all right guys today we have a fun one because we have a tommy gun and when it
has a full auto switch it is even more fun now i brought my buddy jack here he's a law
enforcement officer how long have you been uh going on 15 years, 15 years, and he teaches a
lot i mean that's the main thing right now i'm a full-time instructor i worked patrol
swat cid that kind of stuff so now i'm a full-time instructor at a regional training academy right
and so we started training together and also starting our own little thing we do some side
lessons and stuff so if you want to be a part to some come shoot with us at east texas marksmanship
just sign up for my email list over at topshotdustin.com and yes i bring fun
guns like this and we play around because i can't just shoot and be bored and play around so today
to start off with this tommy gun this is 1928 a1 model and uh jack's like let's run through
some machine sub gun qualifications right sub gun qualification course and so how far do we start
uh 15 yards 15 yards yep so it's a maximum of 30 rounds we'll go from 15 to 10 to five there'll be
one time to reload in there so i hope you've been practicing uh and then there's time hacks for each
yardage time hacks we'll see if you can qualify with the sub gun okay subgun qual here we go i
did something 10 years ago with the fbi with their mp10 i think it's around that type of thing yeah
it's vaguely similar of course but not with that hundred year old tommy guy with 100 year old timer
i mean if this is 1928 model it was around for a while nope and we're gonna run it cold
too practice no nothing so let's shut up and shoot i'm running the suppressor this is that
bushwacker from griffin armament and just because they made this awesome mount that fits on the cuts
compensator and it's just too cool not to use you kind of think of sacrilegious man tommy gun should
be everybody should be able to hear you shooting a toddler we'll get noisy later all right so run
me through i know you're gonna fire five rounds in the semi-auto configuration got it five rounds
all five rounds to the head in the face in the face you got it 10 seconds all right oh we didn't
bring the timer out but i think we'll be okay all right shooter ready ready stand by go and
it's a little right that was like four seconds but yeah okay
all right all right from the 10 yard line you're gonna fire five rounds in three two three round
bursts five rounds and two so like two bursts but correct two or three no more than five
flipping the fun to the center mass of the target okay shooter ready yep stand by go safety
i think i had two two one yeah i think that was yeah okay two three four five six yeah close
enough we'll call it square all right so now ten rounds five rounds reload five rounds from here
this is your time to reload yes okay so we'll just pretend it goes dry okay since i got some
stuff and if yeah you gotta actually i don't have an extra five and five yep in the full
auto configuration well yeah let's do it shoot already yes go oh i was gonna do two or three
right i went five okay let's count better one two one two three you get you i'm getting it down of
the counting as you go i didn't expect that it's a hard cadence of fire too especially with an open
bolt gun like that to count yeah we're gonna talk about that open bolt in a minute because it's not
all right now seven yard line ten rounds all right okay rounds reload five rounds
button two to three bursts two to three round burst all right shooter ready yep stand by go
one two three one two three one two one two yep good enough okay
probably should have reloaded that's having fun
oh oh was i supposed to do the reload again five rounds reload five round safety was on there we go
we'll set it up for five rounds again next time all right make it safe let's go down check your
target so this is okay so far yeah so far that's a staple hole staple hole that's a haircut generally
the rule if you break the line we give it to you so yeah so far that one was that one was
okay it's on the line but yeah i'll win my single shots and here's the deal with the open bolt guys
i've known it like it and it is antiquated i mean we're talking 100 year old tommy gun right
and so i'm going to put on a single not like it matters okay mag empty we're all empty all the
way so every time on the single shot as well as the full auto when we drop that bolt when we drop
the hammer there's you know when we press the trigger the whole freaking two pound bolt goes
you see the gun move okay and then so since i'm on a single shot there's our reset nice mushy trigger
you gotta wait for that bolt to hit before it fires so uh not ideal i see why they do
it mechanically it's easy yeah there's nothing to it the rounds stay in the magazine the bolt
