H C M C - day 4 : A K 4 7 spree

Updated 13-06-06 by Em

I officially have bragging rights... heehee

Tere and I paid to shoot five bullets each out of an AK47 semi-automatic rifle.
You go down into a shallow bunker area with shooting targets way off in the distance. One of the guides gives you a pair of ear-muffs (please nb: they were not proper protective earmuffs, basically like you would wear as headphones) and loads the bullets.
Tere went first, when the rifle fires it is really loud! and you definitely feel the force of the gun jerk into your shoulder. The actual feeling of shooting a gun is NOT a pleasant experience, it feels very violent.
Neither of us hit any of the targets - if you do you can win free souveniers.
HOWEVER, the "official" guard said I was a better shot and came closer to hitting the targets.(yeeha - maybe I've found my true vocation on return to NZ?? not)
We were both relieved when it was over.
But as promised we did take a couple of "rambo inspired" shots for your entertainment.
