My first full auto experience was at a range in Georgia.
I shot a Thompson, an M3 (Grease Gun) and an MP5.

I then started going to the old Second Chance Bowling Pin Shoot. There were side matches with subguns there so I shot Reisings, more MP5s, more Thompsons and a MAC. On "the back range" MG dealers would let you shoot MGs for various prices for X amount of ammo. I shot a bunch of MGs there. Shot some more at a MG shoot in Minnesota some years later.
My list, so far.

Thompsons
M3 and suppressed M3
MP5 and suppressed MP5
Reising
Beretta M38/42 (two triggers one for waltzing, one for rock & roll)
UD 42 (rare US subgun made by Marlin during WWII)
M14 (Much more controllable than I expected.)
UZI
Full Auto Broomhandle Mauser
Full Auto Glock 9mm (dealer sample)
Madsen M50 9mm
Swedish K (Karl Gustav), forgot it earlier.
PPSH (fast Russky .30 cal subgun, cheap ammo)
ERMA 9mm
Various MACs
Tippman .22 MG (scale model of 1919)
Ingram M6 .45 ACP (rare Ingram MAC ancestor)
S&W M76
M16
AR18
AK47
Browning 1917 Watercooled
M2 Browning .50 Caliber (have never shot a 1919)

What do your FA lists look like?

Thompson
M16
Ak-47
Mac-11
.50 cal
Sten
Uzi
S&W M76 (at the NYPD range)
and maybe a few more but it was so long ago at a full auto shoot in Connecticut, I might have forgotten a few...I do remember bulging the barrel on the Thompson and how sad the guy who let me shoot it looked when he noticed it...
 
Only one, an original WWII vintage Thompson that is still part of our sheriff's department arsenal. (Can't beat a good thing)
 
Not as many as I used to back when ammo was afordable.

I did fire this bullet hose recently...

Thompson, M16, Uzi, grease gun, AK 47, Reising. If I could afford one and the ammo for it I'd buy an Uzi. It shoots from an open bolt and even when you are in a dirty windy desert it still keeps on ticking. I was shooting one on the day Uziel Gal ( the inventor ) died.
 
Three or four different Thompsons, an M60, a bunch of M16s, an M3 Grease Gun, a Glock 18, and several MP5s (9mm and 10mm).
 
M16A2 but I liked the 3 round burst better.

+1 to that.

M16
M2
M249
M240B
AK-47
Does a Mk19 count? It's full auto.
An SKS originally bought as semi-auto that had an 'episode'
Thompson
 
My list is more modest. M16A1, M14, M60, M2, Mac11, M3 grease gun, Thompson, MG42 AK47.
 
M2 Carbine
M1A1 Thompson
M16
Uzi
MP5, MP5SD
M60
BAR
AUG
M2 .50

Went to a full auto shoot recently with the wife and daughter. My wife turned out to have remarkable potential with the Thompson. Looks like that will be our vacation next year
 
Sir, my list is short: M16A1 and 'A2, M249, M60 (all courtesy of Uncle Sam) and an Uzi.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

I have been fortunate enough to shoot a bunch of MGs.

Ones I have not fired but would really like to include an M1919, a BAR and an M2 Carbine.

Never even got close to shooting a BAR. Almost shot an M2 at the shoot in Minnesota but a whole lot of folks got in line before I could and I had to leave.
 
Uzi
UMP40
UMP45
MP5
M16

UMP45 was probably my favorite. Too bad there's no way for us lowely civilians to own one.

Also shot the M16 lower with a 6.8 SPC upper...didn't think that counted as two.

Never anything belt fed, but would definitely like to change that some day.
