Hi Babysan. Welcome to The Firearms Forum!
Keep checking back.....we'll get that sucker fixed for you.
One of the ships I served on was a fleet tug out of Newport, RI. We had a whole bunch of .45 ball that was going outdated, so we either had to shoot it up, dump it over the side, or turn it in. The GunnersMate asked the Old Man if we could shoot it off while we were out to sea.
We broke out all the .45's on board.....8 M1911A1s and 3 Thompsons (2 M1s and a beee-yoooo-tiful M192 . We tossed a bunch of empty 1/2 pint milk cartons off the fantail and shot 'em bobbing in our wake.....what a glorious time!
We all had sore fingers from loading all those magazines......but it was sure worth it!
