SHOOTING

[Crumbso]

Ok this one I'll try not to snap at people and relax.

I got the impression from the airsoft post that alot of you guys shoot. I would like to know what.

I do clay pigeon shooting and usually use an over and under 12 bore. I sometimes shoot rabbits at my friends house because they are a damn nuisence.

I have shot some .22 rifles but I prefer shotguns by miles.

Used to shoot when I was in the cadets, .22 Mk.8s (modified Lee Enfields), then with the Martinis that replaced the Mk.8s and finaly the L98 GP

I grew up around fire arms and have shot all types. Carried an M-16 in the USAF, and a S&W Model 10 .38 specail working casino security. The only gun I own now is a 1973 Winchester .22 cal pellet gun my wife bought for me for $20.

I've fired a .22 rifle a lot, and shot a 12 gauge shotgun, a .243 rifle, a .38 special pistol, and an antique sixshooter that was either a .44 or .45.

I know a guy who has an M-16 which I would like to shoot once or twice

When I was a little lad I used to go around shooting and killing every small creature that moved..... >:(...!

Now that I am a big lad, I have thought better of it, and I don't do it any more, which means that there are lots of very happy small creatures running/flying around now... ...!
The words "Shooting", "Killing" and "Fun" don't fit into the same category any more, for me.. ...!

...the gun culture leaves me stone cold... ...!

Cheers all... ...!

I shoot anything that I can lay my hands on. I have done clay pigeon with an over/under 410 shotgun.

I shoot rabbits and other vermin with my .22 Weirauch HW95K air rifle or my .177 HW35.

I sometimes shoot with my dads .22 semi auto Ruger carbine.

I have also fire numerous air pistols and BB guns.

However I really want to have a go on a .50 browning, a Lee Enfield MKIII SMLE, a Bren gun and a H&K MP5.

[Crumbso]

Bloody hell yeah a bren gun would be amazing. The nicest looking gun of ww2.

a .410 is like a damn peashooter not really much use if you ask me. try going for a 12 bore or if you want to bruise you shoulder try the 8 bore.

[Woodlouse2002]

Hows about a Duck gun? I think its about a 2bore and mounted on a canoe!

What you do is hide in reeds and slowly paddle out towards a group of ducks on a lake. Then when your in range you open fire kill all the ducks in one shot and propelled back into the reeds by the kick! One helluva weapon.

[Crumbso]

lol

sounds fun but I leave ducks alone I like em.

to me theres nothing like a moving target so thats why I do clay pigeoning.

[Woodlouse2002]

I prefer stalking a target before shooting it. Gives you a nice challenge.

Last week i shot my first gun!!!
it was my dads .22 rifle, and it had a scope!
its about 28 years old though, so it jammed in semi auto mode.. I got used to it tho and now its fun !

[Crumbso]

wouldn't you love to let rip at a fox with a minigun. I hate the bast**** they kill my friends chickens all the time.

[ozzy72]

I used to shoot in the military quite a lot, and I've been lucky, I've had goes with the SLR, GPMG, Bren, L42A1, SA80, LSW, L98A1 (awful thing!), H&K MP5/Kurz/SD, AK47, AK74, M203 (love that), Minimi, Milan, SPAS 12/15, Remington 870, Browning Hi-Power, various Glocks and Smith & Westons, H&K G3.
I used to spend a lot of my free time on the range
Oh and I own a Webley airpistol and a Beretta M92.
But I only do sport shooting these days, I don't agree with hunting.

why are you people facinated with primitive projectials that throw bits of lead at the speed of sound??
5 years ago my uncle left a gun out on the porch after killing a few pesky rabbits, he forgot to put it away and my cousion (10 years old) shoot himself in the leg, thankfully he was not killed (and missed his privates ).
ok i don't want to rave on and sound like a hippy, but guns i think people shouldn't use, unless if they gona take responcebility, but ok i see you people are doing that, be carefull

[Crumbso]

Fine you don't like guns.

Its just a hobby.

I would never ever leave a gun lying around ever specially if its loaded!

Why follow a stupid little ball around a field and be so obsessed. Most hobbies don't have a point. Besides theres a point to shooting rabbits they make a damn tasty meal.
