Come to discount firearms to experience what firing a machine gun really feels like at our 14 lane indoor firing range. The following is a brief synopsis of the life of machine guns.
Thompson "Tommy" Gun USA .45ACP
The Tommy gun was notoriously known to be used by criminals and police during the times of Prohibition. It was favored because it was compact, fired large .45 caliber ACP bullets, and had a comfortable ergonomic design. In order to replace the popular bolt action rifles of the time, General John T. Thompson developed a mechanism absent of complex recoiling or gas powered mechanisms. Instead, his invention was based on adhesion of inclined metal surfaces under pressure. This makes it able to reach cyclical rates of almost 1,200 rounds per minute.
M-16 USA .223Rem - 5.56x45mm (Nato)
Since the Vietnam War in 1963, this gun has been the primary weapon for the United States Military. In order to decrease user fatigue while adding faster follow-up shots, an ergonomic feature serves as a recoil buffer making this machine gun stand apart from others.
MP-5, German 9mm
The MP-5 is one of the most commonly used sub-machine guns in the world. When firing the MP-5, the shooter will notice that while looking through the aperture sight to aim, the gun's scope design allows for the eye's natural ability to align concentric circles (or circles with a common center point) enhancing shooter accuracy.
AK-47, Russian 7.62x39mm
AK-47 stands for Automatic Kalashnikov, 1947 Model. Its ruggedness, reliability, ease of use, and low cost of manufacturing make this weapon one of the most commonly used machine guns in the world. The service life for an AK-47 is between 20-40 years depending on care conditions.
Uzi, Israeli 9mm
The Uzi is one of the first submachine guns to use a telescoping bolt design. This means that the magazine is housed within the pistol grip decreasing the size of the weapon.
M-2 Carbine, USA .30cal
Used by the United States Marines during the Korean War, the M-2 is a selective fire version (capable of fully automatic) of the M-1.
STEN, British 9mm
The STEN is a great short range weapon, most effective around 300 meters (~990 ft), was used extensively by the British during World War II.
