My lovely wife decided for a my b-day to get an afternoon with a guy who rents guns for you to shoot! I haven't decided the couple I'm going to shoot from the extensive list yet, but here are a couple I'm pondering. He has a range with moving targets to shoot as well.

Glock 18, Beretta 93r, Stectchkin, Steyr TMP, Skorpion, Mac 11, Mac 10, Uzi, Steyr Mpi 81, Swedish K, M3A1 Grease Gun, PPsH43, Thompson 1928, HK MP5K, AK47, M4, M16, LR300, PKM, FN-FAL, 1918 BAR, 1919A4, and G36K among others. I didn't know what half of the guns were, so I wikipedia searched them to see!


Included in the package I'm getting are two belts with a .50, and 2 40mm grenades.

He also offers the opportunity to shoot a GE Mini Gun, (for those of you that remember it is what Jesse Ventura carries in Predator) however, it is $1.00/round with a 500 round min. (He said it is so expensive b/c it is such a hassle to set up and it is electric.)

That is awesome!

Marvin,

Tell us what you shot.

For all of you unfortunate people out there, I shot an HK MP5K, Thompson 1928 (Tommy Gun), G36 , PKM (freestanding, with bipod folded up), 1918 BAR (freestanding, doesn't kick bad, b/c it weighs 16lbs.), .50 , an M60, and one other that I cannot remember that was .30 full auto assault rifle. And two 40mm chalk grenades (he said he had real ones but didn't bring them)

Sorry, I was unable to get some of the links to work. We shot the .50 (with armor piercing incindiary shells at a burned out 34" TV, it almost literally blew up! You could see flashes when it). Other than that, the G36 was a lot of fun, optional single, 3-round burst or auto,very neat optics and surprisingly easy to hold on target. The MP5 was neat, but was so light it climb up the target quickly (though with practice it is probably much easier). I held down the trigger on the M60 for the full clip and after the first couple rounds couldn't see anything! (it is clearly a fire suppression weapon)

For any of those interested, I can give you his contact info (I don't have it on me now). He mentioned he is starting to do a bunch of large groups and bachelor parties, if anyone needs an idea for one.

Do you have any idea what your wife paid?

[Marvin]

Not positive, but I think it was $150-$200.
