A fun clip showing the firing of a newly restored WW2-era German 88mm flak (anti-aircraft) gun.

The gun tractor (Hanomag half track) and the 88mm gun are both owned and based here in New Zealand.

Well done to the restoration team in Blenheim (Dave Lochead, Tim Babb, Craig Keown, Reece Duncan and Roger lauder) for getting this superb piece of historic military hardware up and running (firing) again.

    Looooool XD....and then the liberals back in the United States bitch and whine about too many people own firearms. That's just rifles, pistols, and shotguns ONLY. On the other side of the Pacific however....

    It's ironic that New Zealanders can own large-caliber artillery with ease, much even more fire rounds from it. lol :P
