tackleberry2000 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Got to make it out shooting this afternoon. Decided to take the beta for the 556 for fun. WHAT A BLAST!!! <thumbsup> the tip of my trigger finger was numb for an hour from working the trigger as fast as I could. Who else here has had the chance to dump a 100 rd drum??

392heminut Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Haven't got to do a Beta dump, but I once helped 2 other guys dump a case of 45 ACP through a Thompson M1928 on full auto as fast as we could keep the mags loaded! We were at an armorers class put on by the DoE at Kirtland AFB, and the gun belonged to the DoE. Rock & roll with a Thompson is a blast! <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackleberry2000 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I think I am jealous. The local gun shop got a semi auto tompson in according to a buddy of mine. Thinking of trading a couple guns off and the tompson would be a fun choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have done this a couple of times with the slide fire stock setup on Vera...Damn :auto: :auto: :auto: :auto: ! First time I just about had to clean my shorts ! 8)Second time I emptied the beta mag in less than 30 thirty seconds and was thinking this thrill cost too much. $50-$60 in a 1/2 minute not all that smart. But the beta mag is loaded right now with AP green tips and ready to go at a moments notice.BTW if you do it at a range you may want to ask the range officer first. <dontknow> :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tackleberry2000 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Its kinda tempting to get a slide fire and try it. Just in semi auto it tanned up the barrel from the heat.Nice pistol. Still have not gotten any pics to my computer to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT A BLAST!!! <thumbsup> the tip of my trigger finger was numb for an hour from working the trigger as fast as I could.

Those are fun, unless it's serious when you do it. <dontknow> ;DHe needs more SlideFire, doesn't he, Mike?... <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 With some SlideFire, those Betas would disappear MUCH quicklier. Yes - quick-lier.
