Real gun, real bullets.


Reminds me of the MacDill AirFest shortly after Desert Storm in the early
90's. They had a F-117 on display for the first time. It was encircled by a
rope barrier. About 10 ft. further out was another rope barrier creating a
"no-man's land" in which 4 or 5 armed guards were patrolling. My friend
squatted down to get a photo of the plane and as he aimed his camera his
elbows were hooked over the outer rope. A guard promptly walked over to my
friend and "gently" tapped one of his elbows with the butt of his rifle.
After my friend got over his initial embarrassment he finally agreed with my
brother and me that it was pretty funny.
