This past weekend Jennifer, Lily and I had a quick getaway to spend some time at Jekyll Island, Georgia with our friends Mac and Katherine Barron (winners of the funniest Catholic podcast award). While there, Mac had the brilliant idea that he and I go find a firing range he heard about where we could shoot an automatic machine gun.

That’s right. A machine gun.

Having never shot such a weapon, we went off in search of Shooters of America, and this video is evidence of what transpired there. This experience definitely made me realize even more just how powerful these weapons are.

Watch the video and see for yourself.
