Can you imagine how much a barrel full of those would weigh? Amazing it didn't burst. I know they can only go about a third full with mercury before that happens.

A couple of tons at least would be my guess. 7000 grains per pound but I don't know how many bullets per gallon so just a wild guess.
Not at my range, Nashua Fish and Game Association. Can't use images of anyone.
I have a bunch of "Zombie Osama" targets. Not sure I could use those....

Perhaps it wasn't completely full. I can't feature a pickup even making it to the freeway with that much of a load.

You would be amazed how much you can overload pickups. I bet I had at least 3000 pounds in a little Datsun pickup once.

Which to me is a bunch of crap. If you're training for personal defense, you need silhouette targets.
Those "cold range" places get on my nerves too. I mean Jesus Christ. A chambered gun is perfectly safe when holstered.

3 is OK in some situations but if you are carrying, then its stupid. 2 most of the time.

Last rifle range I went to insisted chambering one round at a time for semiautos. Was hard sighting in to say the least.

And to think I thought I had messed up by forgetting my stripper clips going in. Range master nearly went hot while my friend was still returning from the 300 yard line!Did they have too manys blazing away and burning up barrels like Rambo?

I ran a route where the first pickup was a couple of hundred cartons of paper you had to load all the way in the front of a P1000 because you would be 100% full by the end of pickups. No power steering and you could hardly turn that pig with all that weight in the front.

I made some estimates and came out with about 1000 pounds per gallon, so a WAG would make a full barrel around 5500 pounds. Too damn much.

Can't stay I'd've stuck around very long at that one.
That's why I can't get over the fact that that's how the military trained when they issued the 1911, including foreign militaries that still issue SAO sidearms. I understand the goal was to make the safety more idiot-proof, but it doesn't say much for your training if that's the shortcut you take.
