Got invited up to a Machine gun shoot in Casper, Wyoming this weekend. The owner of the Stuart tank wanted to have a full "crew" with the tank to put on a little show for the crowd and kids. "Hollywood" as he kept calling it. We trucked up the Tank on Thursday and stayed up there till Sunday. we shot 15 37mm shells out of the main gun as well as one of the vendors loaned us a M1919a4 machine gun to mount on the anti aircraft mount. Along with 600rnds of .308 tracer that they didn't want to haul back home. The range was over 1200yds long and by yesterday we had the tank sighted in and shooting dead on at 800yds. Nailing a 4x4 foot piece of plywood. There was everything from uzis to the Ma Deuce there at the show and all for rent. Got to shoot several ww2 era weapons including a grease gun! Also fired 100rnds through an uzi and 20 through a HK G-3. What a kick in the pants! Heres some pictures of the shoot and ill have the video edited here very soon!
And the shot of the weekend! There was a model airplane guy flying up and down the range trying to get shot down. He had a ME109 and we attempted to get it into the picture like we were firing at it. Didnt think we had a chance in hell of getting the perspective correct but it worked! here it is, i turned it B&W for some more realism!
Glad to get a great reaction here! Some other forums didnt like the shooting aspect of it. I know its not M37 related but it is MV related. Boy what a heck of a time, its amazing to hear and see the old girl alive!
