We charge $15 to shoot a 30 round mag through the AK-47 or M-16, or $30 to run a 50 round belt through the MG-42.  That price includes the ammo.  It may seem a little high, but one of us has to stop what we are doing, go out back, give them a runthrough on safety, and show them how to do it.

mickey, $15 per mag on the shoulder fired seems to be the going rate of the rental guys i've questioned that are coming to bulletfest.

as i am treating the vendors 'right', i have specifically requested everyone to keep their prices as reasonable as possible.

btw, i'll donate some ammo to the awms kitty and toss the guns i have into your racks.

tell the greek i'm gonna make him work his ass off showing folks how to shoot machineguns! heheh!

Been told of about 1 jam per mag on a Las Vegas - rented MP5, FYI.

Perhaps they didn't clean it often enough......

Thanks guys!!


Needed an idea about "the going rate".  Let me tell you, at $1.00 / rnd this stuff I linked for the 1919 would be under priced.  Way big PIA!
