Pretty sweet day

So went to the range today and was talking to some guy, little did i know he had a full auto MP5 he let me shoot. It was my first time firing an MP5 and they are impressive. The recoil on them is very smooth and on full auto still very controlable. To bad there so expensive, however, he had thousands of rounds of 9mm that i was quite jelous of as well.

Anyone else have experience with these??

My first time firing one, the guy who shot it before me left bullet in the barrel. We were shooting reloads and his last round must have been a squib. Fortunately for me, I only squeezed off one round instead of laying on the trigger. The barrel exploded, and the handguard broke apart. I only had a little burn, but I felt terrible. Fortunately, he had another one that I got to play with that day.