strips the round off the top of the magazine chamber since the primer home there's a lot of
stuff happening there whereas most of the full auto guns we're used to shoot now the round is
in the right and everything's going on behind it a lot less movement and a lot more precision
precision gun this time gun is not no let's do bursts 10 rounds but you got to keep them in these
so we're modifying it yeah that sounds more fun yeah okay okay make it slightly more
difficult okay but no reload no because that's no reload let's just do 10 rounds
full auto configuration short round burst but you got to keep every round
in that and that white square i'm ready for that i'll tell you what let's go 15 seconds
i'm gonna just dump in one pole all right all right ready yeah stand by why are we timing
that was impressive i hit i hit the bottom edge once yeah your first round but it's all the way
in yeah okay we'll get a close-up of that because that's not bad no that's really good
yeah i'd say qualified it's bullet copper lead carbon and tree so i can carry a machine gun
like as my edc now right uh edc not so much but should you be able to
i think so america so you know ammo is scarce and i just wanted to thank our friends over at
angelfire ammo who sent me some so we can do this project we're fixing to turn this joker into a
chainsaw so now that we move the suppressor it's a little louder and a lot of guys have
asked about my ear pro which i am loving lately this is axel gsx extreme bluetooth rechargeable
all that good stuff i've been wearing it for months check the link out down below
if you've been looking for some goodie or pro i rhymed no let's shoot jack is gonna have the
honors of starting off our tree shoot the lorax was giving us issues again so we're gonna make him
quiet down so i'm putting ears since yeah no can you yeah just shoot the lorax all right here we go
that was a there's a fire burner target and doing that it's a great shot a lot the fluff is awesome
here we go
he had a group like a silver dollar there that's awesome
so i got oh no it's my turn oh your turn that's my turn
i like i like your technique eating out the heart we're gonna see in a second if we shot
we gotta see we'll see if it shot through it's sucking them up yeah there's there's
not a single exit there's there's a there's a crack oh that could have been from the firebird
no no wow so 45 penetration is less than desirable this is a nice stout sweet gum that's impressive
i am so glad angelfire gave us some ammo for today because that's a stout tree and we didn't pick
that was awesome
50 rounds
yes we're getting all the way through and chewing through now i love this kind of stuff when we can
pull a bullet out of something that's awesome that's awesome right there there's that angel
fire bullet i think i can put it back in again if we only had some primers we're at 140 rounds
and i'm just too stoked that this drum actually works let's go to town
that was that was crazy
one round it didn't cycle and true it it just it didn't spin the next one in
that's hilarious so 141 rounds that magical bullet right there that's hilarious
that's just that's so funny all right so this is our path we never even changed directions
sometimes so we set this up so we could safely shoot 90 degrees that way and this way
but uh i guess they might not be hot anymore no they're pretty good
oh oh wow they're running into each other so you know what your very first super tight group jack
just made one big well and that's what we found when we shot the tree down with the 50.
what happens is it breaks up the wood grain and it starts to funnel okay because we shot directly
across from 100 yards and instead of directly across they all started to chew up and just
and exit in a single hole out the back so with your perfect little silver dollar group
see look you got nice little souvenirs for your kiddos that's pretty oh that's
it smells good yeah that's why they call it a sweet gum
cause that's very sweet it looks like i'm biting sniffing your hand though
it's a heck of a fun time shooting yeah i got to shoot the magical 45 bullet two world wars
baby i feel like tom hanks in a in saving private ryan in the tank knocks a tree down in one bullet
but what's wrong with this is i still have 49 rounds in this drum and i'm gonna uh i'm
still gonna we're still gonna continue on but yeah thanks for coming out with a help to join
me jack and pull the trigger if y'all want to join both of us head over to topshotdustin.com
get on the mailing list that's about the only way we're able to push stuff out there
and we'll tell you when the next class is so okay i love you bye but i'm still going to shoot
now it's empty
oh it's heavy it's still there jack yep we win
hahaha
did you see that come on come on
a gaming like a wrecking ball
oh perfect
