The last time I fired a machine gun was back in '72 in the AF. If you scored 90+ out of 100 qualifying with an M-16 you got to hang around and fire the "extra" weapons, like a .50 cal, a BAR, a Thomson .45, etc. That was a lot more fun than the qualifying. It's amazing how the adrenalin gets flowing.
I love the smell of cordite in the morning;...smells like...victory!
