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.

I grew up around fire arms and have shot all types. Carried an M-16 in the USAF, and a S&W Model 10 .38 specail working casino security. The only gun I own now is a 1973 Winchester .22 cal pellet gun my wife bought for me for $20.

When I was a little lad I used to go around shooting and killing every small creature that moved..... ...!

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

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

Cheers all... ...!

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.

lol

sounds fun but I leave ducks alone I like em.

to me theres nothing like a moving target so thats why I do clay pigeoning.

Last week i shot my first gun!!!
it was my dads .22 rifle, and it had a scope!
its about 28 years old though, so it jammed in semi auto mode.. I got used to it tho and now its fun !

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
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.

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.

I know an ex-royal marine who says that the AK47 is the best assult rifle in the world. Even if it is nearly 50 years old.

The AK family of weapons are amazing, simple, but totally reliable. I've seen demos were they buried an AK, pulled it out of the ground an hour later and the thing still worked! A brilliantly designed bit of kit, not the most accurate, but at least you know it'll always work no matter how bad you treat it. Its also easy to maintain. Unlike certain expensive rifles I could mention.....
Oh and the reason I had a blat with the L98 was that my friend was a firearms instructor/range officer for the ATC, and he invited me along one day to teach the cadets how to shoot properly.
I guess I've been lucky. I originally learnt using my cousins air rifle aged 7 (he then went into the Royal Marines and was in the Falklands war, and is now a firearms instructor for the Met. Police, so I still go shooting with him), by the time I was 8 I was living in Australia and using my uncles .22 every day on the farm (lots of snakes and dangerous margarine tubs that needed dealing with ). Oh and my wifes family has several career soldiers in it, so I sometimes go shooting with them too!
Love shooting, the most fun was a live Milan shot, there was nothing left of the car we used as a target. Totally awesome I'd love one as a personal side-arm!!!!

Ps. If anyone has a .44 Desert Eagle could they let me have a go, I'm desperate to try it, I've seen photos of what it does to nasty evil water melons!!!! That is just one coooooooool pistol.

I personally belive that the Desert Eagle range of pistols is a waste of time. .50cal rounds are not meant to be fired from a short barreled weapon. If you want a good pistol get a Sig Sauer or FN Five Seven.
