Chuck Steak Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Gotta spend a LOT of time in the gym before I'll be able to fire and maneuver with THAT semi-automatic assault rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 The rifle, the round, or the sucker that bought one because he thought it would be fun....which it ain't. I had a frat brother that bought one and we all went out to shoot it. I shot it....once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Big shop in Phoenix use to have these in the front window for sale with ammo back in the 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Checotah Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I remember as a youngster seeing 20mm anti tank guns for sale like that. I think the ones that I saw were Lahti guns but I think they fire the same round. I did get to shoot one of the Lahtis about10 years ago at one of the Hiram Maxim Machinegun shoots that were held in Dover-Foxcroft Maine. I didn't really notice the recoil because the gun was 136 lbs. and on bi-pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I had forgotten the Lahtis. They were huge suckers, but I never got to fire one. IIDC they were more expensive that the Boyes guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
