Scotch and Shoot
A bit pricey but might be the only opportunity some of us will ever have to shoot full auto.

If you get to shoot that entire list full auto, the price isn't bad. I shot the Thompson, MG42 and M16 at Sturgis, and it wasn't cheap. They can keep the Scotch and cigars though.

Not bad price, would depend on how much ammo included per firearm.
I've went to Vegas and did full auto couple of times. Pick 4 or 5 and 50 rounds of ammo, around $400.
Bren is cool to shoot.

Price is fair, depending on how much ammo you get, then again it is a charity event. I know the 50 cal. rounds at Big Sandy were five bucks each, so burning up a couple hundred bucks, was pretty easy.

^ I was going to say the same, but thought other probably know better. Highly doubt there are any full auto involved.
Edit: just a bit of looking into it, they are probably full auto. So someone does know better, lol.

Haha and I remember the days we used to burn 40mm grenade cans full of .50 just to use it up. 300 rounds linked is pretty fun out of a ma deuce.

If you want to shoot full auto, and you happen to be around Sturgis during bike week, they had a big variety at a pit near where we stayed. You could shoot bowling pins etc outdoors, without being in a short, narrow shooting lane.

Many years back, the firing line had a deal to shoot the sterling and a Mac 10. The only requirement, aside from being a member as I recall, was purchase the ammo. Quite an experience! This would be a real fun evening, again depending on allotment of ammo!!!
This was long before the turd came up with many of his OIC gun laws, but I'm sur there are some ways around the nonsense!!

I called. "Yeah, some are full auto." is all he said.
But I specifically remember when they first brought in the Uzi and Tommy Gun as range guns that one of the employees told me there were no longer full auto...
Cheers !

Wow, that was fun, got to shoot full-auto guns for the first time tonight. Tried one of the Tommy Guns and an UZI in one of the pistol bays, and an M-16 and Sig 552 Commando in the rifle bay. The Sig was frick'n awesome, but the M-16 was super cool too. I didn't get a chance to try the MAC-10 though, but there were some fund choices, and everyone shooting had huge grins on their faces.
