Yes! In an enclosed single lane range eek The instructor had to 'pop' his ears after each round because of the pressure of the sound wave! I have a vid but need to upload to YT.

Such an epic weapon and I'm proud to say I managed to put an entire clip through the same hole smile

Cue powerfully built company director pose (needless to say I shot prone not from the hip! hehe ):



My wife's hand (honest) for a comparison of the round size!

Although don't bother if the weather is even slightly overcast, let alone raining, the locals all stay at home.

It is actually amusing to be in Vegas when it rains, anything more than a light shower and the emergency broadcast system on the hotel room TV kicks in and tells you not to drive into any puddles as you will be swept away and drown.

My son and I went to the Grand Canyon with Maverick helicopters a few years ago. Recommend them and flying back over the strip was great

I did a Vegas trip a couple of years ago.

Stayed at the Aria, was very good.

Take a trip out to the Hoover Dam.

We drove out to the Grand Canyon, and stayed a couple of nights just outside the national park. Took a ride with Papillon helicopters from Grand Canyon airport - much better value for money, as you spend most of the flight actually in/over the canyon, rather than in transit to/from Vegas.

Also went to Lake Powell, which was very cool (rent a speedboat and explore the gorges).

We had a couple of nights at the Red Feather Lodge. Whilst not luxurious, it is convenient and cheap. Staying actually in the park is more expensive, very limited availability, but cool too. I have had one night in the park, we were about 20 feet from the canyon side, in accommodation that was "rustic".

Strangely I've never done shooting in vegas... I have a few friends there with guns that have invited me out to the dessert to shot, but somehow never have.

How is the kick on that thing??
