I'm lucky - used to have a Class III dealer thats a good friend, and I've been able to shoot his toys a lot. M60s, M16s, Thompson's, MP5s, HKs of various descriptions and calibers, Reisings, MP40s etc. My favorite has been his American 180 and a fully supressed MP5. Was cool to be able to take ear protection off and shoot - the only sound was the working of the action and the tinkle of 9mm brass on the concrete.

He moved about 3yrs ago and started medical school and I lost touch. I don't know if he's maintained his license or not. He had a surprising amount of sales/turnover.

If you're up for it try to attend one of the big shoots like Knob Creek, an unbelievable experience -
