10 guns to shoot before you die?

[Charlotte the flyer]

The Desert Eagle is missing, I found that crazy to fire.

A 'must-do' for me is the MP-40, a trip to Las Vegas is needed I think!

For the hand grenade fans, there used to be a rumour that in Cambodia you could throw one at a cow for $50. You could do similar with a rocket launcher too.

At the Cu-Chi tunnels in Vietnam you can fire the M16, AK47 and M60. I tried all of them and really liked the M60

Desert Eagle .44auto Mag - fearsome muzzle flash! You could BBQ sausages with it.

The FN240 and M60 were just the Dogs Bits: Scottsdale Gun club for some of it:

Sten
Mini & full size Uzi
Full Auto AK, Mp5

Fired the select fire AR's plus FAl and G3 outdoors, WAHOO!

PLus a myriad of revolvers and semi auto pistols.

They have a Thomson and loads of other cool stuff.

Not sure if grenades are legal, I think not

[Rearlugs]

Oooh... done the whole list.


Not a very imaginative list IMHO, I think I'd have added a bit more variation to give a good cross section of firearms:

- a Brown Bess
- a large calibre double rifle
- an SMLE
- a Vickers or Maxim
- a PPSh41
- etc

[mag41uk]

I have done most of those too.
I would add Skorpion machine pistol in 32acp, Finnish Valmet with drum mag and a BAR.
And the Desert Eagle in at least 44, A Lahti in 20mm and Ma Deuce.

[piroflip]

well of the whole list I only ever shot (and owned) the 1911 (gold cup spec) and the real dirty harry special.

Tony Blair stole both of them.

Where I shot a lot of mine too :)

[Grizzly]

M4 (much like the M16) was a great rifle to shoot too, but The G36K outshot it by miles and felt all round like a better platform, it just didn't have that classic American Vibe to it...

G36, I like.

[TattooedGun]

Just found out the videos of me shooting and decided to upload to Youtube...

They feel a little embarressing because I had a "watcher" that i just passed the weapon to anytime there was an issue (as instructed).... most of the time I knew what to do to clear it, but he'd told him to pass it him if anything went wrong first... :(

They were certainly not about accuracy, I just wanted to empty the mag as fast as possible and TRY to hold it on target...!

5 out of 10...not bad for a 'civvie'.

No shotgun!?

It's the Thompson for me too - I'd like to try a prohibition era shoot...a BAR, Thompson, a pump action shotgun (not sure what model would be appropriate?) and a 1911 tongueout

Interesting about the .22 with a moderator, something of a novelty for our free friends but common place here.

Dougan: Civvies can fire all that stuff. Scottsdale Gun Club was where I did some. Awesome facility,well over a million dollars set up. And you should see the REAL machine gun shop a few yards away in the shopping strip !
