Anyone shoot any FULLY automatic weapons in here?

The only FA firearm I have fired live rounds is an M14. I was pretty much uncontrollable. first round was on target, second was a few feet high and the rest were artillery into the next zip code:eek:

I've also fired blanks out of M16s and M60s, but that doesn't really count.

Personally, I'd reather spend money on an SBR than a FA gun. But I am planning to head up to Minneapolis to rent a few at Bill's gunshop
 
I most often shot the M249 single shots or in very short bursts to conserve ammo, then after I'd knocked my targets down I'd rattle off the rest, oftentimes I wouldn't. The fun wore off after awhile (sorry guys), I became a range safety later and taught other people how to use them, clear them, not accidentally kill anyone with them.

Now at the end of the day we'd quite often be told we couldn't bring back any ammo, 1000's of rounds would be fired off in a few minutes at the end which most of the guys loved, usually the guys who didn't have to clean the MG's loved it the most.

Now night fire w tracers was always fun and firing with a gas mask on was interesting.
 
I've got plenty of experience with a MAC, Uzi, PPSH41, MP-38, M16, Sten, MP5K, and some ARs in various calibers. As of now, my NFA needs lean more towards suppressors and SBRs. Too expensive to feed them.
 
M16, M60, M2 but it's been a few years.

Those and the Uzi and G3 (trained with the Bundeswehr a couple of times).

My favorite was the M2: If you could see it, you could hit it, given enough time and rounds.
 
I go rent a sub-machine gun every now and then.

H&H Shooting Sports Complex.

Usually on or around my birthday,,,
I'll make the drive and rent one for grins and giggles.

As you can see the rental fee isn't bad at all,,,
It's the ammunition that runs up the cost.

But hey,,,
It's a wild thing.

M-60 while on night guard duty in VN. Shot mainly monkeys and deer that tripped the flares until the CO started charging us a dollar a round...that ended that sport.
 
I only fired full auto in the Army. M219, M60, M2, M3 grease gun, M85 50cal, M240. I loved the ammo burn off at the end of training. Shot 1000s of rounds over the years 20+ and I helped clean the MGs.

Jimbob86, My first post was what we scientists call "sarcasm." It is more commonly known as "being an ass."

Asking if anyone in a NFA forum has ever shot a machinegun is kinda like waking into a bar and asking if anyone has ever drank whiskey.

Uzi, MP5, MP5SD, M16A1, HK 33, HK 53, AK 47, 1919, and the most fun of them all, Ruger 10/22 with Norell trigger pack.

Forgot one. Beretta M12.

M-14's are great to shoot and very accurate, providing you have the correct accessories, (E2) .

Full auto shotguns are fun also .

Ak, M4, Uzi but none compare to the P90. That thing has an unreal rate of fire. But at $20 a clip it isn't so fun
 
When I lived in south florida I did. I rented them from arizona gun and knife shooting range. I shot an m4a1 and an uzi with a wood stock. IT WAS AMAZING!!! I had what I have sinced dubbed a "wargasm" which is where you dump a mag at 30feet just cause you can and feel like a stud. It was quiet the experience. Everyone should get to do this atleast once in their life.
 
I owned a BAR, a STEN, an M3, a 1928 Thompson, and an M2 carbine, and fired them all when I could find an appropriate place. I sold them when I got old enough to be concerned about leaving my survivors with transfer problems. That was premature, as you might gather, but I got some nice money for them.

I'd LOVE a Thompson fully auto!! My dad carried one in WWII with a drum magazine on it. He said it would knock the enemy right off their feet when they were on a banzai charge..... :eek:
 
I have a Cobray M11 that hasn't seen a lot of shooting recently due to the cost of ammo.

A few years back, a buddy with a class III license brought out his collection to shoot; the short list:

MP5, MP5PDW, HK93, HK33, HK51, HK53, Steyr Aug, Uzi B.

Those were happy days!
 
Back in the early 70's, I worked part time as a shipping clerk for a major Class 3 dealer. Every so often the 6 employees and boss would pick out any weapons that we wanted to shot. And we had a selection of every thing that you can think of. We would go through thousands of rounds of all calibers that we would get with a lot of the trades. Some locals found out about our shoots and would just hang around till we were done just to pickup our brass. There was not much we did not shot. For safety, we shot into the damn for the city water supply. Never did start leaking.

Later on, I had my own Class 3 license for 12 years just to collect the guns. When I decided to let the license expire, I had 41 class 3 guns. Made good money on the sale because it was after 86. Had I waited to sell now, it would have been a hell of a profit.
 
pcb911, sounds like me. I had a lot of machine guns before 1968 and registered most of them during the amnesty, sold off a lot of others that I should have registered and kept. I ended up with two .50 M2HB, two .30 ANM2, 1919A4, a Winchester M14, Colt XM16A1, Sten, 1921/28 Navy Thompson, M1 Thompson, M1A1 Thompson, M2 carbine, British Bren and Lewis, Russian Degtyarev, MAC10 and 11, and a few others.

I sold most of these in the late 70's and early 80's but kept a few which I still shoot. Should have kept them all since they cost me practically nothing when I acquired them. Hey, who wanted a .50 M2HB in 1964? Nobody was interested in them and they sold for about $200 each back then. I think I paid somewhere around $300 for the Navy Thompson and under $100 for the Sten. Who knew?:eek:
