Looks like fun, doesn't it?<br />
Well, rocking and rolling on full auto is a lot of fun.<br />
"we felt the women had been ignored"<br />
"I, I like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my hands"<br />
(Aaahhh.)<br />
"you know, I, I<br />
like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my<br />
Hands"<br />
"you know, I, I like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my<br />
Hands"<br />
(Aaahhh)<br />
"You know, I, I like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my<br />
Hands"<br />
"the feeling of, of the machine gun i<br />
N my hands" (here we go, 30<br />
Rounds"<br />
"the women had been ignored"<br />
"I like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my hands"<br />
(Aaahhh)<br />
"got to be an addiction!"<br />
"you know, I, I like the, the feeling of, of the machine gun in my<br />
Hands ... got to be an addiction with me!" (Aaahhhh... nothin' like it!)<br />
Hey, beautiful, beautiful! Last one got 'em!<br />
"30 rounds in one and a half seconds! Real firepower....."<br />
"we felt the women had been ignored ... they'd been kept ignorant<br />
And, uh, afraid of firearms, when they're no more difficult to operate than<br />
A household appliance"<br />
Hi! I'm Candy Jo, and I'm shooting the Ingram M-10, or the Mac-10!<br />
GUNS.<br />
This gun is one of the most well-known machine guns in the world,<br />
(GUNS.) not only because it has been featured in numerous Hollywood movies,<br />
(GUNS.) but also because it has derived underworld popularity. (GUNS.)<br />
The Mac-10 is the weapon of choice because of it's concealability. (GUNS.)<br />
With this gun, even I could stop most of the bad guys out there.<br />
GUNS.<br />
As you <br />
Can see, this gun is really fast! (GUNS.) It fires a 9<br />
Millimeter round at a rate of 1200 rounds per minute! (GUNS.) That's, like,<br />
20 shots per second! (GUNS.)<br />
Not only that, it weighs just six and a quarter pounds, and it's<br />
Only ten and a half inches long. (GUNS.)<br />
Hello, my name is Julie, and this is the M-16. (GUNS.)<br />
I'm shooting the MPK submachine gun. It's made in Germany, (GUNS.)<br />
The MP stands for Machine Pistol. (THIS is a real gun.) This gun fires a 9<br />
Millimeter cartridge at a rate of 550 rounds per minute. (GUNS.) That's<br />
Close to 10 rounds per second!<br />
("they're no more difficult to operate than<br />
A household appliance")<br />
What surprises me is how easy this gun is to handle. (GUNS.) I<br />
Guess that's what makes it so much fun! (GUNS.)<br />
The barrel on th<br />
E MPK is six inches long, and I'm shooting it with<br />
A 30-round magazine. (GUNS.) It weighs just six and a half pounds, (GUNS.)<br />
And has a clever folding wire stock. (GUNS.) Those Germans really know how<br />
To make a machine gun! (GUNS.)<br />
Now THIS is a real gun.<br />
Not one of those wimpy submachine guns.<br />
I mean, I've never fired a gun before in my life! (GUNS.) But let<br />
Me tell you, once I got that machine gun in my hands, there was no stopping<br />
Me! (GUNS.) It's a blast! I love it! (What a blast!)<br />
It's a blast!<br />
It'<br />
S a blast!<br />
It's a blast!<br />
("Whew, THAT was a blast...")<br />
"Well, we started out telling a little history, y'know, with a<br />
Little music like 'Annie get Your Gun' and a pioneer-dressed woman... and<br />
The story line developing through the, um, the dance hall girl who had<br />
To... protect herself in various ways... all of these having various<br />
Concealed firearms... then into the contemporary business woman in a<br />
Business suit... uh, the recreational woman... a police officer... (we know<br />
Criminals will always get guns) the, uh, security guard... and finishing<br />
("That's enough overdramatics. Give me that gun before someone gets hurt.<br />
Stand by...")<br />
With, uh, the beach woman clad in a bikini."<br />
("Stand by...")<br />
"Okay, alright, stop right there.<br />
("Stand by...")<br />
Where do you <br />
Conceal the gun in a bikini?"<br />
("Stand by...")<br />
But what do you expect? This is my first time ever firin' a gun,<br />
(Yeah!) much less a machine gun! (Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!) (GUNS. GUNS.)<br />
Hi there! My name is Lisa, and this is the H & K G-3. (This is<br />
Fun!) The G-3 fires a 716 round at 550 rounds per minute. (GUNS.) This gun<br />
Really packs a punch! Wow! (Lot of kick to that, I'll tell ya)<br />
"As demonstrated in the fashion show, even when the firearm was,<br />
Uh... exhibited, about 90% of the people never even saw it, or where it<br />
Was. They just saw it appear."<br />
"Now where else did you find places to conceal deadly weapons?"<br />
("Oh, there's Conrad General over there, let's say hello to Conrad General,<br />
Hello, Conrad General!")<br />
"Firearms."<br />
"Okay..."<br />
"There are lots of deadl<br />
Y weapons; we're only dealing with<br />
Firearms."<br />
"Okay."<br />
"We're taking this from a defensive posture. (You go on about<br />
Your business, you see?) Uh, ankle holsters, there were garter belt<br />
Holsters, uh, midriff holsters, which are not unlike a tank top, and a<br />
Holster sewn into that, it fits, uh, underneath the breast area..."<br />
Hello, I'm Tish. I'm shooting the Thompson submachine gun (GUNS.)<br />
Hi, how are ya? I'm Denise, from San Diego, California, and I'm<br />
Gonna show you how to shoot the AK-47 automatic rifle, (GUNS.) the standard<br />
Issue to the Soviet Bloc Army, I might add! (It's a BIG gun!)<br />
This gun weighs nine pounds, seven ounces, and fires 600 rounds per<br />
Minute. (GUNS.)<br />
The fifty round drum is a lot of fun, because you can just shoot,<br />
And just keep on shooting! (GUNS. GUNS. GUNS. GUNS.)<br />
(Whew! Blew the other window out!)<br />
"..have the shoulder holster, then the standard hip holster, and<br />
Uh, waistband holsters..."<br />
"The horizontal shoulder holster was the perfect accessory for the<br />
Businesswoman of the 80's."<br />
(Yeah!)<br />
"There ya go."<br />
"What about ball gowns?"<br />
(Yeah!)<br />
My name is Adrian. How are you doing today? (GUNS.)<br />
I'm shooting the world-famous Uzi submachine gun. (GUNS.)<br />
I can just imagine stopping a group of terrorists in their tracks with this<br />
Magnificent weapon. (GUNS.)<br />
The Uzi is a bit heavy at seven and a half pounds, (GUNS. GUNS.)<br />
But.. that gives it some heft and something to hang on to! (GUNS. GUNS.)<br />
There's something about having a gun in your hands, and being able to<br />
Control it, (GUNS.) I don't know what it is, but all the girls talked about<br />
It...<br />
(Anytime YOU want to go shooting, just give me a call)<br />
"What's next?"<br />
I really don't know anything about guns, but when the producer said<br />
I was going to be shooting the Uzi, I immediately recognized it as the gun<br />
The Presidential Secret Service men carry under their coats!<br />
"What's next? Do the firearms themselves come in, uh, fashion<br />
Colors?"<br />
"Well, believe it or not..."<br />
*bang* *bang* *bang*<br />
Hello, am I on?<br />
(oh, no)<br />
We're here at the Tra<br />
Demark, the motorcade is coming by here, (oh,<br />

