I agree that it looks ridiculously fun, but fuck people getting access to guns so ridiculously easy
You did watch the video right? And did you get the part about how it's almost impossible to buy one of these VERY exensive weapons due to permits, and the entire point of the sandy shoot is that they're not allowed to use this kind of stuff on a range?
Anyways, here's some content with more guns.

i've read some peculiar things about owning a minigun like the guy did at the start of the vid. apparently there are only like 3-5 guns like that in the whole states and that there is no law prohibiting you from purchasing or owning one as in like buying a hammer from your nearest toolstore. thing is, they are very limited and the ammo cost is fucking horrendous. same goes for owning flamethrowers, no law there at all aswell.
That's not correct.
To buy any sort of machine gun:
The gun had to been registered before May 1986. What that mean to you is that you can't buy any of the new toys, and that the supply of machine guns you can buy is limited and decreasing every year when a gun breaks down. (you cannot repair a transferable machine gun.) This has the effect of greatly inflating the cost by orders of magnitude. A transferable minigun can easily cost over a quarter of a million dollars. A M16 will run for about $10,000 to $20,000. The cheapest you can go is probably a mac 10 for around 4 grand, and you'll get a gun that took maybe $60 to manufacture.
You need to find somebody willing to sell one. Since every machine gun that you can legally own already exists, it is usually owned by someone. And if it is something rare, good luck finding someone who is willing to part with it.
You have to do the transfer through a FFL dealer, and fill out paper work, get a chief law enforcement officer to sign off on it (or write up a legal trust), add a $200 tax stamp, and send it to the ATF.
You need to wait 6-7 months for the BATFE paperwork to go through and then you can get your gun.
Same thing applies to suppressors, short-barrel rifles, destructive devices (grenade launchers, rpg's, etc), or other NFA items, with the only difference being there is no limited supply situation like the machine guns.
As for the ammo costs, a case of 1000 rounds of 7.62x51 will go for about $500, and a minigun spits them out at around 4000 rpm. So you'll spend about 2 grand to shoot it for a minute.
