Now THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!

And just think, new life for all those Kodak slide projectors gathering dust in attics everywhere.

And you think flying is expensive? Add up the cost of an hour's worth of ammo for that thing! Ouch!!!

It's .22LR, wouldn't be that much.

But can he sign his name in a target with it?

Let's set the rate of fire at 600 rpm (about right for an M-60 MG, so this ought to be at least as fast). Last time I bought .22LR, a 500 round brick was about $8.50 (that was a LONG time ago). So, let's say it's now $10.00. That's $10/minute or $600/hr. Thanks, I'll stick with the C-182.

The Federal cheap .22LR is $235 for 5000rd case. So, $28 for 600rd.

Told you I hadn't bought any in a long time. That runs the cost up to $1680 per hour. Ouch!

And that's just for the ammo. Just imagine the cost of replaciong the melted barrel every 10 minutes!

I deliberately left that out of the calculations.
