AAR New Years Eve 12-31-10 Annual Machine Gun Shoot (pic heavy)
Every year we hold a machine gun shoot at my club, usually on New Years Day, but because of conflicting match schedules, we moved it to New Years Eve. Either way, it's a great way to ring in the new year.
We have a good collection of NFA owners in VA, friendly group of people who don't hesitate to let people shoot their very expensive toys. The best way to keep the hobby alive is to infect new people with NFA Disease.
My buddy Sam, who is one of the owners of the SOT I sometimes consult for, United Armament, organizes these shoots. Without a doubt one of the best guys walking the planet.
We had a wide variety of shooters, from the very experienced like Tom (subzero here), to extremely novice shooters who had their first taste of full auto freedom.
As far as belt feds, we had two MG-34's, several HK 21E's built by TSC, a Maremont M60 GPMG, and a C&R Browning M1917A1.
Select fire battle and assault rifles included HK G3's and G3K's, a Vollmer/HK 51A2, HK 33's and 33K's, HK 36C and HK 416 10.5" (post '86 DS), M16's and an AK.
Sub guns that made an appearance were a General Motors M3 Grease Gun, UZI's, MP-5's, a Sterling Mk.4 (mine), MAC's, MP-40, and a PPSh-41.
There was a whole lot of history represented at the shoot.
Great time was had by all, with safety being paramount. No incidents, everyone was safe and there was a lot of sharing between owners. A fair amount of non NFA owners were there and I'm sure many of them are now scheming and squirreling away funds to acquire something with a go-fast switch.
Anyway.....pics, there are plenty of them.
