Thread: First time shooting a fully automatic rifle!

I like to dream. So far, our government has failed to keep my favorite arms out of my dreams. Now if I can just find a good landing strip for my A10!!!

And that is not the only one. As for my first full auto, if I remember correctly it was an Uzi, which...

I just sold one, as a matter of fact. not impling that that i can bump at 900 RPM, i was saying that maybe i was expecting to much. plus if the 9mm cobray shoots at that rate the 25 round mags i was shooting should have been emptied in under two seconds. once again i wasnt timing it so im just going off what it "FELT"...

the MP-5 i run 2 mags through it, no bursts just holding the trigger down, hardly any muzzle climb, what sucks is how much the semi clones cost, coharie arms had an ad in the shotgun news for a semi MP-5 for 975 and thats as cheap as i've seen them

Actually, in the military...........firing for qualification does not include any full auto fire. Everyone in the military must qualification with their issue weapon at least once a year. Most do, some fake it, and some even fake qualifying without ever firing their weapon. These folks are normally officers and senior NCOs. On the other hand.........special troops get to do special things, including firing full auto with a number of different...

AKnut, I agree with you completely... so, lets say they do allow us civilians to purchase newly manufactured MG's now, great! The problem is, they'll adjust the tax stamp for inflation to something ridiculous like $10,000 and we'll be in the same boat... not only will M16's and HK's continue to be out of the reach for most of us, but now $3000 M11's and $5000 Uzi's will cost an additional $10,000 for the tax...

Once you shoot full auto, everything else is a pales in enjoyment. The next time you shoot your semiauto what-ever, not going to be as satisfying ever again.

the local indoor range my me rents fa mp5s...gonna try it in a few weeks...they also have a m16 in 9mm but i want to try that mp!
