Recommended Posts

I ran into these today on my computer.....i shared them long ago, but just found my sons evolution with the gun so fun to watch

 

1st video is age 11, 1st time shooting a FA of any kind...watch his trigger finger shake at one point

2nd video is same day after he is used to it a bit

3rd video is recent age 14....he has it mastered--testing a new drum

at age 11 the gun was so heavy for him...its stock length doesnt work well for kids

 

now at age 14 he is 6'2" 230lbs...it fits him well....i still have to yell "LEAN'' to him every time he shoots though. you can see in the video he figures it out 1/2 way through the drum (Btw- that was a $250 Seymour drum we were testing!---good deals happen!)

 

I talked with the original owners Son(the guy who bought it right after the police dept)

he had similar stories shooting the gun with his dad in 1963. His Dad would patrol the trailer park he owned/ran at night with his Thompson
