Yup there are more videos in that series. I think the Irish actually did pretty well in the 50 Cal event ( maybe even won it ). I am pretty sure they won the sniping from a chopper event .

BTW its at least 2 or 3 years old.

The one Irish use isn't semi we have the AI AW50 which is bolt. The ones in the vid are American. We do very well at that comps, fair play to the lads.
