Fortunately I've had the pleasure of sampling what got Mr. Kalashnikov pointed in the right direction as a friend has an operational StG43/MP44 and let me just say it's an absolute joy to operate. Although on a recent outing we found some of collectible original WWII issue ammo got mixed into the range box. Woops! Fortunately at only about 600RPM not too much got downrange before we caught on!



Looks like you just missed an event this past weekend but there's a range near you in Fernley that hosts machinegun shoots, so you may want to keep an eye on their site for future events: http://www.mustangrange.org/
Yes, I have held a StG43 before, talk about sweet (heavy tho). I would LOVE to have one. Yeah,the Father's Day shoot, wish I coulda went, but I was in San Fran all weekend for another event.

I have been to Knob Creek 4 times tho, shot a full auto MP5, Mac 11, AK, a Thompson!! Lotsafun!

I have a Yugo Zastava M76, its really nice, not chinsey feeling like some of the other crappy AK variants out there (like the Century Arms crap and the Egyptian Maadi). I also have a SIA AK pistol which is *quite* fun to shoot. And I just love my SKS Sportster!

I would like to get into the 54R arena tho, with a nice SVD or NDM-86, and a Mosin Nagant.
