What Full Autos Have You Fired?

I've only had the pleasure of firing a few: M16, M14, M60, USAS-12 (FUN!), and a FA suppressed 10/22 (also FUN!).

Oh..and an M1 Garand once, but that wasn't supposed to happen. :eek:
 
Amazing how many you can remember when you think back. Ahh, the advantages of hanging around a machinegun dealer.

Had most fun with the Mp-40, probably put close to 10K rounds through that one. Fun shooter but bounced around alot in my opinion. Second most fun was the '28 Thormpson with 50 rd drum. Loved to empty that mag without stopping, probably put 5-7K through the Tommy with never a jam. Thompsons are very accurate. The most troublesome was the MG-34. It was a mint Czech made gun dated 1945, hard to belive they were still making those at the end of the war. It would jam up every 20 rounds. We were using surplus Portugese 8mm with brass cases. Extractor would rip the rims off the brass. Those german guns were actually made for steel case ammo, but that was impossible to find. I thought the UZI was very heavy, but very accurate. Technically the MP-5 was the most effective and modern, very Nice gun. So it goes.

Thompson ( not Colt), HK G3k (fire breathing beast), Ruger ac556 (supposedly from a early '80's South American contract), M-16, with and without suppressor (believe it or not, the unit quiets down 3,000fps pretty well but you can light a cigarette off it after 5 rds), and HK MP5 sd (Just like shooting those air powered guns at the fair where you shoot out the star, except for the brass flying everywhere off the partition). If I could afford one of my own, it'd be a MP5 PDW. Joe
