Ah, I forgot the Marlin and AW50, thanks.

I didn't shoot the PSL in the end. I think I picked it up, and someone dragged me off somewhere before I got the chance, or the end of the detail was sounded.

Laptop's still playing silly buggers. Going to try again this weekend. There's only a few videos. I shot more things then I took videos of, but I'll upload them.

Off the top of my head, the stuff I remember shooting are;

AK47
AK74
SVT40
SKS
M1 Garand
M1 Carbine
Swedish Ljungman
M1903
Berthier

Commission M88
Yugo Mauser, forget the model, but I bayoneted a nazi-zombie with it... honest zzzzom :grin:
Finn Mosin Nagant
Springfield Trapdoor rifle
Springfield Trapdoor carbine
SiG carbine, forget the model, but it didn't have a buttstock, so you fired it like a Bolter from Warhammer 40,000
Mauser C96 carbine, not pistol, carbine. only made a few thousand of those things
M14 rifle
Judge revolver (.45LC and .410)
M1917 revolver
M1911 Colt pistol
Luger pistol
P38 Walther pistol
HiPoint .45 pistol
Makarov pistol
Tokarev pistol
Springfield Armoury, I think it was called an XDM, it was a double stacked .45ACP pistol. Beast of a thing
.357Mag revolver
.44Mag revolver
M1919 MG (full auto)
M4 carbine (full auto)
G36 carbine (full auto)
MP5 SMG/MP (full auto)

and... I think that's it, from the top of my head ;) However, I only have a few videos of some of the above.

No but he did shout out "For the Queen" as he stuck the Hun during his bayonet charge!
I thought that was quite proper.

Tower you should have down loaded those photos while you were here.

I mean come on boy, how hard is it to push a button?

I know. That's what I'm thinking.

USB connection's not working. Neither my PC nor my laptop are recognising the connection.

BlueTooth isn't connecting, nor is Kies Air.

Getting proper frakked off with this. I'm not this computer illiterate

Got one. I didn't know that you could only upload 2 videos to Flickr per month. For some reason Flickr is throwing a wobbly when I try to upload a second

Can you share videos from Facebook? I could upload them all to YouTube, but I'm not really feeling that if I can help it.

Anyway, here's the M1919 MG

I can see you had a very good time. You could always create a Youtube account and upload them that way, then you can embed them in your posts.

It looks like you had a real blast there Tower, as you found out no doubt, most Americans are just like anyone else in the world, they're good people when you get to know them.

People is people where ever you go it seems.

Everyone I met was friendly and they couldn't do enough to help me out or make me feel welcome. Great experience

I actually found that a lot of the people I met were a hell of a lot politer then their British counterpart. Maybe it's a culture thing. The Americans were happy to ask how my day was and talk openly to a random stranger, whereas the British seem to be rather closed to strangers and don't really seem to talk openly unless it's a "[Sigh] bloody train's late, again I see" type of situation
