New weapons for a machine gun shoot

Machine gun shoot · June 4, 2012, 10:39 PM

I am looking to add a new weapon too my machine gun shoots. I have been throwing around the idea of a fully automatic glock 18 but I am not sure how many people are interested in shooting a fully automatic pistol. What other machine guns do you guys find interesting, besides the typical AK, and AR, style machine guns.

I don't find the full auto Glock hard to handle - some do. It is fun, though not really very practical. The HK MP5 is a possibility. The MP7 and FN P90 are fun (best if suppressed), but are expensive to feed. Look for things that shoot cheaper ammo, including .22LR. Finding transferables may be a challenge, unless you have an 07FFL and 02SOT to make your own.

Anything belt fed

The Sten gun. WWII era stamped metal guns are pretty cool.

American 180 gets my vote. Fires from open bolt. Cheap to shoot. (22s) Doesn't skip a beat. "And its fun!!"

I'd be willing to bet that a large number of people would be interested in trying a historical weapon like a Thompson, MP-40, PPsH-41, BAR, Bren, M2 Carbine, M1919A4, MG-42, or M2 .50. If you want to get really exotic and have the money, guns like the Lewis, MG-08, Vickers, M1917, Stg-44, and DP-28 would also probably bring a lot of interest.

We do Machine gun shoots quite a bit and I can tell you that the G-18 is always a huge hit!
