If my memory is correct from demolition school, Detonation cord "burns" at 26,000 feet per second...yea that's fast

Pretty cool. They must be using one hell of a camera to catch all that.

That tree just fills my heart with the joy of Christmas every time you post it :)

I nominate it to be the official Gunsnet Christmas tree....let the tradition begin !

The tree was cool, but the slow motion sequences during the opening were what really caught my eye.

That would look even better if that tree had a variety of different crates of ammo under it.:2cents:

Actually spent more time making sure I didn't scratch anything getting them to stand like that than I did worrying about the setting. Agree boxes and single rounds scattered about would have been nice.

Just checked, I took that picture 6 years ago!

Damn, that was a nice tree!

Aknut, Maybe you should update it slightly. :)

Might have to make a new tree. Maybe with a TIGR as the main stalk, and this time keep track of what rifle is where! And a smattering of ammo and mags under the "tree".

I'll think about it a while and see what comes together. :D

The biggest problem is that most of them are safe queens, and are in the back of the safe. That long barrel Poly Tech AKS-223 is so buried I honestly think it would take a week to get it out safely! :smiley31:

yea nut! you probably got a 50 gun safe and have 300 guns packed into it with 10,000 rds of ammo in the corner of you kitchen.. get a bigger safe! like a walk in that would be nice. then you could hang every thing you have in a temp control room.... lol

Don't laugh, but I have looked into converting half my basement into a "safe room" so that I could hang some of my nicer prizes on the walls and better enjoy them. Money is the only thing stopping me as I found that the door alone, delivered and installed would run a little over $10K.

So I will put up with the 50 gun safe stuffed with 300 guns and other items. And that is just the safe "in the corner of the kitchen"! :smiley31:
