Stopping the dreaded watermelon insurgency

Ah yes, everybody's favorite Russian. Thanks for posting that.

Two things:

1. He notes that the "Ma Deuce" has been around since World War Two. That's true of the M2 version, however the original M1921 was developed in, well... It was designed for the same purpose as the original Oerlikon 20mm, to be an anti-tank weapon, at least back when a tanks "armor" was an inch or so of standardized steel.

2. He notes that it fires 650 rounds per minute. This is true, but when you're actually shooting one it feels like it's firing at about 1/10 that fast. It feels, in fact, very much like the slow-motion scenes in his video. Odd, that, but there it is.

WTF?!

Where's this guy get his hardware? Driving an APC with a Ma duece strapped on it through a drive through?!

Sailor Steve · 12-01-11, 05:52 PM

He's been linked here before. Check out his minigun video, or his flak gun video. Fun stuff.

I'm pondering what that APC is...it looks like a BRDM type of sorts.

I like watching his videos, but I usually turn the sound down as he is a bit of a jerk.

Jimbuna · 12-02-11, 09:10 AM

He missed one of the melons

MH · 12-02-11, 09:20 AM

With this gun it would be much more fun to shoot melons at few hundred meters away.

SgtPotato · 12-02-11, 09:51 AM

The real reason why he make these kind of videos is because of he playing too much Call of Duty.

Sailor Steve · 12-02-11, 12:35 PM

Nah. Why play a game when you can do it for real?

Ducimus · 12-02-11, 12:46 PM

Watching his video's, two things are for sure.

a.) he's got access to lots and lots of money
b.) he's got connections.

Blood_splat · 12-02-11, 01:04 PM

He's not really Russian.

Aha...that looks more like it...quite similar in design though isn't it? Wonder if it was inspired by the BRDM-1.
