Default zootshooting

Hi All,

I saw this over on the Fedora Lounge and thought that I need to start saving my hundred dollar bills. As this could be REALLY FUN to drive up, skid to a stop, jump out and start blasting away at paper targets.

The WW2 Thompson looked real enough but some of the others might have been replicas? A real one costs like 10 model A though and i think the license is really hard to get!

One of those Thompsons was real anyway. When I shot a Thompson, I was told to try to shoot only one shot at a time. But who wants to fite a MG like a semi-auto? I wanted to have some fun and held the trigger back and cleaned a 20 round stick magazine in no time and walkled way with a big smile on my face! I wonder if they were holding it down to one shot as well or did they have some Eagle carbines (semi-auto, Thompson looka likes).

I was able to fire a Thompson at a range with my family this summer. I started with semi just to see how it reacts, then went full auto. The best $50 I spent and the fastest! But I had blast and my sister even fired it, and she had never fired a gun bigger than a .22, an hour before.
