Another crazy thing.

I used to a chinese army base next to the great wall. They let westerners pay to use all kinds of artilary. Got to use an ak47 many times. Once paid 50 bucks to shoot one of those missiles than you kind of drop into the device.

Not the kind of thing you can usually do at a UK or US army base LOL
Great stuff I would love to check that out

In the travel brochure:

All day tour of Great Wall US$28
Optional add ons:
-Fire an AK47 $10
-Fire a RPG $50
-Fire a short range tactical nuke: (Check with your guide for availablility)

How long were you there for?
