Guns, guns, guns!
Looks like fun, doesn't it?
Well, rocking and rolling on full auto is a lot of fun.
"we felt the women had been ignored"
"I, I like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my hands"
(Aaahhh.)
"you know, I, I like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my
hands"
"you know, I, I like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my
hands" (Aaahhh)
"You know, I, I like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my
hands"
"the feeling of, of the machine gun in my hands" (here we go, 30
rounds"
"the women had been ignored"
"I like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my hands"
(Aaahhh)
"got to be an addiction!"
"you know, I, I like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my
hands ... got to be an addiction with me!" (Aaahhhh... nothin' like it!)
Hey, beautiful, beautiful! Last one got 'em!
"30 rounds in one and a half seconds! Real firepower....."
"we felt the women had been ignored ... they'd been kept ignorant
and, uh, afraid of firearms, when they're no more difficult to operate than
a household appliance"
Hi! I'm Candy Jo, and I'm shooting the Ingram M-10, or the Mac-10!
GUNS.
This gun is one of the most well-known machine guns in the world,
(GUNS.) not only because it has been featured in numerous Hollywood movies,
(GUNS.) but also because it has derived underworld popularity. (GUNS.)
The Mac-10 is the weapon of choice because of its concealability. (GUNS.)
With this gun, even I could stop most of the bad guys out there.
GUNS.
As you can see, this gun is really fast! (GUNS.) It fires a 9
millimeter round at a rate of 1200 rounds per minute! (GUNS.) That's, like,
20 shots per second! (GUNS.)
Not only that, it weighs just six and a quarter pounds, and it's
only ten and a half inches long. (GUNS.)
Hello, my name is Julie, and this is the M-16. (GUNS.)
I'm shooting the MPK submachine gun. It's made in Germany, (GUNS.)
The MP stands for Machine Pistol. (THIS is a real gun.) This gun fires a 9
millimeter cartridge at a rate of 550 rounds per minute. (GUNS.) That's
close to 10 rounds per second! ("they're no more difficult to operate than
a household appliance")
What surprises me is how easy this gun is to handle. (GUNS.) I
guess that's what makes it so much fun! (GUNS.)
The barrel on the MPK is six inches long, and I'm shooting it with
a 30-round magazine. (GUNS.) It weighs just six and a half pounds, (GUNS.)
and has a clever folding wire stock. (GUNS.) Those Germans really know how
to make a machine gun! (GUNS.)
Now THIS is a real gun. Not one of those wimpy submachine guns.
I mean, I've never fired a gun before in my life! (GUNS.) But let
me tell you, once I got that machine gun in my hands, there was no stopping
me! (GUNS.) It's a blast! I love it! (What a blast!)
It's a blast!
It's a blast!
It's a blast! ("Whew, THAT was a blast...")
"Well, we started out telling a little history, y'know, with a
little music like 'Annie get Your Gun' and a pioneer-dressed woman... and
the story line developing through the, um, the dance hall girl who had
to... protect herself in various ways... all of these having various
concealed firearms... then into the contemporary business woman in a
business suit... uh, the recreational woman... a police officer... (we know
criminals will always get guns) the, uh, security guard... and finishing
("That's enough overdramatics. Give me that gun before someone gets hurt.
Stand by...")
with, uh, the beach woman clad in a bikini." ("Stand by...")
"Okay, alright, stop right there. ("Stand by...")
Where do you conceal the gun in a bikini?"
("Stand by...")
But what do you expect? This is my first time ever firin' a gun,
(Yeah!) much less a machine gun! (Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!) (GUNS. GUNS.)
Hi there! My name is Lisa, and this is the H & K G-3. (This is
fun!) The G-3 fires a 716 round at 550 rounds per minute. (GUNS.) This gun
really packs a punch! Wow! (Lot of kick to that, I'll tell ya)
"As demonstrated in the fashion show, even when the firearm was,
