Gainesville police installed a new speed camera today linked to a live Browning .50 machine gun to safeguard its citizens from speeders exceeding the local 30 mile per hour speed limit. Illustrated at http://www.b17sam.com/SpeedCamera.html

Nope. The links on a .50 are more forward 'cause the round is pulled backwards out of the belt then feed into the chamber.

That its just what we need , a zero tolerance speed gun. We will all stick to the speed limit now. Thanks for posting Sam. Maybe it will catch Mustangdriver in his General Lee one day ! (That is jelousy talking because the Charger is my fave car of all time , and I will definateley never own one .) Once again Sam thanks for everything , it is an honour (British spelling!) to have you post on this forum.
