    Thats Kool. Were they blanks or a simunition? They didn't use live rounds. Did they?

    Here is a short video of them testing the guns - there was a slightly longer one but I haven't found it yet.

    That's got to be thrilling to see in action. Firing hundreds of blanks is expensive, but it must be a thrill to see and hear.

    For your information, simunition ammunition produces projectiles and I very much doubt that they would have wanted that around an airport or airshow for that matter... I dont believe they make simunition in 50 cal either. It is a cqb type training tool.

    Thats why I asked. I would have been amazed to see something like that at an airshow. Where there were no shots of impacts on a target I ruled it out. Still its very kool to see. I'd love to see a demo like that in person.

    man those casings and links make a mess.
