British Couple Reacts to BRITS Go SHOOTING in ALABAMA (GUN RANGE) 

when we were teenagers we walked around town with our shotguns and rifles on our way out to the local woods, no one batted an eye, it was just normal.

“It’s not my business so why should I have an opinion about it”. That’s how you get along with people who are different than you. Super respectable and I wish we all would learn to do this more often.

The reason the owner said he needed the license for the G36 is that fully automatic weapons (it keeps firing as long as you keep the triggered pulled) are not legal without such a license. Semi automatics (one shot every time you pull the trigger) are generally legal.

If you're going to Texas I'm sure you can find a fan who can set you up with a very safe family friendly gun range.

Coming from someone here in America I must say. Saying "we don't have the issue over here so we can't share or have an opinion on it" is one of the most respectful, mature, and wise things I've ever heard someone admit. It bugs the hell out of me when people who don't have the same issues try to weigh in and tell us how we should act with something we live with and they don't so much much SO MUCH respect for you guys to take that stance, whether or not that's how you truly feel, using that as your "I'm not getting into this conversation here and now" scape-goat is awesome. big props to you. I appreciate ya'll for that one.

Outdoor ranges help with the volume if you're not used to it. There are a lot of safety measures in place. The range officers are very knowledgeable.

I love hearing the crickets near the end. That's what southern evening memories are made of.

Flying shells: one of many reasons to be wearing eye protection while you shoot. One thing I really like about the instructor is his care for safety. While I think most places are careful like this, it's hugely important to me to see them walk the walk.

Office Bloke: *completely misses targets* Instructor: "I haven't sighted that that one in so I don't know..." Office Bloke: *continues to miss targets* Instructor: "If you're not hitting 'em, you're scaring 'em real bad." Nicest, kindest instructor in the world 🤣

The younger guy in the hat is indeed the son and you can hear a woman in the back saying “that’s the American blood” when he kept hitting the targets, because he was born in the U.S. as his mom and dad (Daz and Gaynor) lived in the USA for a few years. So he indeed does have both countries blood running through him 😊

I am from Alabama . I have taught 3 of my 4 kids gun safety and how to fire different types of firearms . My 6 year old is learning on a pellet rifle now and will be getting her first .22 caliber rifle in a couple of months , then move up calibers when she is comfortable

As a TEXAN, I’m glad y’all are coming here for one, two, your enthusiasm to shoot is great. Half the U.K. RU-vidrs I’ve seen come here don’t take advantage of the great opportunity that you may never experience again. It’s absolutely a big part of our culture and in my opinion a must try if you want to really get the full reason why we are very pro gun. It’s part of who we are. Relax and let the pros walk you through it. It’s no more dangerous than driving a car if you learn the rules of the road. You don’t see many first timers walk away without a smile. Women do very well.

There is no need to be nervous, there won't be no one shooting back at you!! lol

They had good instructors that took the time to explain things instead of just letting them go shoot. Also they started them out a smaller caliber and worked up to larger calibers. Nothing disappoints me more than some jackass giving a first timer a weapon that will knock them on their ass.

This is like the perfect set up. I dont go to indoor ranges because I honestly dont trust being surrounded by inexperienced folks handling firearms. Very different experience, in my opinion.

He needs the license because it is a fully automatic weapon.

Safety safety safety safety safety! There is nothing more important that we preach in the gun world than safety and knowledge

Lived in Vermont my father was on B-24 WW2. The Holster for their 1911 kept it under their arm for freedom of movement. I was about 9 years old when I started wearing it and it was at my waist. I carried that 45 on my waist for 3 or 4 years except when I went to school. He drilled Gun safety into my head.

I love going to the range! We have a lot here in Tennessee. Great video guys!

You guys should reach out to some of the gun youtubers for help and info on where to go when you do it. If you're doing it in Texas Brandon Herrera and I believe demoranch both live there

Being raised in the southern u.s. it's interesting to see people's reactions to firearms, doing this in the backyard. Nothing to be scared of , just have to respect the capability of what it can do!

