Sounds like fun and no ACLU to deal with.

I went on something similar a few years back.
I flew from New Jersey to the Far East. There were a bunch of us on this land safari and we were all dressed in jungle fatigues for concealment.
I was issued a really nice carbine and since we weren't in the U.S. it was full auto. We were sent out into the bush and looked for pirates in black pajamas.
Sometimes we just stayed in our blinds and the pirates would come after us.
The best part of this vacation was that it didn't cost me a lot up front. In fact, they gave you some spending money while you were there. Ammunition was free, and the food was OK.
Yes, a bunch did get "sucking chest wounds" but the safari company had lots of medical personnel handy when they were needed.
I'd show the pictures of us standing next to the piles of dead pirates, but I never got a model release.

You really didn't think any of us were thinking this was real did you? But it was good for a few chuckles and about 30 seconds of "What if it were real?"
