My 1st full auto experience!!!
I got to fire my 1st full auto weapons this weekend!
I have to tell someone who cares, my wife just thinks it's a waste of ammo.:mad:
I however, LOVE IT!!!!
1. I got to fire a HK 416 10.5 suppressed.
-Suppressor - Gemtech I believe, it was starting to get dark and I wanted to get in as much shooting as I could, so I didn't think to read all the markings:o. It was so quiet you could fire without plugs and actually hear the bullet whistling as it went downrange.:D
-Optic- Ta33 with a red horse shoe. I really like this optic!
-HK Mags- didn't have any problems out of the 100 or so rounds fired.
- XM193, no issues.
-After it got dark, we used a 3rd gen nightvision optic mounted in front of the ACOG. I do not know the type other than it was white vs green. Jeez, literally looked almost like daylight. You could see individual leaves ontrees and read license plates on vehicles. I can really see why we dominate the night.
General observations: It was very easy to hit cans at 25 yards with a 3 round burst, we were also hitting steel with a 3 round burst at between 25 and 35 yards. More that 3 or 4 rounds it would begin to climb off target. Even though it is gas piston, you still get a puff of gas in the face with every shot. Nothing bad, just didn't realize it would do that.
2. Hungarian AK-47 with a milled receiver.
-Basic fixed stock gun
-Wolf 123gr "military" ammo
General Observations: Fun to shoot, makes lots of sparks on the steel targets, climbs very bad. I own a semi Polytech AKS and this rifle felt quite a bit heavier but it still climbed really bad. I am going to try one of the stamped receiver guns next time. The most I could get out of it in one burst was about 6 rounds before I let off due to not wanting to shoot over the berm. I can see why the Haji "Trust in Allah spray and pray" doesn't work.:sarcastic:
3. Last but most fun, H&K MP5A3 Silenced.
-It was not an integrally silenced unit. It had a Gemtech, on it I believe.
General Observations: The absolute most fun of the all to shoot. You could literally flip it over to full auto, lean into the gun and rip an entire magazine into the steel at 25 yards with no hearing protection at all. Just a PFFFFTTTTT and CLLLAAAANNNNGGGG! It was AWESOME! I realize that the HK 416 was more "effective" but I greatly preferred the MP5 for sheer fun factor. I didn't like the location of the safety. Too far forward, I had to shift my thumb way forward to swith to the "many red bullets" marking:ph34r:
They didn't have any linked up 5.56 or 7.62 this time but next time I am up we get to rock the M240B and the M249.:neo:
If you ever get the chance, jump on it with both feet!!!
