VIDEO: Happy Fourth of July... now let's blow up some cars!
Click above to watch video after the jump
If you're a big fan of fully automatic machine guns, then there is a good chance that you've heard of the Oklahoma Full Auto Shoot & Trade Show. The O.F.A.S.T.S. trade show features some serious hardware for purchase, including WWII anti-tank guns and Russian units used buy the bad guys in Afghanistan.
G4 contributor Alison Haislip of Attack of the Show attended the gathering to test out some guns, and she brought a tan Dodge Intrepid along for a little target practice. Hit the jump to watch Haislip rip the hapless sedan to shreds with a Browning 1917 machine gun capable of shooting 750 8-mm rounds per minute. We normally don't get too excited about tank-stopping machine guns, but as we're jonesin' to kick off the Fourth of July festivities, well... we'll start off with an altogether different sort of pyrotechnics. Thanks for the tip, Kelly!

As Redneck as that is, it looks like a ton of fun, and I'm from California. Wouldn't bring my kids to it though.

I'm not a redneck and I think it looks pretty cool!
I can't imagine the expense of attending though! WOW It's like going to a casino.... Pull the trigger and you lose .25 to $25... over and over... lol
not in my budget rofl

That's the best use of a Dodge Intrepid that I've ever seen.

I know where you can do this AND get paid to do it! However... the targets often shoot back.

"It's a family event"
This is the kind of event that makes the rest of the world think Americans are redneck gun-obsessed sickos.

I'm sure all that is 'fun', but it's also pretty wasteful considering the cost of the guns and the ammo. At least when you're hunting, you can come back with something to eat. All they're doing is destroying stuff and not getting any value back from doing it.

hey there Ultimo,
I do this sort of thing every once in awhile (and I'm no redneck lol). I understand what you are saying but all of that is out of pocket of the individual. 9/10 full auto shoots donate their entrance fees to a charity. In the end there is some stimulation of the economy through the purchase of food, ammo, supplies, etc.. and tens of thousands of dollars raised for a charity.
oh and yeah, its hella fun :-)

I'd hardly call this wasteful.The guns are around,so you might as well use them in a responsible manner.Anyways,you go hunting with a minigun or an anti-tank gun you won't be going home with much meat.
