Video of Shooting the Thompson Machine Gun at Knob Creek's Annual Machine Gun Shoot

Have you ever wanted to experience the thrill of shooting the Thompson Machine Gun?  Do you think you could hit anything at all from 25-30 yards with this thing?  After shooting about 150 rounds through it, I am not entirely sure if I ever hit a damn thing.  Nevertheless, I still think about it every day. It was a great experience and the gun shot surprisingly smooth.  It seemed to jam a lot, but it was also hot and dirty from being constantly shot by most of the men and women in attendance, because of it's popularity.  If you ever get a chance to visit the Louisville, KY area in April or October, the Knob Creek show is a must stop. But get there early, you don't want to have to park too far from the action, as the parking lot can get pretty messy if there is significant rain.   Enjoy this footage:
