Some years back a mate of mine who has a large collection of military guns set up his Vickers machine gun on a farm of a friend of his and culled a hillside of goats.
Highly illegal to fire those guns, but by fuck it was a wicked sight.
Knocked dozens over in seconds and was quite a messy scene as the bullets went everywhere into them.
He went thru hundreds of 303 rounds in no time.
The Dream.
Is this the sequel to Black Sheep?

Similar thing in basic training. Officer decided we should have a yippee shoot. Gathered all the old Bren guns, M16's, AK47's and a couple of Uzi's. Picked up cases of ammo and off to the range.
During the shoot a flock of sheep wandered onto the range. We had a sudden order as to the elevation we were to shoot at. Result , one flock less in the Waiouru area.
Officer knew we could shoot and wanted those who only ever shot at paper targets to see what happened to a living breathing target.
As you said a real mess.

Ahhh. The old "flock of sheep wandering onto the Waiouru rifle range" story. At last hearing over 24 million sheep had died in this manner over the ATG's tenure of this facility.

Hell, that must have been some time ago. They wouldn't let us play with those when I was in.
Mind you, I remember wild horses and gimpies don't go together well either

1975/76 a very long time ago. OCTU intake. Bunch of 18 and 19 year old kiddies being trained by a lot of Vietnam vets. They didnt make it easy on us. Didnt help that the year before I joined up my old man had retired as WO1 161 bty, 16 Fld Reg. I made the mistake of joining his ex regiment.Hell, that must have been some time ago. They wouldn't let us play with those when I was in.

One person I remeber vividly was a young lad by the name of Andrew Martin. Doing his basic and already badged. Youngest ever recruit into 1 Ranger Sqn.
They used to let us take our SLR's out into the army blocks and hunt deer when we were confined to base.

Yup, I'll let you know why I had one hell of a time when I was in too, check your PMs.
The name Andrew Martin rings a bell. I think there is actually a mention on camp of him. On hell of a soldier I believe.

He finished up Colonel of NZSAS before he took retirement. Lives in Scotland now. Poor bastard had a real hard time as our drill instructor Sgt Bill James had only just reverted to the artillery. Vet of two tours in Vietnam with 1 Ranger Sqn.

Speedie, isnt there a term used for that sort of injury though. I know the part of the brain is called the Medulla Oblongata, but the injury where that occurs has a specific title doesnt it?

He was the All Blacks' manager too for a while after he retired from the Army.
