Lets see some targets with big holes!
when aerial gunning wolves from the backseat of a Supercub it is best that the gunner avoid hitting the prop, the wing lift struts and the ski cable !
The late Don Heath ( Ganyana) was also a pilot and mounted an M1 Garand underneath his Cub that he could fire remotely and could reach through a hole in the floor to reload. It worked at first but he quickly discovered why the military synchronized their machine guns with the prop cycle!
My brother had a radio antenna on a brand new 4x4 truck suffer the same fate one night on Jack Rabbit duty. Not sure how to time a Ruger Mark I 22 pistol with a radio Antennae but I wish I did. His truck. His Ruger. His little brother... Thankfully, in those days, we did not have camera's around to record every incident!
Did get the rabbit though if that counts.

fla3006Me, 500 A2, 1/4" steel plate, 647 grain API surplus bullets. Don't do this if grass is dry, incendiary bullets can start fires. Note bullet hitting ground down range after passing through plate.

chuck375Nice! I was thinking of doing the same thing with my 500 Jeffery, but I think the boys have talked me into buying a 50 BMG
