Jeez....now that is faster than the human eye can see, didnt believe it till i saw it in slow motion....good stuff Mr.Retlaw

Astonishing,Retlaw! I could do six shots, on target at 25 yards, in just under six seconds and thought that was fast! Also that was double action or semi-auto.
I'm not sure if it's the muzzle blast which bursts the balloons, not the bullet, but the speed,especially with a single action gun is still remarkable!

They are special ammo made to look like real ammo, but the bullet bursts after exiting the barrel, usually coal dust or sumat similar.
have you never tried real rapid fire in a comp,
5 targets which rotate, first round is 5 in 8 secs, then 5 in 6 secs & 5 in 4 secs,
Got 4 silver cups & a bronze medal for rapid fire.
There was a bloke named Ed McGivern who held the world record for a good number of years 5 bullets into a 1" circle at 15 feet in 4/10th of a sec, it happened so fast that the witnesses couldn't believe it, so he put a new target up and did it again.
He could also put a bullet thro a washer thrown up in the air, to prove it he stuck postage stamps over the hole in the washer.
I wonder how much ammo he used in practice.

Five in four seconds?
You must have used a fair bit of ammo in practice yourself!

While this guy is very fast, Guns are designed to do one thing and one thing only, KILL someone.
I fail to see the attraction here.

Aeroplanes were also designed to kill people, long before they carried passengers, just as not all planes are designed to kill, niether are guns, none of the guns, as you call them, I once owned ever killed any one.
Sounds like you've been brainwashed by the Blairites, and the mind fixers.

It won't play, you will need to click the You Tube link. But it is worth it.

Boeing Guy · 17-12-2011, 20:35

Aircraft were not invented to kill. Guns were, I have no political view on this.

I fail to see why you compare a instrument designed to carry people, goods etc around the world can be compared to firearms.

What uses other than putting a hole in something, a animal or a human do firearms have

Mankind has adapted aircraft to carry weapons, bombs and even Nuclear explosives, however a aircraft can and is used for some of the most humanitarian gestures on the planet.

The simple fact remains, a firearm only has one use, killing, maiming or putting a hole into something.

What do you mean, that we should call then Ice Cream Cones?

eh no, Aeroplanes were designed to fly, if we had not had the First World War then they would have not been used in warfare, but of course they we no good on their own, they needed Firearms, bombs etc fitting in order to bring death.

I will not continue to debate this as there is no need, any rational person can see guns do no good, after all 60% of all homicides are committed by firearms (according to the United Nations)

By their proper names, Muskets, Rifles, Pistols, Revolvers, etc, guns are smooth bore fire arms.
You are quoting the N.R.A. in america, its has nowt to do with the N.R.A. or N.S.R.A. of Gt Britain.
How many planes have been built to kill, compared with those designed to carry passengers.

According to Flight International in service today worldwide.

How many firearms have done humanitarian good?
You cannot win this discussion, weapons are primary designed to kill, end of.

:
Since avaiation took off there has been more aircraft built for warfare than for civilian use.
How many Spitfires Hurricanes, Blenhiems, Lancasters, Messerschmitts, Dorniers, Heinkels, Zero's etc, in just WW2 never mind all the other fights.
The first aircraft to carry more than one person were in WW1, first as Observers & Spotters, then when they started being shot at they armed themselves, first with shotguns, then with Rifles, and eventually Lewis, and Vickers Machine Guns.
As for Humanitarian use, ask a drowning sailor about line throwers, they are converted firearms.
You started it, by attacking one of my former hobbies.
