Japanese Gunlovers

There's a huge industry in Hawaii for Japanese to come and shoot guns. Since they're outlawed, I would imagine a certain fascination. There are 5 or so major clubs down in the tourist districs and I found a news article that said the Royal Hawaiian club last year had $3million in sales. They advertise different packages that let you shoot 5-15 guns that have a certain "fame" or appeal. (Think Dirty Harry's gun) The tourism statistics here say that 5000-8000 Japanese a day come in and these gun clubs usually get 50-150 visitors a day! I took the ad above from a free brochure that you can find practically on every street corner in Waikiki. Did she shoot 6 times or only 5, punk?
