For anyone interested, the History Channel's "Mail Call" segment on Jan. 3 is running their special on the Knob Creek Gun Range.

This is a machinegun shoot that's been held at a former military range for years and is quite interesting for those of us interested in brute displays of firepower.

Info:

Knob Creek Gun Range: #90.
Airs on Tuesday, January 3 at 8:00pm ET


Host R. Lee Ermey heads to Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky, outside of Fort Knox, for the Knob Creek Shoot, a weekend when machine-gun owners and collectors converge for unbridled mayhem. At this former military-munitions test range....

... Then, it's the night shoot, when you really get to see raw power as machine guns shoot tracers and fire at targets filled with diesel fuel and dynamite, incinerating cars, refrigerators, and oil drums. TVPG L

There was a link on on of the gun boards to that whole show. It is worth watching. The R. Lee looks to have had some fun. One day I hope to make the trip to knob creek. :drool:
