that looks like the range on blue diamond road. the last time i was there it was simply "here's the gun, here's the bullets, you're on number 2" They demonstrated how to shoot the mac 10 and the gun felt like it was going to fall apart and touching the trigger once unloaded the whole magazine immediately. i would imagine if someone wasn't holding it properly it would spin through the air as it unloaded itself. the one on flamingo was like 50 bucks for 12 bullets for the revolver. this one was $20 for a box of ammo that by the time i was done, i really didn't want to shoot anymore because the gun was a little too small for my hands. so OSHA as hell, but much cheaper so that's probably the one i'd go back to. You might die but $20 is $20.

Powershift posted:that looks like the range on blue diamond road. the last time i was there it was simply "here's the gun, here's the bullets, you're on number 2" I went to The Shooting Gallery in Orlando (right across the road from the local prison!) back in I think September 2015 to shoot some machine guns, since they're the closest place with guns to rent and they have a selection of interesting things like Thompsons and a Sten Mk. V. First safety concern: they do not have range officers. At all. They monitor the range from security cameras, but there's nobody physically on the range to handle problems. This is a big issue because anyone who demonstrates some modicum of competence will be allowed onto the range with a fully automatic submachine gun or assault rifle and no direct supervision. Because I didn't specifically ask for help, I was allowed to walk into the range with an AKM, a Thompson, an Uzi, and MP5K, and a Sten gun (along with a variety of handguns) by myself. This isn't a huge deal for someone like myself who's an experienced shooter and has fired automatic weapons before, but you'll see groups of college kids run out with a shotgun or Colt 9mm SMG that they barely know how to point. Second concern: awful care for their guns. I have to dig around for the picture, but the AK I fired was rusted on the inside and the trigger disconnector broke so it became permanently full auto. At one point the bolt locked back and I thought I was empty, until I remembered that the bolt doesn't lock back on AKs. When I finished the last magazine, the bolt was stuck forward on an empty chamber and the fire selector was incapable of being pushed up further than the middle position. The Uzi had a broken ejector (which they freely admitted to), so you needed to fire in short bursts and tilt slightly to the right to guarantee proper ejection. The Sten would mysteriously stop firing mid-burst for no apparent reason; it would function once you released the trigger and pulled again, but there was no telling how long you could fire before it would stop. The Ruger Vaquero had its detents for rotating the cylinder very slightly off from the loading gate, so you needed to hold the cylinder in the right position to eject casings and load new rounds. They also had no idea how the magazine loader for the Sten worked. They had one, but never learned how to use it. I had to puzzle over it with the manager at the counter to figure it out.

Being a gun instructor must be the worst job ever because you're probably going to get shot, probably dead, and people hear about it, it's just gonna be like "eh, sounds about right" "your uncle larry is dead" "oh no, that's so sad, how did he die?" "he was working as a gun instructor and someone accidentally shot him" "oh, well, makes sense then"

He is a beyond weird guy, and I'm not sure what he does now but regardless he lives far from Vegas now. This video is blowing up on my Facebook feed. He didn't stop working at that store until 2012. It's the Las Vegas Gun Range in case you want to avoid it.

I remember that place if only for the long rear end lines and too expensive prices to shoot an MP5. Didn't see any terrible instructor behavior though.

I hope someone at the CSB pulls a Park Service and goes rogue, recreating industrial accidents with cardboard, duct tape and shoddy camerawork. "The vibration caused the dust to become airborne *shakes cotton balls* which then ignited *makes 'bwoosh' sounds*. Fourty one workers and one local clown lost their lives that day."

Takeoff and landing are the most dangerous times for planes right? Just make VTOL for passenger aircrafts.

If the plane is being held stationary by the treadmill it can't take off, and if it's not being held stationary it'd still have to have room to get up to speed.
