I got to go shooting with the Assistant RSO the other day from the US embassy. What a blast! (pun intended). I got to fire fully automatic rifles. We fired a glock, an SMG, and an M4 rifle. Got to practice from various distances, firing positions, and moving at the targets.
The gentleman who took us is basically an expert with firearms. He did a great job of training all of us. I also got to meet one of the men who helps train the Kenyan police force. It was a thrill! Most people don't get to practice on a range where you have to stop shooting to let the Giraffes walk through.
The day was a lot of "guy" fun. I have a nice bruise on my right shoulder, but it was worth it. Kind of fun to have a purely "redneck" experience in Africa!

That is so cool! Was the machine gun hard to handle when you shot it? I would have thought that the sound would have put off the giraffes. Saying giraffes just sounds awkward like there should be some weird plural like a stalk of girrafe.
a man after my own heart...he said his shoulder was bruised so he wasn't holding it properly but they are still a rush to fire...are you guys packed yet
