P-51 Mustang Restoration Includes Operational .50cal Machine Guns (Video)

That is awesome. While he may not be shooting down anyone, it is cool that an old warbird was fixed up and is completely operational.

Unless you have been around .50 cal firing you have no idea how loud that is. I was fortunate to have fired a quad 50 on a mount while in Korea in the early 70's. This is 30% louder.
