i dont know if i'd bring any full auto stuff. i would end up having to babysit all of it since i'm legally responsible for them all, and somehow i think it would turn into a thing where where people show up each with 500 rounds of ammo and expect to be able to shoot all that through a machine gun since they went to WalMart and bought 10 boxes. yes, i've met people that get pissed that they spent $40 of their hard earned money for 500 rounds and get pissy when i tell them i didnt want them using my MG as a bullet hose.
sure, i may be assuming, you'll say, since they could have brought some of the ammo to shoot in their own personal guns. but when they show up with a 200-round ammo belt that argument is quickly thrown out the window.
it's happened before.....i've invited one person to go and somehow he invites another friend or two without telling me and they show up with 1000 rounds and all expect to feed it through my machine guns. then i end up basically being a free rental service and get stuck cleaning weapons later.
its been my experience that when you bring F/A to the range, people who you don't know will come up to you and expect to shoot it. i mean people who aren't even a part of your group will come out of the woodwork and expect you to let them shoot it or at least handle it, or else, you're just a selfish C3 owner.
so i tend not to do that anymore, because in the end it's just more stress and labor for me. i end up having to babysit a bunch of weapons instead of having a good time, then i have to clean them all up.
not that i don't trust anyone, but just because someone is on THR doesn't mean i will just hand them a machine gun. i have talked to another local C3 and he have talked about hosting a MG shoot sometime but that would be something completely different.
i'd probably show up with a personal semiauto longarm and a pistol instead. lately ive had alot of people "invite me shooting" which equates to "please show up with your machine guns so i can shoot them."
anyway im off my soapbox lol.......but i'd love to attend!
