Default Ever Fired A Fully Automatic Machine Gun?

Well,
I'm here at the IBM Conference at the Mirage in Las Vegas. I connected up with one of the Account Execs and he took me to the world reknown "Gun Shop" where it is the only place in the United States where you can legally rent and fire fully automatic weapons on their firing range. That Osama Ben Laden target is swiss cheese. Die Bast#$d

We fired:
Thompson Machine Gun (M1A1)
M-16
MP5
and some other military machine gun that require a stand near the front of the barrel.

Freekin awesome.

They had a rocket launcher on the wall but unfortunately they wouldn't let me rent it for a couple of minutes.

Now if the airport detectors sniff my luggage on the way home I am in a world of hurt.

Holy Cr**!!! I think I'm going to need a bail bondsman.

A local sportman's club has an annual event where you can fire just about anything. News coverage showed several M60's and an M1919 .30 Browning. I've also heard they've had an M2 .50 in the past.

The Atlanta club had a "Office Stress relief day"
(think "Office Space"-the movie, but with guns)
We had 8 computer monitors that we used as targets for our firing range.
One member pulled out his AK-47 and unleashed 78 rounds on a monitor.

Almost every day for 2 years in Vietnam/Laos. There is an indoor shooting range in Manchester, NH that you can rent various full automatic weapons for use at the range. Great fun. Kinda boring if nobody is shooting back at you.
