Got to shoot a full-auto MP5 for my birthday!

My girlfriend surprised me with a great birthday gift -- a trip to the range to rent a full-auto gun!

It was an HK MP5A2, fixed stock with an 8.9" barrel. I got to fire 200 rounds through it, which of course went by insanely fast. It was so much fun....and surprisingly controllable. I was able to keep almost all rounds on a standard B27 target at 10-15 yards, even when I went through an entire 30-round magazine in one long burst. With short bursts it was pretty easy to keep everything in the 8-ring at the same distances.

I still have a huge grin on my face over 24 hours later. Best birthday present ever!
