"Al be bak!"
Today I fulfilled every man's boyhood dream & had a go at blitzing a machine gun! I did it at a shooting range in an army barracks training camp.
It really did provide an unbelievable buzz. I had a go with an m-16 and a machine gun that was so big it needed to be on a stand.
While my aim with the m-16 was far better, the machine gun provided the best adrenaline rush. I was literally shaking due to the force of the thing.
I don't think I'll be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger, my aim with the machine gun was all over the place. I did manage to hit the paper, however I think I'd be brown bread in the line of battle.
Contrary to my previous desire to blow up a cow, when it came to the real thing I literally didn't have the heart to do it! Even if I did I wouldn't fancy forking out 100's of dollars to do it.
Blitzing a chicken was tempting though (joke!). I'll try not to upset the dog lovers but you can actually shoot a dog too!
After I had my fix of adrenaline for the day, the tuc tuc driver asked me to play football with him. This was a great experience. We played on a half sand/half grass pitch and the standard was terrible.
Those who have seen me play football will know that the titanic turns faster than me, but these guys made me look like Ronaldo (not the fat one!)
Unfortunately the game was short lived as a storm postponed the game, however I had a great time and it was good to do some exercise too.
I've decided to head to Phnom Phen on Saturday, and after that I'll go to Vietnam, a place I'm eager to visit!
