yeah the bottom wooden pallet is mainly a storage device more than a mount, the backstop was close by so no errant bullets escaped.

Nonsense! If by madness, you mean crazy, nothing of the sort! Stupidity? Why, because they care little for what a French Museum curator wants? What would they do with it anyways? Put it up for display? More likely, it would be in a backroom collection, available only to a few and, unknown to most.

Better to have the gun used by appreciative people and, seen by many, rather than to have it exist in the back room of some museum, making a curator happy.

+1 on the sandbags, no fun unless you can shoot more than 3 rounds with out having to worry about catching that gun.
