I was recently at Dragon Man's for a range day.

As we were leaving, a big group came onto the range. They had rented 4 machine guns for an experience- grease gun, AK-47, .22-cal AR-style rifle, and an MP5. Dragon Man staff rolled out with the MGs, Instructors, and Ammo. The instructors basically paired off so that every shooter had an instructor within arms reach- essentially a hand on their shoulder as they were firing.

I was impressed with the attitude and professionalism of the instructors. Everything ran without a hitch and the people had a blast. For some of the folks it must have been a real bucket-list experience! The rates look reasonable, I might buy some MG time for my dad for his birthday!

Mel used to hang out with his buds at the Einstein Bagels at Constitution & Powers on Saturday mornings.    

Seemed kindof loud and attention-seeking...



Maybe he has nothing to do with the day-to-day operation anymore, I wouldn't know.

Mel's still running the operation, last I knew.  His daughter Melissa helps. Mel has never been anything less than nice to me.

It should be mentioned that Dragonman's is hosting their annual full auto shoot on Sept. 13 and 14.  200 full autos for rent, vendors, and prizes.  Mel's military museum will also be open.

Mel is an odd dude, but his museum is worth seeing.  He gave my soldier and I a private tour before his wife died.

You mean before he blew his wife up?

Mel is a character, first time I met him he offered me a free ski mask if I bought a shotgun.

This is about Dragon Man's facility, not the man himself.

Mel's wife was not "blown up" and Mel wasn't the one who rigged up the smoke canisters that killed her.
