Re: Beast of Omaha
This from another poster on another discussion site,
"Agree about burning out several barrels. The least amount of ammunition he would have to fire is about 20,000 rounds with 70,000 being more likely. Aside from the changing about ten barrels, even with the quick "flip", he would have to store everything around the bunker, the huge amount of ammunition could not all be within reach of him or his assistant. Wasn't there 300 rounds in a box? As you said the Americans wouldn't take a time out to give the guy time to straighten himself out. Even the thousands of empty cartridge cases would be a problem."
