I just tried it for fun... too expensive. You can send 40 rounds downrange in about 3 seconds and $60 bucks later.
They say paintball is a fun alternative with full auto and grenades too. Make a rural corn maze of death and offer prizes for those who can get through! They might even make an M2 .50 cal paint ball version that will knock them off their feet. If ya were in the south ya could reenact Pickett's charge. A paint ball cannon that fired bowling ball sized ones too! :lol:

As I was building my house back in 2001, we'd play Capture the Flag in the woods. There's an old dried up creek bed, big trees, plenty of places to hide and wait for an advancer. ... damn that was fun.

I covet the Model 41 and the (?) Schofield
The Model 52 (top right) is a target pistol that used wadcutter bullets in a 357 cartridge. It has the most light, crisp trigger of all the guns. The S&W revolver is a Model 19 (if I remember correctly) and is next to it for nicest trigger.

I remember reading about the 52 in old Gun Digests. It was set up for the very light load using the hollow-base 148-grain wadcutter. I loaded thousands of those when I was getting familiar with a revolver, but in .357 brass.

The other gun that tugged at me, but I never tried for one, was the single-shot Olympic free pistol by Hämmerli I think. It had an odd stock more like expressionist sculpture than the usual simpler shape. But I knew I was never gonna be good enough to operate one properly.

Build the maze, rent the guns, and safety gear. If you build it, they will come. Instead of "field of dreams" call it the field of nightmares! A mini-Ukraine even, like one of them there putting greens and have drones dropping paintball grenades outta the fucking sky with flash bangs going off. "We'll make you shit your pants or your money back"! :lol: The only family fun attraction that gives ya PTSD!

Most of the world just think Americans are crazy.
I don't understand how after every mass shooting there are cries for more guns and the ability to walk around with guns. Like, yea more guns are working just fine lets add more armed people walking around that will fix it. Other countries have shown what works but crazy Americans just don't seem to want to change.
More guns is always the republicans answer. Guy at work thinks arming kids would keep school shootings down :roll:

Yep, that would make recess fun and teachers had better watch out what they say to that strange quiet kid who always sits at the back...
Lower taxes would solve the problem too, they are the ones who want to defund the police, the schools, the fire department...

The GOP are not interested in fixing anything. All they do is throw monkey wrenches in anything the government is responsible for in a effort to break it. They want to destroy the current system so they can build a new one with their own wack job rules.
Didn't they make a movie about that called idiocracy.

This whole family seems a bit "nuts"..
They are not fit to use cutlery, much less own guns FFS, grandpa is a wingnut Maga republican. The poor little bastard was cursed from birth and was a time bomb waiting to go off. Guns ain't cheap and neither is body armor, and he looks unemployable to me, did mom buy it for him, weapons and body armor? How do these fucking losers make a living anyway.

Wonder how many times he had his nose broken. Maybe start with the fucktard Father to see where it goes? Not giving a victim card for the suspect. But there are roots that need digging.

Repeating the age old phrase "It's not the gun, it's the people". My guns, my families guns, friends guns have never mysteriously gone on a shooting spree after decades of owning them. So, here's the question... Is it easier to fix the people, or the guns? Who knows? The difference is people can hide thier thoughts and feelings and actions. Guns do not. They are a tool like a hammer, shovel, or axe, or dirty bomb. Any of these can be used to create mass deaths ONLY if the person decides to do so. Guns do not change thier feelings about something. They sit dormant, and only act if used by the every changing emotions of the human mind.

..adding onto this. Mass violence does create a spike in gun sales. It's only natural. They want to feel more safe in Walmart, or Costco, etc. What percentage of that spike really creates more mass shootings?... I don't think it matters. It's the human breed that has defective pheno types that cannot be stopped if allowed to have access to any type of tool to take another human life. Hell, you can walk into any Farm/Home store, and buy a 5 ft piece of zip tie and come upon a random stranger or someone that offends your agenda and make a loop, sneak up behind them, slip it around the neck and jerk it hard. They gonna die before someone with a pair of dykes, snippers, pocketknife within a couple of min. It's all relative.

They are not tools they are weapons, and many are weapons of war. There will always be lunatics and the mentally ill, but they don't need such easy access to weapons of mass destruction. You can hunt with a bolt action as well as a semiautomatic and unless you hold a hunting license or are a target shooter yer wasting your money. I realize attitudes are different in the country than the city and I grew up with guns in the house and used to hut as a young man with my dad and lived on the edge of a small town. Attitudes can change, years ago my best friend who is a retired forest ranger used to give the gun safety course and he told me fewer and fewer people were bothering to get hunting licenses. People have become urbanized and lost their connection to the land, in many places wildlife is recovering and invading the towns and cities, to most people's delight and some annoyance. I've fired all kinds of guns from pistols to machineguns and was C2 man in my squad, I'm no expert, but I know how to use them and a bit about them.
