Editing my original post because of some of the confusion in later posts as to what the class includes.
You do NOT need to own an MP5 to take the class. Weapons will be provided by Battlefield: Vegas, Lock N Load, and New Frontier Armory. As Sarah posted further down the thread, ammo, transport to and from the site (from Battlefield: Vegas’s location near The Strip), food and beverages and other items that Sarah listed will also be included.
Again, you don’t need an MP5 to take this class.
Note: I am not the host for this class, just passing on the info.
Ill be looking forward to the video to see Larry’s take on manipulating the weapon and his drills. Personally I hate the MP5 and wish I could get my Colt SMG back; after more than a decade with the M16 series weapons, having to lock the bolt to the rear yourself during your reload just doesnt make sense to me.
This is going to be a great class, however I do know that due to unforseen circumstances, it will NOT be filmed. I think this will be better and allow for more instruction and range time.
I know that there are still a few more spots left if anyone is interested. Great opportunity to come to Vegas and shoot one of the classic full autos with one of the world’s best instuctors:)
I’m not the host but will be taking the class! Can’t wait!!
d90King-- you don’t need an MP5 to take the course—EVERYTHING you need will be provided for you.
Here is a rundown of the package:
This is a “turn key” course and all you have to do is show up. Uniform, ammo, weapon, eye/ear pro, chow, hydration and transportation are all included
They reserved an executive shuttle with all the amenities to transport the students to and from the 215 acre site. From the drop off point, the students will then be transported via military HMWVV from the staging point to the range area.
Once at the range area, chow and beverages are provided throughout the day.
Several MP5 variants, which we will provide, are included in the cost of the course and they include the MP5, MP5A3, MP5-SD and MP5-K. Plenty of magazines will provided as well.
Eye protection, ear protection and military ACU’s are included.
All students will be provided with 600 rounds of Federal 124 grain FMJ.
I have just became aware that the Battlefield Vegas guys were misled by Buck Mossie ( who acted as the initial go between) that this MP5 class was going to be filmed as an episode for TacTV - this was never the case and I never agreed to that ; if anyone signed up for the class expecting it to be on my TV show I apologize and fully understand if you want a full refund
Once again I just became aware of this and I am making sure the word gets out so everyone who is signed up or is considering it is informed
Bumping this since I updated my original post with more class details.
I’d really like this class to fill up to show Larry that we can fill a class in Vegas so he and other top tier instructors will put more classes on in this area.
Even with that I’m still considering it. How far is the rendezvous point from the airport?
From the other WW:
“GLIDING o’er all, through all,
Through Nature, Time, and Space,
As a ship on the waters advancing,
The voyage of the soul–not life alone,
Death, many deaths I’ll sing.”
Someone should update the class announcement to exclude the line: “The class will be filmed and air on an upcoming episode of TAC-TV on the Sportsmans Channel”.
I’m working on that but the people who control it are 1 day away from opening the largest machine gun facility in Las Vegas. To say they are extremely busy would be an understatement.
