Ever fired guns?

[Gorth]

I own...let's just say over 50 firearms.

You somehow remind me of Burt from Tremors

Got to love it when that worm thing bursts in and finds itself face first in a firing range.

I grew up around guns. I own a 12 gauge pump action shot gun, but shot quite a few others in my life.

 

I think one of my favorite guns for playing around is a .22 / 410 over / under. It's a really fun little gun.

[Gfted1]

Ive fired:

 

.22

9mm

.357

.40

.45

MAK-90 ("Sport" version of the AK-47)

AR-15

Some old 8mm German rifle that kicked so hard it drove the scope into my eye socket.

12/18/24 gauge shot guns

[Dragon Lord Jones]

22 pistol and rifle

12 guage full length and sawed off

derringer

44 cap and ball

357

30-06

4-10

ak-47

45

38 special

 

 

and several other antique guns I can't recall by name ... my brother - in - law collects 'em

 

but it's been many years since that I've even held a gun of any type

[Dark_Raven]

Have u ever fired real guns?

Yeah

 

have to say which gun too

Yeah.

 

12 gauge pump

30-06 rifle I own those.

 

10 Gauge shotgun, my grand dad's. That thing has some kick and hurts like a son of a bitch. I couldn't move my arm for a while.

7 MM Magnum rifle

22 cal

458 Winchester Magnum

A muzzle loader, don't know what caliber. I fired that once in my early teens and never again after. Its my dad's gun. I was on both of my knees aiming at a target and I fired it. The damned thing knocked me right on the ground. Dad must have really primed it with powder, the smart ass.

 

44 Magnum Desert Eagle and a revolver.

357 Magnum

38 Special

9 MM

45 Cal

 

A German sniper rifle from WW2. I don't know what brand or caliber, it was my grandfathers.

lolwut, seriously.

 

What the hell kinda forum am I in? I mean, just about the most weapon-involving thing I've ever done(besides shooting once in a range and a couple of times with a sports bow) was beating a guy with a chair. And that's only if office chairs count as lethal implements. I'd have to ask the guy, but he hasn't talked to me since the swelling stopped. Besides that...well, fistfightin? A lot of fistfighting? I know, I try to come up with weapon related stuff, but I guess it's living in a different culture.

 

Well, I bet going to the army in two years time will change that.

[Aram]

I bought a Webley Mark VI from the internet a few days ago.

[taks]

never fired a gun in my life, nor do i ever expect to.

I thoguht you drunken finns always used knives?

[Meshugger]

Most likely, yeah. A friend of mine turned into a real gun-nut and collector. He now stores all his guns in a huge vault at his home with a computer that registers every time the vault-door is opened, along with an automatic camera taking pictures as well. I think that he pretty much owns enough to mobilize a private army.

That's for more ceremonial purposes. Weddings, funerals, baptisms and so on

Ya, well. Sharp wit just don't cut it sometimes.

You do realize that you're living in one of the most weapon dense countries in the world, right?

I know a few people like that as well, although I doubt they have that many guns... Although I have not seen all of their collections.

[Aram]

A better question would be have you fired an M1911A1, because until you have you haven't really been shooting.

[Musopticon?]

Yeah, but there's difference between owning/having fired an assault weapon and a hunting rifle.

 

And that density really doesn't show, I wouldn't actually be aware of it without reading about it from the Internet, since the odd hunting rifle or range pistol is never on show. Guns are not a culture here, even the laws are very strict despite guns being plentiful and gun-related crime on low.

Again, when said "hunting rifle" could be used to shoot down aircraft, the difference becomes less and less substantial.

Aside from gun fairs in the US, doesn't that comment apply just as well to American gun culture? I wouldn't know since I've not lived there, but from what folks say, it's not as rampant as us Euro Commies (have been led to) believe.

Actually, it is a culture in Finland too. At least in the northern parts of Finland, you have the exact same hunting culture that's common in the northern parts of Sweden. Every hunter has at least one shotgun, one 30-06 (moose hunting rifle) and a low calibre weapon for target practice. Lots of hunters have several shotguns, several high calibre weapons and a few low calibre weapons.

 

Handguns, on the other hand, are very rare in both Sweden and Finland. They are absolutely worthless for hunting so they have no value to the common hunting population.

[taks]

Ya, well. Sharp wit just don't cut it sometimes.

it's gonna have to for me. i just don't care to use guns and there's no way i can hunt. air rifles are fun, however. a friend of mine just got back from a dove hunting trip in bolivia. he fired his gun over 10000 times just in 4 days.

 

taks

[Darque]

A shotgun, a few handguns, and an assault rifle... once.

[Shryke]

yes

 

one with a barrel and trigger and stuff

[Walsingham]

I forgot to mention the supersoakers.

Until you fired a Desert Eagle 44, you haven't really been shooting. And yes I have fired the old M1911A1 45 Cal.

[random n00b]

lol n00bs

 

Until you have fired a nuke-tipped 155mm howitzer, you haven't been shooting.
