AK47’s, M16’s, UZI’s, Assault Rifles, Flamethrowers, Cannons and Napalm are just some of the combat hardware in use at the World’s Largest Machine Gun Shoot. Whether you want to stock up on ammo, buy a copy of “The Anarchist’s Cookbook”, test your skills on the “sub-machine gun jungle run” or blow-up an old chevrolet just for fun; the choice is yours. You can even buy a tank for home-defence, if so desired.

Twice a year thousands of men, women and children from all walks of life, descend on Knob Creek Gun Range, Bullitt County, Kentucky, to experience the finest display of weapons outside a battlefield. An estimated 30,000 people are believed to have attended the three-day event. A diverse selection of gun fanatics dressed according to their beliefs, are there to show, buy, or merely admire guns, ammo, literature and meet like-minded people.

Strong emotions were evident amongst the participants, who included war veterans, Militia members, 2nd Amendment supporters, and those who displayed an attachment to the Nazi cause.
The atmosphere was incredibly emotional in light of 9/11. Slogans such as “don’t mess with US” saturated the event. Shooting targets of Bin Laden’s face were in abundance, as were patriotic messages and American flags.

The highlight is the night shoot, where the whole main range containing a vast selection of derelict objects is set-upon by flamethrowers, napalm, machine guns and dynamite. The climax is deafening and spectacular. The only pre-requisite is a pair of earplugs.
