Sorry it took so long, but here are the first videos from Camp Perry 2006. I will start with Ed Masaki's new gun, which became known as the Dragon Gun after Dr Norman Wong saw it and described it as a Fire Breathing Dragon. Ed likes the description enough he plans to have a dragon logo on the side of new production guns. On several videos I have left in parts after the individual shot it for the first time so you can hear their immediate reaction, and in a couple of cases you can hear or see Ed talking about the gun in the background.

I met Ed on range 2 one afternoon, the function / practice range, and after a close call with range officials who were not so sure about the idea of allowing cameras on the line, was able to get these videos. They knew Ed, and if he wanted it to happen, they finally relented. The first video is of Mike McShay trying out the Dragon Gun.

The next shows Lara Rhodes taking a shot with the Dragon, and you can just hear her comment afterwards if you listen carefully.

This is a close up video of the gun in action. At the reduced resolutions required by the internet sites it becomes a little harder to make out some of the details. I do not recall who the shooter is.

Here Ed shoots his creation.

In this one I try out the gun. I left in the last part after I finished because Ed can be heard and then seen talking about it, and I thought there might be an interest for many of you in putting more of a face to the name.

In this one Grayson Palmer tries out the Dragon Gun. He is a High Master shooter and I thought his reactions while shooting would be of interest to many. He definitely seemed to like it.

I hope you enjoy these, and that they can answer some questions about the gun and how well it works.
