Great GUN VERY POOR video!

Try this short one to actually HEAR the weapons report!



And this one has some superb A10 Images and a thumping track from AC/DC!

Even that one doesn't sound true XP it's missing that 'Chain' sound you can just hear it at the end of the half second burst.. but you are Sploosh they are awsome!!

You could hear them on the ranges when we were kids at home - funny I ended up instructing on them :))

The sound is a combination of the massed reports of the cartridges and the air moving around the spinning barrels, the aircraft in my first video is tethered so will unfortunately not sound quite like the FARTING sound we are familiar with! ;)



Lovely WEAPONS EFFECTS shots in the second one! :ymapplause:

I wondered what that strange lump is on the front of your MX5. Admit it, you purloined one, didn't you? ;)























Sorry, just realised what that strange lump was when I last saw your car.........SM. :D
