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 Grin

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..... Angry...!

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... Grin...!
The words "Shooting", "Killing" and "Fun" don't fit into the same category any more, for me.. Wink...!

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

Cheers all... Grin...!

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.

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.

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

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. Cheesy

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

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 Grin
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 Wink ).
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 Smiley

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.
