500+ rounds? Oh my heavens! He was either preparing for a mass murder or an hour at the range.
Lol and that’s an arsenal, I’ve gifted my friends and family more firearms than that.
500+ rounds of… probably 22lr…in a Winchester range pack lol
An hour? Some weapons firing cyclic would burn through 500 rounds in less than a minute.
Some highly regulated, very expensive to buy, and rare, weapons you mean. Full automatic weapons are far from the norm on any target range.
We’re in a thread with guys building ghost guns. You realize how easy it is to build an automatic ghost gun instead of a semi auto? One part built differently, that’s it.
As a retired toolmaker - yes, yes I do. And a whole lot better than you. And I actually posses the tools, skills, knowledge required to manufacture a firearm completely from scratch - a lathe, mill, drill press and even a 3D printer. I suppose technically, I’ve built several “ghost guns” myself over the years. I sourced all the parts individually, including a stock blank, fitted them all together and built a fully functional firearm. They were all muzzle loading rifles, but they were real firearms. There is a vibrant, though niche industry, that caters to us “mountain folk” and our desire to touch the history. It was a truly fun and educational process that gave some real pride of craftsmanship in the end product.
The point still stands - full auto weapons are very uncommon, legal or otherwise, in public hands and you for sure won’t ever see such a thing as a full auto ghost gun on a public target range. Even cops don’t get to own full auto weapons in the US. At least not without jumping through some very, very, very difficult and expensive hoops that pretty much make it impossible.
Public target range…ghost gun.
Do you really think someone is bringing a ghost gun to a public range? The whole point is so no one knows you have that gun.
Your quote was :Some highly regulated, very expensive to buy, and rare weapons.
Ghost guns aren’t any of those things. So if i build a ghost gun and drop an automatic firing pin in that bad boy i could have a gun that shoots 500 rounds cyclic.
The firing pin doesn’t matter. You need a special bolt and trigger assembly. Not the easiest thing to come by. Nor the hardest.
Assuming a 500 rd mag and the fastest trigger pull in the west, sure. 99% of people won’t be able to burn 500 in a minute
Cyclic implies automatic fire so really only one pull of the trigger.
