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

Submitted
 
There are few crafts that demand such attention to detail as high-end aircraft restoration. Millions of dollars are plowed into aircraft in horrible shape, some even pulled from glaciers or the sea, and they are meticulously rebuilt by hand. One P-51 owner in particular wanted his Mustang to go a step further than all others- operational .50cal machine guns. (foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com) More...

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.

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.
