I didnt know supressed .22s were used by seal team six, hmmmmm maybe they werent.
As hushpuppies.
And 50 rounds on full auto will last a whole 15 seconds or so? That’s around $27 a second.
Not even. A mag dump from an M4 with a 30 round mag lasts all of ~ 4 seconds…
So, let’s be generous and give a leisurely six seconds for a mag change for a whopping 10 second experience at $40 per second. Yeah, sign me up.
Everyone should shoot a machinegun at least once in their life. Everyone.
I’m sure it’s nifty. I’m also sure it’s not worth $400 for the 15 minutes or whatever you get to blow through all those rounds.
1.Find someone who owns one (or eight) and become friends.
2.Shoot machineguns for free.
(that’s what I did)
Last time I was in vegas I saw this. Ex girlfriend was like “Oh you like guns! Check this out! Go have fun” and I almost puked when I saw the prices.
My new years resolution was to be more positive, so instead of b!tching about prices, I say it sounds fun!
Do y’all think it’s cheap to rent a Machinegun? I’m gonna get my
trigger pull on, and won’t have that messy clean up afterwords!
Sounds like a blast (no pun intended) but a little rich for my blood.
Is “Machine Gun Vegas” a suggestion? Because if it is, I’m against it.
You’d rather use drones?
Nukes.
From orbit. It’s the only way to be sure…
For those who haven’t, seems like a good opportunity to experience shooting some MG’s, subguns and various types of rifles and pistols.
All respect due to the owners and operators, 75 rounds seems about right for a person to get a good feel for an MG, as does a couple of mags each for the rifles, subguns and pistols. IMHO.
“Also, to book outdoor shoots and weddings call 1-800-SHOOT.”
Certainly an indoor range has its advantages in some respects, but a more fulfilling experience would be outside with the MG’s at say 200 yds or so and some of the SF/FA rifles at 100.
While punching paper provides a souvenir for a person to take home with them, and/or some evidence they actually hit something besides the backstop and/or somebody else’s target, ( presuming they did ), at an outside shoot reactive targets might be worth considering.
Guessing that somebody’s already thought to make provisions to record the customer’s shooting experience for future viewing ( with sound of course for pleasurable listening at an acceptable decibel level ) but if not, might want to bring along someone with recording experience who knows what they’re doing to catch those joyful semi and full auto moments as they happen.
Since rumor has it that, the happier a person is with trigger time on full auto the less time the actual shooting lasts…one might also consider prearranging being able to buy more linked ammo or another mag or two while still at the firing line.
( Just thinking out loud you understand )
