Guns!

So, one of the greatest things about having Tigers onboard is the chance to show off a little of our firepower...we did some shooting with the main battery and then moved on to the small arms.

While I love shooting any weapon, any time (my guys know that telling me we don't have the allowance to shoot is never the right answer), I had particular fun this time because I let myself get talked into showing how quickly we can go through ammo when the weapon is fully automatic.

They linked everything up at once and hand fed, just to really give a good show.

I always love the way the deck looks after a good gun shoot!

And my Tigers got to help clean the guns after the fact, which made everyone happy, including the Gunners!

OK, I'm dense. What's a Tiger? And after having spent a lot of my adult life in chemistry labs, isn't there some concern for spent shells creating a hazard underfoot in an actual combat situation? That might be the least of your worries, but it seems like an added hazard.

Same question, Tiger??
