Overwhelming Firepower Merit Badget

For our activity this week, we worked on the "Overwhelming Firepower" Merit Badge. My assistant in the priest quorum is in the National Guard. You may remember a recent trip we made to learn about Apache attack helicopters. This week we loaded up on weapons including: .357 Magnum, (2) 9 mm, .22 rifle, 12 gauge shotgun, .30-.30 rifle and an AR-15. Tyson came along with the priests (he loves to shoot) and we all satisfied our lust for shooting stuff. The highlight for everyone was shooting the AR-15 which is a civilian, semi-automatic version of the M-16. I'm not sure there is a merit badge for what we did, but we sure had fun.
