I do not have ducks. I do not have a row. I have squirrels and they are all at a rave.

Whoever spent $90k to win the auction will at some point give into temptation and take it to a range. I can't see it ending well..  scared2:

OK youtube is playing games again. I can select and watch the video from my history but not from the link?  rubschin:

It was a video about this thing, an experimental prototype 30.06 upgrade to the Thompson because someone decided the Tommy gun wasn't intimidating enough  eeek:



https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/4096/1356/prototype-3006-thompson-class-iiinfa-cr-machine-gun

It's a curious bit of history with some interesting engineering but as it is I'm fairly certain it would explode after the first couple of rounds.
