The dealer where I get most of my hardware also offers a CCW class: 12 hours academic, 8 hours range time. One of the most popular features of the class is the Round Robin, in which every student gets to fire 3 rounds from a variety of guns: a .380, a 9mm pistol, an Uzi, a .40, a 1911, an AK-47, an AR-15, a .38/.357 (3 rounds each), a 20-ga, a 12-ga, and a flintlock (yes, really). The students are supervised by instructors who point out the features of each gun. I usually handle the Uzi. The ammo is provided by the dealer.
I asked Paul after last Sunday's class if I could bring a .50 for the Round Robin. He laughed and said, "Sure, but I'm not providing the ammo for that! You got one?"
"No," sez I, "but I'm looking at the BFG-50 and a reloading setup. I'd only give the students one shot each, of course."
Paul sez, "That's about all most of them would *want* to take."
Dunno about that. Most of the students fall in love with the Uzi, even though I have to help the smaller ones hold it up. I'm guessing they'd be ecstatic at getting the chance to fire a *real* high-powered gun.
