    Something about hearing that report echo across the Arizona desert after you’ve stopped firing makes my heart sing

    My bru, that Rhodesian/South African accent at the beginning was wild. Especially when it starts to sound a bit Australian 😂

    tell someone who doesn't know about this that you have a belt fed mag, the utter confusion on their face will be priceless.
  • With all the Rhodesia stuff you would love to meet my fiance's father. The guy has the most insane stories imaginable. He even wrote a book about one of them. He was born in Rhodesia, fought in the Bush War and still owns a large hunting safari in Africa. He's a good dude.
