Because I love these moto videos, fighter fling, hornet ball, rhino ball, strike fighter, etc. I put this playlist together but I lose the thread between the end of Tomcats, Fighter Fling 2004 and C-rock's first video the Hornet Ball 2015. Can anyone help with the missing pieces?

I'm not sure if they are exactly what you're looking for but I found a few by doing a Google Video search for "hornet cruise video"

what unit is this bad, but also allowed to do shoot houses with live ammo? Literally everything is done wrong. We only ever did shoot houses with sim rounds.

Sorry just a lurker here but its definitely 10th Mountain. The video was forwarded to the CMA and the CSM for 10th Mountain and the CSM confirmed it was them and that he would "fix it." Someone on IG said it was 3BCT at Fort Polk.

Its worth noting that the ATF was involved with that "operation" too. I'm less surprised that poo poo went sideways and more surprised that a homeowner's dog wasn't shot.

Didn’t they find parts of at least two people?

Yes.

Oh my god that thing is home made? And manually aimed?

The company that makes the M134 made it for a machine gun shoot in Arizona last week. Not exactly "home made."

George Dillon also shared some details about the quad minigun system on Instagram, saying that each gun was firing at the Dillon factory standard rate of approximately 3,000 rounds per minute, for a combined rate of fire of 12,000 rounds per minute. Each Minigun was linked to a magazine that could hold up to 3,000 rounds, for a total of 12,000 rounds ready to fire before the system would need to be reloaded.

"We ended up 'only' shooting 24,000 rounds as loading the belts into the onboard magazines is very tasking," he wrote.

With each gun firing at 3,000 rounds per minute, it would only take 60 seconds of total firing time to let loose all 12,000 rounds in the magazines. Commercial ammunition prices in the United States vary widely based on type and quality, but at a price point of 75 cents a cartridge, firing this weapon system for a minute would cost $9,000."
