Description
I've been admiring some genuine WW1/WW2 and Vietnam war artefacts today, and I thought you guys might like a look. Firing the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge, she fired 500–650 rounds per minute and had an effective firing range of 1,100 metres.

I'm old enough to remember this weapon and even fired it. There's a fine art to hitting a moving target while you yourself are in motion. It took a special breed of man to be a door gunner, most of the ones I recall were just Bat Sh!t crazy. Door gunners had a very short life expectancy in the Theater. Semper Fi Pete

Excellent, you see these in many films now.. Shame they don't make some about 'our' part in other wars.. (By our I mean Commonwealth). Korea, Vietnam, Bush Wars etc.. And of course, The Falklands, no films about that at all! I know my history, I know where and what your guys did in various conflicts.. So, show more please, good shot. Rob
