Well, Bill's probably still waiting for the page to open ;-)  But that should make him twitchy, all right.

Eric - given that the park is in North Carolina and NC does not allow private citizens to own machineguns, those are deacs, dummys, or semi-autos.  From what I know of the market, I'm guessing many, but not all of them, are semi-autos.

JTG, that there is a DShK 12.7mm, Model of 38/46 I believe....

Damn you, JTG.  You know me too well.

Дегтярёва-Шпагина Крупнокалиберный, or Degtyaryova-Shpagina Krupnokaliberny, or, to forstall any further whinyness on your part...  'Degtyaryov-Shpagin Large-Calibre'

Yep, the guy who gave us the Degtyarev-series of LMGs teamed up with the guy who gave us the PPSh-41 and produced this thing.

*Not* pointed at me = not twitchy.

But my index finger cotracted a bit to make the radio call...

First one I've seen up close that was still upright with the ammo can attached.

Heh. First one I've seen up close that still had  living people around it, too.
