Some times I'm just lost for words.

I thought paintball was pushing the limits of sanity!!!

I used to do various sorts of shooting - small- and full-bore pistol, rifle & shotgun (but not any more) and I can see that doing that would be a load of fun.

However, their gun handling is terrifying! On British firing ranges anyone waving a gun around like that would be thrown out, after receiving a major bollocking.

Looks fun to me. In a controlled environment blah blah...

Agree with David though, some of the gun handlig is a bit

Ya gotta love those 'boys with their toys', but a bitch with PMT and a .50 calibre and a full box of ammo is real scary! Ooooo Mummy!

It scares me that I live on the same planet as these people...

I'm an avid shooter, what did you see as unsafe handling of the guns? Muzzles were always pointed up, at the ground, or pointed downrange.

Generally, assorted guns with closed breeches being pointed towards the camera, for a start... if I had been the cameraman, I would have been worried.

Agree, I used to be a Range Officer at my local gun club, a closed breach pointing anywhere other than downrange would have received a verbal warning. 2 of them and your out mate
That is a recognised pistol handling basic rule. Sadly, not an issue nowadays though.

Someone give me a big plane and a daisycutter, and I'll show them a big bang!
