    Default Tank Rifle

    Fun video I found while surfing the unfair lanes of the unbroken but needs fixing internet superhighway...

    Think the magazine is Colorado compliant?

    Kewl! Never seen one of those fired before, but I've seen one in person in a museum. Talk about hard to find ammo! I don't think that's regular 20mm cannon ammo either. Guy must have some kinda hardon against Apple products.....

    Ya, kinda winced on shooting the Mac and let out an ooooowwwww on the $40-60 per shot.... but it was his money. Way cool, with that consideration.

    Why wouldn't he shoot something worthwhile like a dozen steel plates stacked up "box-o-truth" style? A .22LR can shoot through an iMac... So that's just a waste of an iMac. I want to see the real power of that thing!

    Good ole Lahti 20mm. I transferred one for a customer about ten years ago, and they are huge, heavy beasts. They can use lightly modified US 20mm projectiles turned down on a lathe to fit the necks of the original Finnish cases. Most owners also make or have made their own new brass cases machined (rather than drawn down) from brass round stock, and cast or machine their own projectiles, too, since even US 20mm projectiles are relatively hard to come by.

    Waste of a perfectly good iMac IMO but it was nice shooting with iron sights and the really old ammo. Should have used it against a more appropriate target like a Prius or a Hitlermobile -- or at least a Surface tablet ...
