Cache of guns stolen from LAPD

Your neighbour has excellent manners for a child rapist.

Figure I might as well post it in this thread... just got back from shooting my first ever machine gun. My little sister took me out to rent and shoot a full-auto Thompson for my birthday. What a great kid, that one!

Did you have a problem with muzzle climb?

I shot a few rounds on semi before I switched... the muzzle jumped a bit on the first mag but after that I went through a couple hundred rounds without any trouble. My sister (17) shot it too, and put a couple of holes in the ceiling. It was worth the $25 damage fee for the laugh, I only wish I had the video camera rolling on that one.

Eight year old boy was killed at a machine gun shoot in, I believe, Virginia a year or so ago. He was shooting a Mac 10 style submachinegun and the "minder" wasn't paying enough attention. When the child fired, he wasn't holding tightly enough and didn't have the stock extended and the muzzle flipped up and back, hitting him in the head with one round.

They aren't toys and it's nothing to laugh about.

On the other hand, when I was 12 or so my family visited the old FBI building and I met J. Edgar Hoover and got a personal tour of the building and had the opportunity to shoot a Thompson in the basement range. If it has a Cutts Compensator on it, muzzle climb is significantly reduced.

I was fifteen when I went full auto the first time. I put a lot of holes in the clouds that time.

It was in Massachusetts, not far from me, and I believe it was a Mini Uzi. Trust me, I'm aware of the incident. But there's a big difference between an eight year old boy with a light, hard to control machine pistol, and a 17 year old girl with previous firearms experience with a hefty submachine gun. I figured the absolute worst case scenario would be her putting a hole or two in the ceiling and I'd have to pay for it. If I had any reason to think anything more might happen, she wouldn't have even gotten to touch the gun. She was smart about it too, she went through a magazine on semi before she switched to auto, and when after that burst put a couple in the ceiling she decided that was enough shooting on auto and went back to semi.

They aren't toys and it's nothing to laugh about.

No, they're not toys, but they are fun to shoot. And yes, it is something worth chuckling over. She's not the first person to put holes in the ceiling and won't be the last, and the ceiling was the only potential casualty of the afternoon. Well, that or the target carrier.

We fired the old WW2 Bren gun on an open-air range when we were in cadets at school, plus the old Lee-Enfield .303... Fuck of a kick when you're a weedy 16 year old...

Plus field stripping the Brens...

We had a guy claim he could fire Ma Deuce from the hip. He was wrong.

Bet it was worth a laugh to watch him try, though.

From a safe spot, yes. Boy didn't seen to know how to let go of the butterfly.
