Have you ever fired a gun?

[carmadgaz]

Just a couple of shotguns and .22 rifles with the Cadets
(plus assorted air rifles but we established they don't count)

Only 21 so hoping to add a couple more to that list

[The Hitman]

Yes I have, but I won't mention the details...

At least if I did tell you, I'd have to use it again shortly afterwards...

Aaaah Swingfire. I used to change the warheads on those.

one of these:


and one of these:


Several pistols from .22 to .45 at a range a while ago.

Loading the muskets was fun. Just didn't want to leave the ramrod in - that made the recoil much harder. Not to mention the 3' projectile that flew out.

[Elskeggso]

12 gauge when I went clay pigeon shooting. Hopefully I can eventually go and stay at my Mum's apartment in Arizona sometime, there's a firing range just down the road, and one of her neighbours is a complete gun nut, with a Magnum in his collection He said I can borrow any of them when I go and stay over there.

[TJD2003]

Lots, mostly military but a few odder bits and bobs.

British army sniper rifle is my favorite, could use that all day and not get bored, not to much cleaning after unlike a GPMG or SA80 which is always a bonus.

Mostest to leastest

7.62mm SLR - man's best friend, lovely, bit of a kick to it.
7.62 mm GPMG - a bd to 'fire and manoeuvre' with
9mm Sterling SMG - who needs kevlar when a wet duffle coat will do?
9mm Browning - as above
9mm Beretta - sexier

[g4ry13]

M16, CAR-15 & FN Mag.

[Gareth79]

I was walking back to my hotel in Honolulu last year and spotted a gun "club" which mainly seemed to be there for Japanese tourists to get their fix. Anyway paid a small amount of money and fired about eight different guns. .44 Magnum obviously, although I think the kick from the .45 Glock felt more because the gun was smaller. Final was an AR-15 which was fun. Favourite was the Glock 17, I could fire that all day long.

[telecat]

A Number of .22 rifles and pistols when younger. All Safe on a 25 yard range. Still a competent shot but no Sniper.

[Johnny]

Yep.

Lee Enfield when I was about 13.

A few shotguns.

Browning 9mm, M1911, AK47 & M60 (fecking loud, & jammed).

Still upset I didn't take the opportunity to obliterate an underfed bovine target with some sort of RPG device when I had the chance

[Plotloss]

Everything from a .177 air pistol to a .700 Nitro Express.

[Key]

I have shot

9mm Barretta (sp)
Some form of Pump action shotgun
a .22 Rifle

At the time I was shooting these in Texas there was a .45 cal handgun around but the owner said it wasn't for a novice like myself.

He also demonstrated a .45 rifle for me. Used a gun stand and shot a Paint can at about 300 yards.

He did say I was a good shot for someone who'd never shot before, unfortunately haven't held a gun in the 4 years since.

Nice! I love guns, but dont really think id like it if they were legal here!

They are legal 'here' (except pistols, unless Sec5 licenced). Just search many of the other threads on the subject. Many Brits on here with a collection of firearms and s/g's.

[stuttgartmetal]

Glock 17

There are several ranges in Florida where you can loan guns,and buy the ammo to shoot them.

[Cock Womble 7]

SLR, SMG, LMG, GPMG and Browning 9mil "High Power" pistol.
