Lets start off by saying that I am NOT expressing any political views
here.
I am just stating the situation in a factual way in order to contribute
to the post.
I participated in the Lebanon war two summers ago. Let me tel you that
in a war you can get away with a lot of stuff. Rockets were landing all
over the place and tanks and artillery were constantly firing off
rounds. Therefore no one even noticed M-16 firing which is what I shot
from a unicycle. (I was not shooting at anyone.) Also no one has to
account for ammunition. There is to much going on to count bullets.
I am a mortar operator and sniper and when I was not on duty I would
take my unicycle on rides through the fruit orchards in the area. The
area of Northern Israel and southern Lebanon is very mountainous with
terraced fruit orchards all over the place. It was great riding. I had
to have my personal weapon (An M-16.) on me at all times. Soldiers are
brought up on charges who leave thier weapons unatended, therefore I
rode with my gun. On one of my rides in a valley during an artillery
firing barrage I just pulled the bolt back and started firing the gun
in single shot mode. No problem. However when I tried it on fully
automatic I was knocked off the unicycle on to my ass. I am a good
marksman but let me tell you that your accuracy is not great and it is
not easy. I am sure that with practice you could probably get quite
good.