From someone growing up around firearms, your faces were priceless! ❤❤❤

I watch these guys as often as I watch you!! Love the Office Blokes, love Daz's family, and love you guys!!! Brits who love America, can't go wrong, lol 😁

Wow, what a great video! Was so nice to see someone react to something besides eating bbq in Texas

Gun ranges are everywhere in the free states. My cousin (now retired) owned a gun shop and collaborated with a local gun range to sponsor a yearly machine-gun shoot with the proceeds going to charities that help people with Downs Syndrome. There is a gun range outside of Louisville Kentucky (Knob Creek Gun Range) that regularly has machine-gun shoots. Sometimes they have them at night and use tracers/incendiary ammunition which makes it really spectacular.

I was on the high school rifle team all 4 years.

If you like what Daz did in Alabama and you're going to visit Texas anyway, you ought to visit Drive Tanks near San Antonio. It will be a blast not only driving and firing all the vehicles, but the impressive collection of vintage historical machineguns they have.

Just be ready for how loud it will be. ALWAYS wear ear protection.

Always Treat A Gun As IF It's Loaded

-As a former police officer and range officer, a gun isn't anything to fear, but be respected. If you keep the weapon pointed down range and LISTEN to what the range officer tells you, you'll be ok and should have an enjoyable time -Daz and his family actually lived in the states for about 12 years. His sons technically have birthright to citizenship cause they were born in the US. This isn't their first time in the States. They lived mostly in Jersey and then moved to Texas before moving to Dubai because his company had an opening there. -A Type 07 FFL License allows a person to make guns to sell, as opposed to a Type 01 license only allows you to sell guns as a firearms dealer and/or be a gunsmith. It's a 3 year license that needs to be renewed. A type 03 the easiest to get is a collector of curio and relics. Can't sell them, but they can get weapons shipped directly to their homes. There are a few more, but those are the basics. It's not because of rarity of the weapon, it's because it's an automatic weapon which is illegal to own unless you have a federal license. -Supressors help reduce recoil, which allows for faster and more accurate follow-up shots. It also reduces the light emitted from it being fired. It doesn't slow the bullet down, but because it makes the muzzle longer it actually increases the speed because of increased pressure. - 20:41 Naw, aiming it she doesn't have it straight. She's aiming the rear sights and not lining the rear sights with the front sight.

That "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" comment was from the 1980 movie, Apocolypse Now. I was USAF in South Korea and that was one of the very few newly released movies that we got in the base theatre while I was there.

If ya'll are going to be in Texas, it will be really easy to find a great range. I recommend an outside range, and to go on a slow day, like a Monday. A somewhat empty range is definitely less intimidating for a beginner. Or, you can book a private session, like this video, if you don't mind spending a bit more money. Either way, you'll have a great time. And someone will always be patrolling the lanes to guide you and answer your questions. As soon as you walk up to the counter the guy will notice your accents, assume your beginners, and you'll get the entire safety rundown lol.

There's an old saying; "A person with a gun is a citizen, a person without a gun is a subject". "Silencer" is a misnomer. The device is called a "Suppressor". It suppresses the sound, and the muzzle flash.

Some folks hobbies are bowling, softball, running,or going to the gym. Going to the range with your weapons is also a hobby. Im at the range at least once a week

I really hope you go to a range while you’re here! No need to worry. Just wear your eye and ear protection, pay attention to the rules of the range, and you’ll have fun!

Joel and Lia (from RU-vid) went to a gun range in the U.S. and Lia stupidly aimed the gun at Joel’s chest when she wasn’t paying attention. She’s lucky she didn’t accidentally shoot or he would have been dead. The guy supervising them nearly had a heart attack when he saw it.

Getting used to the recoil is the most surprising thing to master! Once you get used to it you’ll get quite good at hitting targets!

The license he was referring to was a category of gun dealer. He is licensed to sell to law enforcement, so he has access to guns that civilians can't legally own. You can own full automatic weapons in the US, but they passed a law in 1986 that machine guns manufactured after the date of the law could no longer be transferred into civilian ownership. That G-36 was made after that, so if he stopped being a dealer, he would either transfer it to another dealer that possessed that kind of license, or demilitarize the weapon, usually by cutting up the receiver.

