I'm not going to show you my house (obviously :roll: ), and there's not much to see anyway. An undersized lot with a house, a shed, lots of garden, and neighbours packed around on all sides.

Here's the place where I took the video of the ME20H-41 at 20x:

Image

Roughly 4000 hectares that we can actually use. The entire plot of land is 180 acres.

The range I use for things that don't make ungodly loud noises and shockwaves:

Image

It's within a kilometre or so of a fairly densely populated area, so noise becomes a concern in some cases, and all that water doesn't help.

And I can use this for anything short of nuclear weaponry, so long as I don't hit the inconveniently placed island with a cottage on it:

Image

If aimed properly, I have over 100 miles of range before I could hit a populated area from here (well that would be passing over a Native reserve, but I doubt that anyone would really notice another few suspicious deaths or explosions there).

This is one of my shooting ranges, only a few hundred metres from my house. The other is either my driveway, backyard or golfcourse right next to my house :)

And you wondered why I gave up on my unregulated helium project...
I do also have access to this ex-dump area, though there are a bit too many dog walkers for my likes.

edit: damn, it appears that I deleted the photos... well have a nice explosion in my back yard instead:

Do not look back, and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come;
Live life in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

This here’s my range, yes that’s a road dang smack in the middle but it’s small and only sees traffic during rush hour as people try to get home.

It’s a little old; anything outside of the red but this side of the woods is now covered in houses.
Them woods is were I play paintball, there’s more woods to the west, but it’s all pasture land s no landing projectiles there…

The blue dot is just behind the shed that’s used as a shop.
