He pulled him over because all the tires are flat…
Ba-dum tssssssh !
The damage, i.e. wear and tear, he’s inflicting on those tracks is probably going to ruin them … but I guess he must have money to blow, so no big deal.
It surely isn’t the machine gun. One of the neighborhood kids had one that we played with. It was set up on the edge of our foxhole we had dug in our backyard. One of the other kids in the neighborhood had a drag chute that we rigged up as a cover for our foxhole.
Now standing to be corrected, BUT, gun appears to be a Browning .50 M2
Look at the ammo box, too small to be a 50 caliber ammo can. I have seen and have shot 30 cals that had that two handed grip.
It’s an M2, the M1919 .30 doesn’t have the front sight hood like a .50 does.
As a former tank unit armorer, I’ve shot a few M2’s.
I was an MP and we had both M2s and M1919s mounted on our Ford jeeps.
Yup. M-2. That pipe mount would be a bit whippy.
Nope, it’s a 50 cal. you can see the buffer in between the trigger handles. and it is irrelevant what ammo can he has on it.
The cop has offered both a place for shooting and a connection for ammo. The guys are clearing their weekend schedules and talking logistics.
