Ah, the good old days, when labor was cheap and expendable

My grandpa did train maintenance after he was discharged from the seabees at the close of dubya dubya 2, it was the only job he could get at the time.
He and grandma and my mom lived in an old caboose near the Tucson trainyard for six months before they could save enough $$$ to pull up stakes and head back home.

They were some tough people back then.

Um, I think you may be doing it wrong.

No clip in the gun?

Jane Kilcher got scoped on Alaska, the last frontier at around the 1 minute mark and she wasn't doing it anywhere near as badly as the girl in the pic above. Looked like it hurt.

A friend of mine was given one of these recently, but in Grabber Blue; his ex-stepdad was moving and didn't want to take it with him.

we went LR shooting in Norway,
was plinking out to 900yds with my 308 Winchester, when one of the Norwegians whips out a Barret .50 bolt gun.. "wanna have a try"

I had a go, couldn't really find good eyebox , but figured, hell, it's a rock face, who cares if i hit anything. squeezed one off, the muzzle blast blew all the 9mm cases up and everybody got peppered with brass.. my Friend has go as well..All good fun

Norwegian goes. now want a go without the muzzlebreak, i'll put on the silencer.

Screws on a can bigger diameter then my arm and when I shot it.. the thing pushed me back on the shooting mat for at least a foot... Good thing i had shouldered it well.

My bud's turn.. and was a TR rifle shooter. you know leather vest, full zen relaxed shooting..he positions behind the thing.. I see him try to find the good eyebox and settles his breathing..
Dude was so relaxed, the gun went off and whacked him like a seal hunter beating a seal puppy on the ice. No mercy, blood gushing out of his nose and eyebrow !!

Norwegians giggling.. "HAH !You got the Barret Mark, you're a real man now"

Payback came later that evening around the campfire in the form of Belgian triple abbey beer.. That was a good trip..

This was our firing point, there are steel plates out to 1850 meters.
It was hard just finding the plates never ming hitting
No wind flags
barely any vegetation
turbulent wind amongst the rocks

With the "Before" and "After" pics of B 17s The "Before" pic was a flying test bed for the P&W T34 turboprop.
Her number later was supposed to be 44-85734. Is that Liberty Belle in the second photo?

Well, no wonder. The butt of the rifle wasn't up against her shoulder, it was laying on the ground under her. She's lucky it wasn't worse.