The son was actually born in the US, years ago the dad was stationed in business in the US

I'm a 77-year-old American who only shot guns when I was in the Air Force (2991 days) and was required to do so for weapons qualification. I worked on airborne radio and radar navigation equipment, not guns. Being right-handed, left eye dominant made this a real hoot, as they forced me to shoot left-handed (this was in the late 60s early 70s).

I'm an Alabamian and happened to be cleaning some of my reloading presses when this video popped up in my feed :)

I have never heard of a runaway and I have been shooting for 50+ years. I remember taking my niece outback to shoot. She came back in with a huge smile on her face.

Even when aiming correctly often people will find some pistols more natural to shoot than others. Thats a large reason 1911's are still so popular.

A few rules that NEED to be followed. #1 it's ALWAYS LOADED. Treat it like its always loaded. #2 Keep your booger hook off the bang switch. Only put your finger in the trigger guard when you are firing the weapon. #3 ALWAYS keep your weapon pointed down range.

22s don't have as much kick. Shotguns have a good kick, and bigger bullet rounds have a bigger kick. My late husband had a 480 revolver. I could only shoot it 2 times. It hurt my hand. My 22 I could shoot all day. Ful auto is fun. Or even simi auto. Also there are different sights. Iron sites, scope, red dot.

Das shooing that 45 sub machine gun full auto is a pretty good example of why fully automatic weapons are actually pretty terrible when it comes to accuracy. In order to keep the weapon on target he had to keep letting off the trigger because the barrel of the gun naturally wants to climb.

6:44 that’s a 22, pretty low caliber, this is the gun Boy Scouts will often shoot

Spent a few years in the military never had or heard of a weapon keep firing after the finger was off the trigger, and this gentleman has had it happen many times. I guess you learn something everyday.

I saw that someone in the comment section suggested getting in touch with one of the Gun-tuber channels might be a good idea and I think I saw that Brandon Herrera's name was brought up which would be an outstanding option if he could find the time between running for a congressional seat, running his business and producing you-tube content. A couple of other good ones would be Warrior Poet Society or Mr Gunsngear, they both have that mentoring style that I think would benefit someone new to firearms and shooting. Great video and I enjoyed watching your reactions.

The range master is covering worst case scenarios. You should be nervous, it is something you should respect and isn't for everyone. I appreciate your willingness to try. Love your channel and hope you enjoy your trip to the States

We need to repeal the NFA. We the people should be allowed without any interference to own FULL AUTO. Shall not be infringed doesnt mean...as long as its not Full Auto.

Another way to control a runaway gun (which is a freak occurrence, typically only happening with semi or full auto guns that have gotten so hot by continuous firing; usually hundreds of rounds in one sitting; to the point of rounds “cooking off” inside the chamber, causing the next round to be loaded, and then that one to be fired, and so on) and which I was taught in the Army; is to just drop the magazine. If it’s a belt fed machine-gun; just twist the belt so it won’t feed or just snap off the links. Basically, get rid of the source of ammo, and you no longer have a runaway gun. Being nervous about shooting for the first time because you might have a runaway gun is the equivalent of being nervous about driving for the first time because someone might crash into you if you drive 120mph on the wrong side of the highway. Like yeah, you’re technically not wrong, but to even get to that point you would have to go so wrong and so far out of your way to land yourself in that situation. Being from Alabama myself, it’s a friendly place, and guns just so happen to be abundant. I myself collecting several dozen examples, mainly of the military surplus variety. If you find yourself in the States, I’d recommend going to a nice indoor range and picking out a .22 or a 9mm to rent and try out there. It’s an exciting experience you don’t want to miss, that you’ll never forget, and that you can always brag about to your mates back home

Suppressers, often called silencers, don't silence the gun like they do in the movies. With a suppresser on the shot is as loud and clapping your hands as hard as you can next to your ear. With out it is is as loud as a firework going off.

