Oh man... here we go. I own a Mosin-Nagant 7.62x54mmR, and I have fired several .22's, semi-auto and bolt action, two different 12 gauges, an M1 Garand (.30-06), an M1 Carbine (30 cal.), a 9mm Glock, my uncle's Springfield .45 ACP handgun, and some .30- 30 firearms. I think that's it. I think.
I shot air rifles when I was a kid. My dad would drive me out into the bush and we'd shoot at tin cans. I don't know what gauge bullet goes into an air rifle but I don't even think they qualify as a bullet, they're just tiny pellet things. The air rifle only held one pellet, you'd have to reload after each shot. Once we tried to shoot at birds, we didn't hit a single one.MasterOfWorlds said:
More recently I shot an antique Winchester .22 bolt-action rifle on a relative's farm. It comes with a clip that holds about 7 or 8 rounds. I was expecting it to kick more than the air rifle I remember from my youth but I was surprised by the lack of recoil. It wasn't even all that loud, either. It didn't make a cool rifle noise, just a little pop. He also had a 12-gauge double-barrel shotgun of a similar vintage on the farm but I didn't shoot that because the catch that holds the barrel in place was broken and there was a real risk that when shooting the buckshot would come out the wrong way and hit me in the face instead of the target. There was a smaller single-barrel shotgun I went rabbit-hunting with (I think .410 gauge but that could be wrong) but I didn't fire that either because the rabbits were just too damn fast for me, by the time I was in firing position the damn things had run off.
only fired an m16a1 during my brief time in the army, and I don't really intend on touching a gun ever again, honestly.

The last link says the game gives it heat-seeker lock-on capability, but the first three made no mention of it. That's passive homing.
The Half-Life weapon is a semi-active laser homing one with simpler-programming bonus that allows it to turn round and come back for a shifted laser spot that's now out of sight behind it, smacking into the top of a tank when you shift your aim from the sky to the underside of the tank's nose, for example.
The modern anti-aircraft weapon that turned out to be good against APCs too is the Starstreak, developed from Starburst (I think), and both are beam-riders. The re-usable launcher has a laser projector in it, and the operator aims the laser pattern at the target and keeps it there while the missile launches out of the tube with one burst of propulsion, goes ballistic to a safe distance, lights up and accelerates to very high speed and then steers itself into the middle of the grid to stay on-target. The old one will explode in a shower of tungsten cubes if it gets close. The new one splits into three smaller missiles, each of which steers to its assigned place in the grid, so it's a bit like a shotgun, if you think of the aircraft as a $25,000,000, 700mph clay pigeon. It's best fired into the face of an enemy aircraft on a low-level strafing or bombing run while it heads straight towards you, but you can fire it up his arse instead as long as you're quick.
A shame I know. We're a minority that they can basicly do what they want to, guns arent that popular here. Most people just arent bothered about them, which is a shame going to the range is something I enjoy. Just not sure how much longer it'll be able to keep goingjdun said:
