What an awesome ride!

Thanks for sharing. The Gatling gun would be a hoot. What caliber was it?

We shot the Thompson as well, great fun. My son also shot a spike driver, which is a lever action rifle chambered in .500 sw.

I believe this one was a .45.

That gun shop is a great place to go if any of you are in the area. Really nice and very knowledgeable guys working there. They give you a history lesson on each firearm that you shoot. Interesting fact about the Thompson I didn’t know was that the first government agency to use it was the post office, he said it was how they deterred the train robberies. LOL

I went to that gun shop two years ago, what a great way to spend a couple hours playing with guns that you couldn’t normally get your hands on. Unfortunately my CFO (wife) only allowed me to stay for a short period of time, as she knew I would blow the family fortune on their range. 😎
