Yes, it's an organisation called HM Forces! Join up and you get to fire real steel guns, potentially at real people!
Seriously though, short of shotguns for clay pigeon or hunting, it is pretty much illegal now. Even competition shooters like biathletes have to go abroad.

There are very rare "range days" about if you can find them. Last one I was looking at was on a MOD site in aid of H4H. £250 got you to shoot AK's, M4's, SA80's, plus various sniper rifles and machine guns.

But... that only been run once this year!

Go to Prague.

Can get a weekend package with flights, transfers, and a decent B&B for about £250pp.

Then go to the range. £400 or so would do it.

Hi if you can get there, Bisley shooting range has two events a year where you can pay a price to enter and then £5 to have 5 shots on a selected weapon, they have a large selection of rifles and I have shot M4, Aug's, L96 and various other wapons in previous years.
Hope this helps

As mentioned above, bisley is quite possibly your only viable option! They have all sorts of days which you can experience some very "interesting" toys :D

Was talking to this guy who him and his mates went somewhere in Poland where you can shoot all you like for under 75euros worth, ranging from mp5's, ak's, m4's the lot, and best of all with fit women strip down in bikini's handing you the guns - apparently had a whale of a time, as i'd expect. :D That's what I call a proper mans holiday out

Florida

Got a few m8s over there and ended firing lots of rounds in the back of his garden with numerous firearms.
