My Marksmanship Club today held an open range day for a fund raiser. Our feature gun was a 9mm full auto Mac-11. Our other big guns were a .45 cal internally silenced AR-15 and a 9mm AR-15 with a 5" short barrel and optional silencer. We had two glock 9mm with one having a silencer on it, a luger (which broke unfortunately), two .45 cal handguns, two more 9mm pistols, two revolvers, and of course all of our .22 caliber handguns and rifles. We sold Mac-11 32-round magazines for ten dollars and everyone loved it. If you're going to have a fundraiser, that's the way to go. Other than that, ammo was 25 cents a shot for 9mm/.45, revolver ammo for 20 cents, and .22 ammo went at 25 rounds for a dollar.
It started at about 8:30am and went on until about 4:00pm. We ran out of 9mm at about 11:00 and went to go buy 3k more as we started selling our reserves that "dont exist". The fresh 9mm arrived about 12:30, but by then we has literally sold all our reserve. The .45 went more slowly, but we did have some time where all they could really buy was that, so it eventually ran out at about maybe 1:00. We ran out of the 3,000 9mm rounds we bought as extra at about 2:00. Yes, we sold 3k rounds in an hour and a half. In total, we're estimating we sold over 6,000 rounds and most likely close to 7,000. I dont know exactly how much we netted and grossed, but I know the net would at least be enough to cover my rent for 2 or 3 months.
I was selling ammo up till we ran out, so I didn't get a chance to go around taking many pictures, but I did get a few videos towards the end. Below are some short quick time videos I took off my camera. The last two are me shooting a magazine from the Mac-11 pre and post jam. BTW, I have a legacy in the club for being able to get any weapon I shoot to jam within the first couple of times.

The Mac-11 had a lot of kick with the way it was set up. I cant remember exactly what the guy did, but the current setup was setup for a really fast rate of fire. In each of those bursts, I shot 5 or 6 rounds. Not to mention the collapsible stock. That thing was soo fucking uncomfortable. It was just a piece of metal pretty much. More pics and videos later perhaps.
