood and looked with little emotion, our Texan friends where leaping about cheering and shouting. Why I don't know. Vive la difference as the saying goes or very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strimmer_13 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 I've been watching a lot of pig 'hunting' (loosely saying hunting) vids on youtube from texas. I reckon that would come in handy. Honestly I've never seen such mental pests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray and pray in the jungle, where contacts can take place at as little as 10 yards. Point man, one belt and run👍 Other than military activities I see no UK use.

Stonepark Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Too many stoppages and ammo feed sensitive, still needs some work. Linked thereafter to video I have seen before, belt fed 22lr doing a 1000 rounds without an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people will only ever enjoy punching paper, some clays, some hunt and some run round a field with a shotgun doing battle with ‘falling plates’ .... each to their own and live n let live ( as opposed to James Bond Live n let Die which I believe was Moore’s first outing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Because of the image some of us portray to the general public. In my world there is a difference, a big difference, between a shooting man and a gun nut. Edited August 2, 2020 by London Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
