Here are a couple new videos of our Knob Creek field trip. Check out the Knob Creek Playlist on the Pretty Pistolera YouTube Channel to see the videos. There is a new video of the lower range and one of me shooting a Thompson.
John was so excited about the Thompson. He gave me the full history lesson. He explained its nickname is the "Chicago Typewriter" and it came out in 1928. He also told me it was the gun that Bonnie and Clyde used. I shot it, shrugged, and handed it back to him.
John: Great, huh?
Me: I didn't really care for it.
John: Are you kidding? You didn't like THE THOMPSON?
Me: Not so much.
John: Hmph, it was good enough for Bonnie.
Still to come... videos of me shooting a Browning 1919, HK MP5 PDW, M4 Carbine, M60, and an M249 SAW. Also to come, videos of our nephew Luke at Knob Creek. He was one happy kid last weekend. Stay tuned...
Bonnie actually had a custom cut down BAR in .30-06. She was described as "an artist" by one of the feds who she sot at with it.

I seriously enjoyed the FNC that Jim brought to the Gunbloggers Rendezvous - my first time shooting full-auto and it was a real trip.

Thompsons are a hoot to fire. Actually, Bonnie and Clyde preferred the BAR.
