The cost is given on the website link i have shared in a previous reply.

The only cost that is not mentioned is that of the M16, for which i was charged 2500 baht for 20 rounds. This is the fastest way to blow 5 grand :P

Absolutely sir. It was worth every penny. Had my better half not been there to reel me in I would have had a few more gos at it :P
I would highly recommend it despite the costs.

There is a gunshop near me that hosts an annual gun show where you can shoot any number of machine guns. Usually 4 guns, 120 rounds = $60 US. or you can choose to shoot a single mg with more ammo as long as you are willing to pay. For example, I think the M249 SAW(100 rounds) was $50, etc. They have Cold War era weapons, WW2 weapons, modern weapons, etc.
There are a number of these all over. Google Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot.

Here are some of the different full auto wepons at their location.

So far, the full auto firearms that I have fired (at that location):
1. Russian PPSH
2. German MP40
3. US M3 Grease gun
4. UZI
5. Thompson Submachine Gun
6. AK47
7. AK47U
8. AK74
9. M4
10. M16
11. M1919 .30 cal Browning MG

Wow! How about planing an IFG meet at some thing like this in the coming year. We all could meet up with each other plus we could also shoot to our hearts content!

JOKES APART - "NEVER ENTER A SHOOTING GALLERY OR RANGE AFTER CONSUMING ANY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE"
If you do so "You are violating one of the BASIC rules of Safety while handling guns - Firearms / Air arms etc...."
Shooting is a serious sport - Make safety Your Priority.....
