Thread: RECOIL....your funny stories.

Yes, all sorts of fun in my time.

Spent a day blowing up trees with det cord in Belize. Used about 3000 metres of that then spent the rest of the day seeing how many full mags on auto from SA80s it took to drop trees from about two metres. Burned out about six barrels doing that. Another day I shot 4 boxes (3600) of 9mm from Browning pistols in an afternoon. Then there was a day of 800 81mm mortars, including an extended period at rate 6 (6 per minute) until barrel fires stopped play. Pretty good recoil from them. Finally, spent an afternoon in Kent shooting .338 LM sniper rifles out to 1200m. Big heavy things with moderators, so very little recoil. Glad I wasn’t paying for that lot.
