I have 2 friends down state who have class 3 tax stamps one who owns a 1928 Thompson and the other has the same and a BAR.  I also know a couple of guys on a SWAT team and have got the MP5 experience. Life is  good as long as you can afford ammo!

I shot a couple 9mm Uzi's back in the 80's when they where popular. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with one (spray and pray). Kinda fun though.

So far I've shot a M14, Mac10, mini Uzi, AR in .40S&W and a Thompson. Hopefully in October I'll shoot some new ones maybe a BAR and a M1919.. I love machine guns!  Good poll!  ;D

  M - 60, M - 2 .50 cal, M -16, on the govt's ammo. The range I shoot at rents MP 5's, silenced or not Sterings, silenced or not Thompsons, MP40's, StG-44, AK, 47 or 74, They have a NICE little Walther SMG, an M-60 that jams about every third round and a bunch of other stuff. I don't have that kind of Ammo budget though :(

Burned a lot of Gub'ment ammo, .50 and down. Nothing like getting secondary explosions.

 :D  Too much fun in full auto, just expensive to do.  Haven't shot and 22 caliber yet this would be great.  I have shot 45,223 and 308.  Weapons Mac.10 ,  government issued M14,M4  and my most favorite was a grease gun!
Can't wait to own one specially since  I've started reloading.

Several FA's. Got to shoot a MP5 10 mm when I was considering joining the FBI. Browning 1919 and various M16 rifles at our range. Lots of AK's an FAL, and a PpSH at the last Red Jacket Birthday Bash with a bunch of the buds at the AKforum.net. Should be a blast this year too!!

Got to shoot M16 A1 at remote controlled airplanes. 20mm towed vulcan, also at remote controlled airplanes. 50 cal started a range fire with the tracers. Had to put out fire before we could clear range. Not fun in 100 degree heat. This was one of the few things that was fun to do in the Army. Was air defense artillery.

Draft Dodgers and cowards don't know how much fun they miss   ;D   Marines don't get to shoot at RC planes, (Carter probably didn't want to pay for them, that terror groupy $u(ks  ) but we put out our share of range fires, comes from using tracer in dry grass   ;D

Amen. I can't imagine someone like Obama or Hillary as commander in chief, in charge of the whole shbang with absolutely no experience, unless you count dodging sniper fire in Bosnia  :o

Those RC planes were tough to hit, because they were kind of small. They made them out of replaceable styrofoam parts, like wings and fuselage. To bring one down, you pretty much had to take out the motor. The vulcans were fun, sitting in the tubs, trying to shoot 30 rounds bursts.

I was in when that POS carter (friend of terrorists and dictators everywhere) was defiling the White House with his unqualified presence, Marines are REQUIRED to qualify at the range EVERY year, I got to go twice once in Boot camp and ONCE my last year, not enough money in the budget for AMMO, Several of my NCO's qualified for foodstamps and welfare WHILE ON ACTIVE DUTY, We commonly had to wait 6 - 9 monthes for repair parts.

Nothing can put a bigger smile on gun lovers face than full auto.  I recently went to a shoot in MI with a lot of full auto's.  Had a blast that day.  My wife liked the group so much she agreed to go to KCR in Oct, already made reservations.  Here's a video one of the guys made.

Actually I shoot less ammo now with the belt feds than any other form of shooting.

OH YEAH...MG's are fun.

Got to go to the OFASTS (Oklahoma Full Auto Shoot and Trade Show) last year (http://www.downrange.tv/player.htm?bcpid=452320104&bclid=459256134&bctid=1078545293).  You can walk up and shoot (for a small price) just dang near anything you want.  We popped supressed MP5's, M16's, 1919A4's (jeep mounted of course), P90's, etc.  They even had GE Miniguns to rent. 

Most cool when suppressed submachine gun.

My father is ex-SWAT so I've been able to go to the range and shoot his suppressed M-4A1.  Looking into purchasing a transferable M-16 here in the next few years now that the wife is out of med school.

1928, M1A1 Thompsons, M16's, MP5's, M3A1, Sterling, Sten, ZBvz26, FAL, PPSH41, 43, AK47, SW76, G18, 1919, MG34. MG42, STG44, BAR, M2 Carbine, G3.  Nothing beats the first time at the Knob Creek night shoot, at the front of the line with a 1928 Thompson and a 50rd drum, waiting for the first volley.  It was 100% pure luck that got me in there; someone got sick and I got to use their pass.  When everything started going downrange and I was spraying with the Thompson, I had a grin bigger than the Jokers.  It just doesn't get any better in full auto. And no one was shooting back.

I'm familiar with the rest but what are "ZBvz26" and "G18" ?

I just googled the VZ26... appears to be a Czech derivitive of the British Bren.

The G18 has to be the Glock 18  ;D What a list mmshooter! I hope to check off a few more at this years Westfield Machine Gun Shoot in October.

Even though they weigh alot, a Thompson "Tommy Gun" would be the one for me.

My local gun shop have one in semi auto, of course, used, and  is still about a grand.

Man that would be a literal "blast".

Oh, that (VZ 26) you might have it back wards, The Bren was based on a European design, but I forget what country,I THINK it was Czechoslovakia as they had a HIGHLY respected firearms industry before WWII. The letters "BR" come from Brno, the city where the original design was manufactured. The redesigned British version was manufactured by Enfield, hence the "EN". (Now lets see what spell check comes up with for that countries name  ;D   )

Had the chance last year to try several.  Went to a USPSA style match where the club put up five stages and brought in two dealers that rented the guns to us.  All guns were 9mm except two (one Russian with ammo in a "sardine can" and the other .556 - no shooting the steels with either of these)  Ran the course with an H&K, and then did some individual stages with several others.

Ranks right up there with one of the best, and fastest, way to spend $150!

Still   ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D   ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  Nine months later!

Yes that was the Glock 18.  The standard non-ported version makes the MG42 seem a bit slow.  The Ported version, G18C, with the tricky folding stock add-on that brings the muzzle ports within about 12 inches of your nose is a little bit like having someone hit you in the face with a shovel 33 times in 1.4 seconds.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.