I really like the Range Master, his instructions were on point when they will be using automatic weapons. To me semiautomatic arms are more manageable. When you come to Texas enjoy yourselves we have a lot to experience.

When I was 17 and 18 my older brother took me to the range several times. It was a great experience and it helped me when I joined the Army a couple years later earn my expert weapons badge.

Funny to me. People get so nervous around and firing firearms. Yet get into a 6000lb steel killing machine an drive it 80mph. Without a second thought.

The Bible says a woman’s hair is her beauty. Millie nailed it

I have two RU-vidrs I think you should check out. Brandon Herrera is in Texas, and has a channel in his name he started several years ago. He has a huge collection of guns. He shows various ones, explains how they function, and are they legal to own without special licensing. He shows himself firing various weapons, and describes what he experiences with each one. He also has episodes showing times things have gone very wrong for other people, so we can see the importance of proper handling. Colion Noir discusses laws, and various times when guns have been either used for good, or for bad. Viewing a few episodes of those two channels can give you a great deal of insight to American use of firearms. By the way, Brandon Herrera is running for Congress.

Just remember to ask about the four rules of gun safety and if they don’t mention it ask about it because I saw a Brit go and she about shot her friends

As someone who grew up doing this in my backyard its crazy to see how you guys regard such a thing

Their son Aiden was born in the US.

It's funny how just your basic US family arsenal (not including automatics) amazes them.

Imagine trying to occupy the USA from a military standpoint. Even the US military just stepped aside, you'd have millions of guns pointed at you.

It's been a while since you've done any NASCAR reactions but I think you should react to the finish of this past weekend's NASCAR race in Atlanta. It's one of the greatest finishes in NASCAR history.

If you come to the states go to a gun range. It will be a thrill you'll remember for a life time.

It’s a lot of fun. It’s just important to have good instructors that will keep you safe. You don’t hear the sound that loudly. That’s what the ear protection is for.

@The Beesleys I'm a gun tuber here in south Texas. If y'all head down to Corpus Christi on the coast I'd be happy to take y'all out to the range with my extensive firearms collection for a range day!

I am from Texas. I was in Scotland a few months ago and I had many great conversations with lots of wonderful people and no one asked me about guns. It was great. BTW I can't wait to go back.

Watch out for the flying Brass!!!

A buddy of mine in Wyoming said during our call "hold on...I have a mountain lion circling my horse barn". That is a 200 pound alpha predator trying to kill thousands of dollars worth of horses, maybe also cows, sheep, chickens, hogs, and then come for the humans. He went out with an assault rifle and drove the thing away. Do you want to go after such a potent, agile killing machine in the dark night with a tiny pistol and just 6 bullets? Heck no. You need serious firepower to preserve your own life, prevent horrible injury to helpless animals, and protect your young family and property.

When he said "I like the smell of napalm in the morning. He was quoting a line from the movie "Apocalypse now." A must watch movie about Vietnam. Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Dennis Hopper and other great actors are in it.

I watch their channel. Their son was born in America.☺️

OB Daz is an international man of mystery 😂. Joking, but he and his wife, Gaynor, and two sons, Aidan (in this video), and Declan, have lived in a lot of places. They lived in New Jersey and Texas for a good while, and that's where they had Aidan and Declan, so both are U.S. citizens. So, really, Aidan is finally exercising his Second Amendment right, lol. They're an awesome family. This was when they came over here back around Thanksgiving '23.

love daz and the blokes

The G36 is only available to dealers due to the Hughes Amendment, which closed the federal NFA registry for fully automatic firearms on 19 May 1986. The G36 didn't exist until the mid 90s, so it cannot be owned legally except by someone who deals in automatic weapons. That person or entity can only sell to police departments, government agencies, and military groups. For a better understanding, google "Hughes Amendment", Firearms Owners Protection Act, and National Firearms Act of 1934.

Having a wide variety of reactive targets makes it much more fun and then adding gaming concepts and skills competition adds to the fun as well.

We call the fully automatic rifles “giggle sticks” because every grown man who shoots one just starts giggling afterward!

