Actually, I didn't know this! This is awesome, I feel like I got an extra bonus GotW entry now. :)

I'll have to try one out someday. My local -- well, nearest-of-good-quality, it's about 35 miles away in another state -- gun range has an ever-changing and slightly odd collection of rental firearms. It's where I got to rock full-auto with an MP5... in .22LR, which is actually kind of hilarious. "Machine gun, rawwr!" *brrraaap*
I'm not saying it was a letdown, I'm just saying it's lacking a certain something in the impressiveness department. :)
(It also jams something fierce, go figure.)