To pick up the motorcade, something has happened here... (she calls) we<br />
Understand there has been a shooting...<br />

The motorcade sped on.<br />
The motorcade sped on.<br />
It appears as though something has happened in the motorcade<br />
Route...<br />
Something, I repeat, has happened in the <br />
Motorcade route.<br />
(she calls, oh, no)<br />
The Presidential car coming up now... (the motorcade sped on)<br />
I see Mrs. Kennedy's pink suit... (she calls, oh, no)<br />
There's a Secret Service man (the motorcade sped on)<br />
Checking over the top of the car (she calls, <br />
Oh, no)<br />
We can't see who has been hit (the motorcade sped on)<br />
If anybody's been hit (she calls, oh, no)<br />
Something is wrong here (no, no, no .....)<br />
Something is wrong here, something is terribly wrong (RUN, BOY!!!)<br />
Something is wrong here, something is<br />
terribly wrong (RUN, BOY!!!)<br />
Something is wrong here, something is terribly wrong (RUN, BOY!!!)<br />
Something is terribly wrong<br />

Something is terribly wrong<br />

Something has happened in the motorcade route, st<br />
And by, please.<br />

(RUN, BOY!!! RUN...)<br />
"A shot rang out as he was led.... into his car<br />

Off... (RUUUUNNN, BOOOOOYYYY!!!) everybody stay back... he is... being<br />
Hustled in... to me, he appears dead, there's a gunshot wound in his lower<br />
Abdomen."<br />
*bang*<br />
"Senator Kennedy has been... Senator Kennedy has been shot... is<br />
That possible? Is that possible?<br />
He has fired a shot... he still has the gun, the gun is pointed at<br />
Me at this moment.... I hope they can get the gun out of his hand... be<br />
Very careful... get the gun, get the gun... (RUUUUNNNN, BOOOOYYYY!!!) stay<br />
Away from the gun...<br />
His hand is frozen.<br />
