Here's one I shouldn't share. I was a helicopter crew chief in the service. An arial gunnery instructor. I was training in Yuma, AZ. We were flying along the range shooting at stationary targets, then my pilot calls out "troops in the open at 2 o'clock". That just means firing in a sweeping motion with the XM-218 .50 cal machine gun. So I did, then I saw some wild burrows, and I shot one to pieces. I couldn't stop my self. It was just pink mist. My only military casualty.

You can adjust the buffer to fire as fast as you want. My barrel was always glowing.

Guess I was fortunate.
