Knob Creek (Kentucky) Gun Show - April 2006

This is a really fun event, which I think many of the milsurp collectors here would enjoy. Besides the huge display tents with vendors selling everything and anything related to firearms, there's the massive range shoot. Attendees can pay (rent) to shoot everything from old Gatling guns, WW1 Lewis machine guns, WWII 30 and 50 caliber Browning MG's, German MG34 and MG42's, every automatic rifle you can think of, all the way through to flame throwers and artillery pieces.

Can you imagine crossing Omaha Beach against German MG42's? After you watch this, you can see that the special effects in the first 20 minutes of the move "Saving Private Ryan" aren't far off what must have been the real thing. In the pics below, I think that can of WD40 hanging off the WW1 Vickers was even dated 1917.
