google 'knobcreek' they hold a machinegun shoot there every year and I am sure someone would loan or rent you the weapons you are dreaming about. they are way to pricey for me....who's got 35,000 dollars for a colt 1928 thompson? 12,000 for an mp-4o? an fg-42? sold for over 100,000 at auction! yikes!
