[Machine Gun Shoot]

Do you guys prefer scopes, open sights, forward grips, hand guards, bipods? Also, what style of stocks do you prefer? I am attempting to set up all of the machine guns with a “universal set up” to help make the guns more comfortable for everyone who shows up, and I find that my expertise sometimes gets in the way of the simplicity that many love to enjoy (not meaning to be arrogant at all! just want you guys to know why a specialist like myself would start a thread like this). I would like to make sure everyone who attends can shoot machine guns comfortably. I know we all like our weapons set up to suit our personal needs and preferences, but in this case I need a simple / universal setup that will work well for folks of all sizes and skill levels. I am specifically referring to the setup of the AR-15, AK-47, and MP5.

“universal set up” to help make the guns more comfortable

Half the fun of going to a shoot is trying different things. I would vary the setups as much as possible. If it were a class, that's a different story, but for a full auto shoot, I would leave the HK's stock (hard / expensive to accessorize, anyway), leave the AK's stock (except maybe changing out the furniture) and if you have multiple M16's, I would do them up different ways (some with foregrips, some without, some with scopes, some with red dots).

I think our leg is being pulled.

Me too. An expert would know the answer.

I hope he has fun on his "full auto" shoot. :)

An adjustable stock goes a long way to making guns comfortable, forward grip? I'm not a fan of them but a lot of people do like them.

Yep.

The third word of the thread title IS "setup".
Kind of ironic.
