Well was it 6 shots or only 5 ? well

I respect your thoroughness, and would have done the same under the circumstances.

Sorry, ma. Gotta lay this one at the instructors now deceased feet....always stand behind the firing line. Had he followed that, the 30 rounds would have been spent when the barrel went vertical.

Now for the funny...the joint is called the “Last Stop”...it’s the ONLY stop between Boulder Dam, and Kingman, AZ. And there is a public airstrip 100 yards down range of the machine gun berms;-)

Green Flag!

I see. Thanks for the information.

So, what was a 9 year old girl doing in a bar ?

(and don’t say ‘shooting a machine gun’)

[UCANSEE2]

Maybe for the instructor

I know, I just found the statement odd, not specifying whom they were testing. Usually it's the person shooting the weapon.

Of course, the whole thing is 'odd' being that it happened in a 'bar'.

Luckily the airstrip (AZ50) is “Prior Permission Required”

Hopefully landing permission comes with a gun range warning...:^)

Sloppy, unprofessional work leads to tragic accidents like this one.

I have fired the M-16 both long and short, Galil, Uzi courtesy of Uncle Moses and even M-1 Carbine!

A healthy-minded instructor and facility would NOT let this have happened. It is both foolish and tragic.

This is an incredibly sad story. Today I attended SSG Vacca's funeral and witnessed first hand the grief his family is experiencing. It was an incredibly sad day for his wife and kids and ranks as one of the saddest affairs I have attended. http://www.socalpgr.org/pgr/index.php?topic=710.0
