Last full auto event at a civilian range was in SK, 1998

IRC for a time a few events were held at CAF ranges, but then the ATTs to even go to a CAF range were stopped as well

This proves Canada’s gun culture has potential to be one of the best in the world. If only had we adopted Swiss/Czech gun laws instead of Bill C21

Now this would be a good reason to return to Wainwright. Just a bit too far away for making it there.

Next time I end up at CFB Borden, I'll try to convince the guys at their military museum to have one of these shoots in Ontario. They have an incredible collection and apparently occasionally shoot their stuff privately.

Wonder if they have any full auto AKs, UZIs, MAC 10s, or TEC-9s ?

u/GonZo_626 20d ago

I know I saw a few AK's in the basement of the Loyal Edmonton Reginment museum when I went with cadets years ago. No idea if they were full-auto, but probably.

CGN has a thread going. I am an event volunteer and will be running the static weapons display featuring Canadian service Handguns, Submachineguns and Rifles/Carbines from WW1 to the current day. There will be more guns on the firing line than are listed above. I know for a fact that there is at least 1 x Russian AKMS, a Belgian FN FAL, an Indian 1A1 FAL, and an Uzi. There will likely be more. I recommend monitoring the thread over at CGN, as I won't be posting everything over here.

You still can't get me to go back to Wainwright voluntarily, even with the promise of machine guns.
