Silenced pistols and full autos

frozentorso · 07-24-2007, 09:51 PM

Got to shoot my first pistol with a silencer today. Really cool! It was a little Walther .22 with a screw on silencer. Sounded like a cap pistol. Oh, yeah, what made it extra cool was shooting it in a liquor store! Going to Vegas Thursday and plan on going to The Gun Store and renting a full auto. Any recommendations? I can choose from the Uzi, Sten, AK47, MP5, Thompson M1A1, and others. I need to take into consideration the cost of feeding them also.

Go for the Thompson or AR 15 if they have an AR 15. Have fun...A.H

Wouldn't it be an M16 if it's select fire?

frozentorso · 07-24-2007, 10:12 PM

Anyone know the rate of fire for the Uzi? I'm thinkin it could get expensive, like $5 per second.

Take the Thompson , just from a historical stance it was the one weapon we had the Germans learned to hate with a vengence, cost of feeding it don't sweat it. For what it's worth I'd trade a couple days pay for a short afternoon with a Thompson

I'd go for the Thompson too! It's heavy, and just oozes "class"!
I've shot the STEN and MP5. The MP5 is good, in typical German fashion.
I've also shot the shorty AK Krinkov - Bin Laden's favorite gun. Pretty good shooter in 5.45 caliber!
The ultimate is the Austrian Steyr AUG, if the y have one - now that thing is all about 'surgical precision'!

Ive fired a Thompson and you are right ...that thing weighs a ton!
not accurate, expensive, unwieldy and very very cool!

Don't blink or you will miss all the fun.

cubbieman · 07-25-2007, 05:59 PM

if cost matters get something in .22 LR, unless you were wanting something bigger

scoutman · 07-25-2007, 06:03 PM

go for the Thompson they are awesome

frozentorso · 07-25-2007, 06:07 PM

I do believe they have the Steyr. I think its gonna be between it, the Uzi, and the MP5, just for the sake of U tube coolness. Did anyone pick up on the fact that I was shooting in a liquor store? I didnt think you guys would miss that!

billy · 07-25-2007, 08:11 PM

i figured it was a vegas thing.

ezearln · 07-25-2007, 08:14 PM

LOL well guys I know it ain't my choice but I'd still go for the Thompson and for what it's intended for it isn't all the inaccurate.

jasoncaz · 08-16-2007, 02:32 PM

where can i find out how to make one the right way?

One of the ironies of WWI, the Germans thought poison gas was okay, but the Winchester 1897T was uncivilized and threatened to execute prisoners captured with shotguns.

george_l · 08-16-2007, 06:20 PM

I'd go with the thompson too. I've never shot one but heard it's quite an experience.

ezearln · 08-16-2007, 06:23 PM

George I guarantee you a Thompson and a 1000 rds of 45 ACP is the most fun you can have with yer clothes on! LOL
