FAMILY FUN AT THE MACHINE-GUN RANGE:

A little nervous at first, she pulled the trigger with trepidation, squeezing off a round or two. But Emily quickly discovered why the MP5 is loved by the FBI, Delta Force and others. It’s a full-blown submachine gun, but with the kick of a cap gun. With renewed confidence, she quickly expended the rest of her clip and walked off the line with a big grin.

Last year I took the Advanced Con Law seminar to the shooting range, and the MP5 was, indeed, quite popular with the women. The Insta-Wife, however — who learned to field-strip an M60 machine gun back in ROTC — would probably find it wimpy,.

UPDATE: The InstaWife corrects me: she field-stripped an M16. They just let ’em shoot the M60.
