We were on the range with about 10 machineguns firing at 300 metre figure 11 targets when a mob of kangaroos, probably 40-50 strong, hopped across the range. Suddenly tracers veered away from the targets and towards the roos. Roughly 30 seconds and about a thousand rounds later and every last one hopped leisurely over the other side of the range completely untouched....

Sounds like the "A-Team Syndrome" where thousands of rounds are fired but no one gets hit.
