Yup, I can see it happening, thousands might not but I do.

if only I had the cash!!!

You'd need lots just to approach at Big Sandy, you'd go through a mortgage worth just at the range...then you'd need a truck to mount it for range work.

Actually, it’s very inexpensive to go and watch. Really worth the small admittance fee, plus they have free campsites, reasonable dinner, small swap meet/gun show, and even a chance to shoot many of the guns that are there. THAT will cost you, though! Ammo for these bad boys don’t come cheap!

My thought on the whole Ball Turrent resurection....?

Hell Yeah! Would love to have one!!

[CINDERS]

Well I guess we may still go and be selective in shooting if I told you what it cost me last year to hire that Lamboghini Aventador for an hour in US Greenbacks you would have me certified as a lunatic mind you it was a $1.6 million dollar car it was a 3 figuire sum that was not that shy of a 4 figure sum...........not that I will be doing it again but I can say where others may not I have driven one albiet only to 160klm/Hr but it got there quickly.

Having a quad .50 on a half-track or gun truck is awesome, this IMO is in that same group of awesome.

Those would be wonderful...even in current service they would have their uses, in this last great conflagration they would have shown merit.
