Guns and you.

[ajh93]

.22 Ruger,a .38 special,and an SKS semi-auto assault rifle (from the hip,because i'm awesome).i would have shot the 9mm but it started to rain and we were in a quarry (closed of course) out in the open

Plenty, but I'll try to list them. Handguns: 7.62x25 Tokarev, 9mm Browning Hi-Point, a .380 pistol but I can't honestly remember the manufacturer, 9mm Beretta 92, several Colt and Kimball .45's, an EAA 10mm auto, a snub nosed Smith and Wesson Model 10 in .38 special, Ruger SP101 in .357, Smith and Wesson 586 in .357, Glock 9mm and Glock 10mm. Shotgun list is much shorter: Mossberg m590 and a Mossberg 500 in 12ga, and an American Arms side by side in 10ga. Rifles: A Mossberg .22 bolt action rifle and two Ruger semi-automatic rifles, a Remington 22-250, Mosin Nagant 91/30 and Mosin 44 Carbine in 7.62x54, Russian and Yugoslavian SKS in 7.62x39, M1 Garand in 7.62x51, Mauser 98K in 8mm Mauser(7.92x57), FN-FAL in 7.62x51, and a few Colt AR-15's in 5.56x45.
I think that's most of them, but I live in an area and have a family where firearms are very common, and going out to the shooting range is an excuse for family to get together. Besides, I think the list could probably just end with the Russian SKS, the Mosin Nagant 91/30, the FN-FAL, and the Colt .45, that's all you would need if an apocalypse hit.

 

[VaderMan92]

I've fired a 1911 in 45acp, 1911 in .38 super, m4 pattern ar-15 in 5.56 nato, remington m700 in .308, a ppk in .380, a lever action 30-30, a ruger 10-22 and you know what im gonna stop there because the list just goes on.

 

[Riddle78]

Never shot a gun before...
But I did hold a C6 before. And due to my military upbringing,and my parents talking about work in front of me,and me asking questions,I know how to hold it properly. In theory.

 

[sheic99]

Never shot a gun, the closest I've ever been to that is using a modified m16 for an electronic range in a Marine base. It was fairly because you still needed to insert a magazine, chamber a round and turn the safety off before you could fire. Only with next to no recoil and no sound.

That sounds really cool. If you could have something like that have the recoil and sound, it would help a lot with training. A lot of it is simply gaining the confidence to use the gun. A lot of people seem to be afraid it's going to smack them in the face or something, so that would help them build confidence without the cost of all the ammo until they get used to it.

There was recoil, but according to the people who have actually fired guns, it was less.

 

[Worgen]

pellet gun, 22 (pistol and rifle) 9mm handgun, 38 special, .306 rifle, 20 gauge, 16 gauge, 12 gauge. (skeet shooting) few others but the kind escapes me

 

[Jedoro]

Mk 23 .45 ACP, USP .40 S&W, Beretta M92 9mm, M4 Carbine 5.56mm, MP5 9mm

Sadly, I don't own any of those, but I'm working on saving up for a shotgun.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I've fired a pellet pistol, an air-rifle, a .22. That's it although I wouldn't mind actually getting my license and killing my own meal sometime.

The most killing I've ever done with a firearm was gopher patrol on my uncles farm.

 

[GoldenEyedScout]

I've shot:

Ak-47 in 7.62
P2000 in .40 S&W
Glock in .45
Remington 870 in 12 gauge (and nearly blew out my shoulder too.)
Various .22 long rifles when I was part of my schools rifle team.

I own a .22 semi automatic rifle.
I haven't had the chance to shoot it yet, as I haven't been able to get
to a range yet.

 

[newguy77]

.22 rifle, 20 and 12 gauge shotguns, .357 Magnum Revolver, and some other pistols that I don't remember the caliber or type of. .22 and Shotguns are my family's and my dad's planning on getting .22 and .357 revolvers.

 

[Boneasse]

I've shot a glock 17,
M90 and 95 Assult rifles,
A barret M95 sniper rifle,
An AK 47

And last, but not least,

The AT4 Disposable rocket launcher. That thing packed a PUNCH, I tell ya.

Also various small-arms, but not anything worth noting.

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

I once held a rocket launcher, but I don't recall the make or model. XD

 

[Connor Lonske]

Living in New York sucks. At least with my Nerf rife I can shoot my brother.

 

[pyrokleptic]

you can never have too many guns in my opinion. I started shooting when I was six years old with colt python .357 Magnum, since then I have shot everything from 8mm to .50 AE, .224 to 50 BMG, 10-20 gauge. That being said I have never and probably will never shoot a .22 LR or a .410 Bore, just a personal preference.

I'm rather jealous now...... biggest gun I've fired would be a .22 rifle

Have been to the range a few times with my dad but the government is cracking down on licensed gun owners and gun clubs. It becoming harder and more expensive to own them and keep ranges open and licensed, so they can be seen to be doing something about rising gun crime in Ireland. Rather pointless as criminals are hardly going to apply for a license :/

 

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

I dislike them ... they are heavy, loud and smell bad when you shoot them. Which consequently makes you smell bad.

People's facination with guns is scary ... it's like being fascinated with a diesel pump. Only smells worse and is even louder <.<

I collect swords and know how to use them, a jo staff, bo staff, and bow and arrows, if that makes you feel any better. XD

 

[Slaanax]

I fired an Uzi, M2 Machine gun, M16, M4, Ak-47, 9mm, .22 pistol, .22 Marlin 100 rifle, .22 magnum, Mauser 98, and a SAW. I pretty sure I fired 2 different types of 9mm. I fired a M203 Paint round before during basic training but didn't get to fire any explosive rounds.

Yea that's true :/ That was one of the reasons I joined the army at the time. We got to fire big-ass guns, just for the hell of it. Waste of tax-payers money, but good fun!

See swords I can live with because they don't make much noise when you swing them, and they don't smell. I quite like sabre fencing myself.

But guns? Wtf? It's a clunky piece of metal lacking in any sort of grace or elegance.

Not only that but they are, without a shadow of doubt, the most cowardly weapons there are (I suppose barring ballistic missile and other long range ordnance). It's quite pathetic really people's attachment to things that were designed to kill other animals at a range.

Anyways, thats just my opinion <.<
