Gun lovers savor a day on the firing line

HOSCHTON — Some gun enthusiasts go their entire lives not being able to fire some of history’s most iconic weapons.

Saturday, the echoes of some of those powerful weapons could be heard when Dixie Ammo Dump of Hoschton held its second annual Great Dixie Ammo Dump Machine Gun Shoot.

An ammo dump refers to an ammunition depot in the military.

The event allowed participants the opportunity to fire full-auto machine guns such as the MG-74, Russian RPD and AK-47 they otherwise wouldn’t be able to. They learned about the weapons, how they were operated, their safety and their history.
