Last week when my brother visited me we went to the middle of Long Island to a small place called Islip where there is a indoor shooting range where you might also rent guns. The trip with the LIRR, Long Island Rail Road takes somewhere around 1.15 to 1.30 depending on time of day and so on. It is also not the most busy stretch of rail-road with about one departure per hour. We just missed a train on our way there and one going back. In Islip we then had the opportunity to hang out at the local Path Mark super store. An educating time. Did you know that you are not allaowed by law to redeem more than 240 bottles and cans for a maximum amount of $12? Did not think so. Well it was not the only thing we learned about the law this day.
When we got to the range we enquired about renting pistols or revolvers to shoot with. But since we did not hold permits for that in the states we could not. But we could rent an AK-47, 12 gauge shotguns and other carbines. So the law forced us to go power strong, and I did not object. My AK was loud, gave a big muzzle flash and was castrated to only semi-automatic fire. But fun to shoot never the less.
My brothers toy-like .40 calibre carbine only held 10 in the magazine, had a sharp kick, was badly under aimed and had yellow tape on the plastic body to hold it together. A strange weapon that I don't really see the use of.
The range was a bit short, only 20 yards and the ammunition quite expensive. We had a good time, but the trip was a bit long for the short shooting.
