OT: Spitfire guns firing after 70 years buried in peat

Yes good old American Browning machine guns, take a beating keep on ticking..LOL..

John M Browning designed many of the machine guns used in the world..

Including those supplied and licensed for the Brits during the war..
doesn't surprise me that they would work..

Heck the m2 (Maw Deuce)( Browning designed) still is the main .50 cal gun MG used by modern armed forces today..
same ones my father and grandfather and I used in the Army..

As a gunsmith I learned a great deal about John M Browning..
And his American designed MG's are still are a marvel..

Not be surprised to see these shoot even after 70 years buried..
 
That would be interesting to hear I agree.. I doubt if the old .303 rounds would have the deep sound the .50 cals have..
Most likely sound like a bad running Singer sewing machine..With the old .303 rounds..:icon_lol:

Ha ha Owen!

I've read that the eight .303's sounded like 'The sound of ripping calico', there was a discussion about it here once which led to the eight gun sound we have in the ETO and BoB installs.
