In October, West Point, Ky., hosted 12,000 visitors for the weekend Knob Creek Gun Range Machine Gun Shoot, billed as the nation's largest, with a separate competition for flame-throwers. Especially coveted is "The Line," where 60 people (waiting list is 10 years long to be admitted) get to fire their machine guns into a field of cars and boats, and during which a shooter might run through $10,000 in ammunition. Among the champions: Samantha Sawyer, 16, the top women's submachine gunner for the last four years. One man interviewed by the Louisville Courier-Journal said he met his wife at a previous Shoot, knowing that "if she could accept flame-throwing as a hobby, she could accept anything." Said another: "This is one of those times when you know this (the U.S.) is the greatest place on Earth." [Courier-Journal, 10-19-03]

Or, perhaps, the most bizarre....

Lol, wow I would have never known...
Sounds kinda fun though, blowing up all those vehicles/boats. They take the necessary precautions I assume.

A little off topic, but along the lines of big booms:

I've always wanted to assist a pyrotechnician! You know, be the one that pushes the buttons...

What was that movie where this guy has to walk around with a flamethrower attached to his back? Wind Talkers. Good movie. Had a whole new respect for those things after that movie.
