Review of Dragon Man's Machine Gun Shoot

Guns. Some folks love 'em, some folks hate 'em. Stephen Raher found himself a hot topic and an upfront spokesman in the Dragon Man. He estimated that on this day in September (the 11th) he and the people who paid to come to his event would shoot off 100 thousand bullets in six and a half hours.
Raher gets great quotes from the Dragon Man and some of his patrons.
I think the real challenge he had with this piece was how to use sound (guns being fired and dynamite blowing up an effigy of Bin Laden) in such a way as to avoid overload on the listeners' part. Overall he succeeds, but I think he could have found a creative way to use gunfire as punctuation in the piece.
