Interesting that it says the mere possession of a full auto is prohibited.

Odd
You would think, based on their market, they would have no issues with legal FA. It could be liability or not wanting to attract unwanted attention. |

Considering the location and size of range, along with the stupidity of the general public, i can't really blame them.
Only indoor FA ranges I've been to had the ceiling and walls all shot up. |

On public ranges FA is a violation of their insipid "no rapid fire" policies.
Manchester State Forest Range also prohibits use of FA. |

Or they value their property. The indoor range near me burned down a few years ago because people didn't obey the range rules..... |

Oddly enough, most of the ranges that have allowed full autos have been indoor in my experience. Yes, an uncontrolled full auto can easily hit the ceiling but that seems to be more of a risk with rentals than owners. The likelihood of an inexperienced shooter going out and spending $10,000-$30,000 on a gun (not to mention the $18 per second worth of ammo these days) is remote at best.
I’ve seen plenty of ranges that didn’t allow full auto and had their ceilings shot up. Hell, the PSA Greenville range doesn’t allow full auto and check out their ceiling lol Oh well. As was mentioned I just thought with their big Pro-2A stance they wouldn’t have had such an issue with it. SCDNR I somewhat understand. Quote HistoryQuoted: Or they value their property. The indoor range near me burned down a few years ago because people didn't obey the range rules..... How does “possession” of a full auto cause a range to burn down? By the way SCDNR rules are written even if I have a full auto in my vehicle I am in violation and subject to trespassing. (Not that anyone would know, but it’s just a weird phrase to use) |

The range on Fernandina is OK for FA. They even rent them. I think the other ranges aren't built to the same standards and are restricted use because of that.

Doubt they are okay with FA when they're not holding you're hand with the rented guns. Range rules state no rapid fire. |

I've got an outdoor range if you're looking to shoot.

Ironically, the Greenville range had a rental M249, the last time I checked.

You are not correct. They do rent full auto weapons but they will not allow you to bring in Full Auto. I’ve tried. Now Pantano (sp) out in Swansea allows you to bring and shoot FA. |

I think Sharpshooters allows it. I know they used to do FA rentals at least.
