What weapons are you proficient with?

[GrinningManiac]

I know how to fire a musket, and NOONE expects you to clothsline them with the bellows of an accordion, I'll tell you that much!

Also, my dog's lead has a moutain-climbing clip on it (we use it to tie him to posts and stuff). It's just the right size that you can fit it around your fingers and make a knuckleduster. I can use that, too.

 

[GrinningManiac]

Please tell me we have some Welshmen who can use the longbow in here - if only to restore at least part of my faith in the Isles.
Or Germans who can use a throwing axe/zweihander?
Scottish snipers/claymores?

I'm big on people getting in touch with their ancestral killing roots.

I could burn you at the stake for trumped-up charges whilst screaming the Bible in latin at you.

Would that do?

 

[Kevlar Eater]

I'm pretty good at using the sledgehammer and the flail.

 

[Starke]

Most semi-automatic handguns. Some revolvers, some shotguns. Longsword, Axe (any), Sledgehammer, Staff, Knives, hand to hand.

Something a little less trite. EVERYWHERE in Europe did that.

 

[dancinginfernal]

My fists.

Yay, boxing.

 

[De Ronneman]

I actually did karate for some years, though allready 5 years ago, I still whoop butt with the bo(fighting stick). Also, some of the standard techniques are etched in my mind thanks to my teacher...
I can use nunchaku, but I won't, because for every 3 good hits on the dummy, I'dd hit myself once.

I did have a fencing course for 6 weeks thanks to some schoolproject, but that's rather boring. Me and my friend usually wire fu'd the floret Tarantino-style...

I also had some schooling in shooting, I was a minor, so I only got to shoot BB's, but I learned that my hands are unstable with handguns, but I always get a great score with the rifle. It's an awesome trick on fancy fairs, inviting your mates to stand close to you for the picture They were truly astounded the first time I did it, and got it with the first BB.

 

[IamQ]

A tennis racket. I really haven't used any real weapons.

not a weapon really but it's genuinely what i grab when i hear a noise in the night...and it looks deadly

 

[Chester41585]

I am proficient with most NATO infantry small-arms.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

Pretty much any scoped rifle, although im not too shabby with iron sights either. Can't say I've fired anything on full auto though, so I wouldn't know how proficient I am with an assault rifle fired on anything other than semi-auto.

I can also hit a target at 25 metres with a pistol, though perhaps not with super accuracy (i.e I could probably nail a man-sized target, but I might not be able to hit him/her exactly in the eye or the bridge of the nose or something like that at such a range). Though I should mention that I've only shot with pistols one-handed (since those are standard competition regulations at my gun club). I might be more accurate using both hands.

I've spent a few years training kendo, so I guess I could handle a japanese sword as well, or at the very least get the gist of it(although far from a masters level).

I've had to use a knife in real situations for self-defense purposes, so I guess I got the basics down of how to fight with a knife.

Aside from those, I've got some degree of technical know-how as well as knowing a few explosive recipes by heart, so I could probably rig a weaponized explosive charge given the materials and some time to experiment.

That's about all the weapons I can think of at the moment.

 

[Mozza444]

I knocked a guy out in one punch last night.

And it was a punch to the chest.

Just thought i'd throw that in there..

 

[Marsell]

Butterfly knife.

Do you mean sniper as in a bow? I'm fairly good with a bow, but sniping? Eh. I'd love to take up archery on a more regular basis, but it's fairly expensive.

A claymore is far heavier than any sword I have practiced with, but I could maybe defend myself for a few minutes with one.

I more meant with a rifle - archery is traditionally more of a welsh thing, though that's not to say you didn't find badasses all over the isles. (I still laugh about how that burning suicide-bomber a while back was rugby-tackled and beaten into unconciousness.)

And practicing with ANY sword puts a person head & shoulders about most internet tough guys, claiming to be weapon masters with black belts in dozens of martial arts.

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

Bow and arrow at close range, .223 rifle at long.

 

[Zarthek]

C-10 Rifle - http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/C-10_rifle

In real life: Shotguns, semi-automatic rifles as a general whole.

 

[Pips]

I'm proficient with bolt action rifles, longbows, recurves and compound bows, plus epee and foil.

I strongly suspect that some people on here are lying, though none quite so egregiously as Eren Murtaugh. I DO have a helicopter pilot's licence (non-military) and I know enough about the way the forces do things to know that a 19 year old claiming to fly not only an attack helicopter but a fighter jet AS WELL is full of crap. I started flying at 17, and was 19 before I got my PPL(H).

 

[Heatray]

M16A4, M249, M240B, Kar98K, Farming Equipment, Hands, Feet, Knives, Sharp Sticks.

There really isn't much I can't use, now that I think about it.

Ah, I thought you might mean rifle but it was a bit more modern than the rest of the weapons. I doubt I'll ever get my hands on anything more powerful than a paintball gun though, there isn't much call for a gun in the suburbs. As for Smeatton, it certainly makes for some good jokes when you look at the absurditiy of what he did and the publics reaction to it.

I am competent with a Foil and Sabre in fencing (which are very light in comparison to a claymore) so I guess the basics I know may help, but I still get the feeling that I'd be very sluggish with the claymore.
