Sorry, I came off as abrasive in my previous post. It wasn’t intended that way, but clearly I should have re thought before I hit “post”.Sorry I thought we were having fun talking about things. Yeah we have talked before. To answer your questions:
1. No I did not keep track that you have one firearm set up that way. Do you find it a pain to switch it between suppressor and non suppressor settings? I usually pull my cans off a half hour between leaving the range to let them cool. So in the same range trip, I will shoot them both suppressed and unsuppressed almost every time.
2. No I did not know you were a Pro. Yes its a Hobby for me for sure. I am sure our trips are different. I am going to go out on a limb here and get the OP is looking at this as a hobby too as he did not state it was for work and most here seem to be hobbyists. But I could be wrong.
3. Yes, few people using guns for work are into MGs as a hobby as well. If you get to shoot them for free, rarely do they shell out all the cash it takes to shoot them as a hobby. Our club is not filled with Military and Police. We have a few but is not our average member. People are rarely as interested as we are in their work tools.
I don’t have any issues going back and forth er between suppressed and unsuppressed, except for with the shortie.
Again I really appreciate the passion you have for machine guns, and I hope you continue to bring converts into the hobby. The more enthusiastic people we have participating in firearms related activities, the better. My apologies for coming off like a jerk.
