Its kinda hard too, they fired it three times when we were there. There was a 3/8s of a seconded burst, 1/2 second burst and I don't remeber the length of the third one.

Considering the weapon fires at such a high volume, it was impossible for me to hear there different shots. It sounded kinda like a huge, mechanical fart.

The ground shock, nothing huge, but on the last two tests it set off car alarms.

From where we were standing we could feel the air displacment of the bullets (we were 20-30 feet away).

I think if I had to choose a gun that would kill me, that would be my number one slot.

Was this a static test firing?