I'm a 51 year-old American male, born and raised in the great state of Oklahoma. My father taught me to respect the weapon and taught me how to shoot it, in that order. I love my British brothers and sisters. I sure wish you all could properly enjoy firing these magnificent weapons on the range.

Feeling focused/aware when handling firearms is completely normal, and good. It’s like learning to drive a car - you want a beginner to feel slightly nervous. It means they take it seriously. You will do fine in the US.

I'm amazed at how intrigued you are about what is a very common "hobby".

Nothing to be nervous about. You'll have fun. Just always keep the safety advice in mind. That's number one.

Never seen a run-az-way in 60 years of shooting.

Texan here (closest big city im close to is Dallas) my hope is my fellow Texans are going to be welcoming and loving! Can’t wait to see your reactions! Safe travels!!

Hey you 3 !! Glad to be back with u all .

When you guys said “I’m not going into this pro gun or anti gun it’s none of our business” I automatically fell in love with you guys. Most people from other countries like to form an opinion on America because of our love of guns and freedom.

I know you might not believe this, but I did a similar thing each year IN ENGLAND 45 years ago. I was vice captain our school's rifle team, and once a year we would go to a military range for a day out "party" to shoot some heavier weaponry. M16s, FNs, 357 Magnum pistols, etc (no fully auto guns), with teenagers, in ENGLAND.

15:32 the fireball out of the barrel is usually too quick for a camera shutter to get. Most guns have a fireball about the size of a soccer ball.

To many Americans a gun is a tool, no diffrent than an axe or hammer. It can be used to harvest food or defend against predators. Just like all those axe throwing places it can be used for entertainment and competition.

I’ve had people visiting from Australia. They begged me to take them to the range. They had a ball!

The G-36 is a dealer sample that was made after 1986. 1986 is when the machine gun ban went into effect. Any machine gun that was made before 86 anyone can have. If it’s post 86 you need a federal firearms license.

The reason the first few rifles made so much less noise is that they had suppressors, also known as silencers (a silencer doesn't actually make a gun silent, just less noisy.) The noise level isn't bad either way when you're actually there, because you're wearing hearing protection.

Dang, you can see that guy flinch even with the recoil on a mini screen 😂.

The funniest thing? Mom's family is from Alaska, dad's side is from the Choctaw & Chickasaw Nations. Military service & weapons are common on both sides. Notice a Camaro & a pick up truck in the background...that made me laugh.

My son's girlfriends family from California came for a visit to Texas. We took them to a gun range, and they spent at least $300 dollars shooting 9mm and 45 pistols and AR15's rifles.

Something to keep in mind, there are only two ways to buy a full-auto gun. You have to either be company with a class III FFL License (which this man is) or you have to buy Pre-1986 tranferable guns which range from 5,000 to 50,000 dollars each. Those prices only increase each years much like classic cars. Each shot is a matter of cents to north of 5 dollars per single round fired for the ammo.

Love these two, especially when they said it's not their business to talk about American gun rights. As a firearms owner myself, I'm in full support of the 2A because majority of owners are law abiding citizens. Most of the gun crimes are not by registered firearms, instead they're stolen. Chicago has one or if not the strictest gun laws in America, but see 600+ homicides a year. 2000 in the last 3 years with Lightfoot in office. Laws only restrict law abiding citizens, criminals don't care about the law.

Other forms of silencer luke attachments include compressors, flash hiders, and compensators which reduce the vertical climb recoil

The first was suppressed, in a 9mm pistol caliber. The second was a .22lr, smallest common cartridge in the world. Third one is a .45ACP, another pistol cartridge. The G-36 is 5.56mm NATO cartridge, the reason for the restriction is the full automatic capability. After the G-36 was another 5.56mm NATO. The pistols were a all 9mm. Then a 12ga. pump shotgun, followed by a 12ga. semi-automatic shotgun. .500 S&W Magnum revolver.

LOL. Her face is so stressed and his is so excited/jealous.

This was a fun video and they definitely covered a good selection of weapons. I definitely suggest going to an outdoor range and or finding an indoor range that has quite a bit of space due to the noise.
