Good luck!! remember... don't use too many rev's or drop the clutch too fast!

At least i have you beat when it comes to caliber then lazs even if you have fired more rounds

that is really good advise furball! just today I was practicing and I had the revs up too high and let out the clutch too fast... fortunately the tires just spun for a couple hundred feet and I didn't stall it.

nilsen... probly... I havent fired many big guns except I did get to help fire a cannon once that shot a 4 lb ball. some of the guys were shooting cement filled soda cans too.

and about the amount of rounds.... I think I fired about 300 just today.

Cannons are not that much fun actually so you havent missed out on anything imo.

Lazs,

how do you like the Mitchells Mauser? They told me they would shoot 1 degree groups.. they worth it over some of the cheaper ones?

1 degree groups

Probably meant 1 minute of angle groups, approximates to 1 inch at 100 yards. Very good accuracy for a surplus main battle rifle, fairly crappy for a precision rifle.

Hey Monk, what unit/company are you with? I'd be interested in your opinions regarding the G36 as well, especially with regards to its "uberness".

I have fired an 84mm shoulder arm.

You have me beat by 44 mm then (unless you count surface to air missiles)

Ya MOA...

Not bad for a 300 dollar surplus rifle in new condition. wasn't sure if the salesman was being honest though.

Largest I've ever launched was a TOW2, about 130mm maybe? But that a guided missle not a gun... does a 25 mm chain gun count? or 120mm cannon?

well... I couldn't do that at 50 yards today with the mauser and surplus ammo... well... I guess about inch and a half maybe... good enough for open sights... I'm no rifle shot. I think the Garrand is a little better with surplus ammo.

I don't see why the mauser wouldn't shoot an inch with a good scope tho. Seems as well made as any german one I've seen and a hell of a lot better than most.

you guys win on the big guns tho... I couldn't afford to shoot any of those even if they were legal. you should try a 458 win mag or a 340pd...

sorta like the difference between going 400 in an airliner and going 60 in an ultralight I would imagine. I doubt any of them things kick any more than the 458 or pd.
