Something's wrong with me...

Manic Moran

I went to the range over the weekend, and for once, I didn't bring everything. The FAL and the two handguns were left in the house.

It's not that I don't like the FAL, or even that I prefer my other rifles to it. Or that I'm no fan of pistol shooting. Just something happened and I said to myself 'you know, just these three rifles are enough.'

I don't know what came over me. Have I gotten jaded? Have I reached the point where I just love some of my children more than others? I dread my next range trip, will I make the same decision again? If so, what will that tell me?!

Have you gotten the urge to leave all the toys alone and get yourself a real gun yet?

That ingenious!

I've been trying but damned if I can spot where the water cap is


MM, I reckon if you get to fire a tank gun, well, unless you transfer to the Navy nothing much else is going to compare

You don't need water for Airsoft.

I'm the same way Manic, I've got 40 something rifles and 12 pistols, but keep coming back to my K31 and sig 229.
I think I just got tired of cleaning 10 rifles and 5 handguns after each trip to the range

It's a Steyr air rifle. I believe Sparks has a thing for them.

Yeah, had an idea it was an air rifle, just wondering what model it was. Is it some sort of uber-brilliant elite air rifle or is it just a fetish of Sparks??

Well you can't be blamed for always going with the Sig, in fairness they are a lovely gun!

As much as I would like to own all those guns aswell the cleaning would put me off too, what you need is some kind of giant ultrasonic washing machine that you can just throw them all into!

Yes. Only rifle I've ever fired which had no discernable recoil of any kind. Utterly, totally dead. If it didn't make a noise, you wouldn't know it had fired at all. Every other rifle (air or otherwise) I've tried kicks when you squeeze, but the Steyr engineers managed to get their compensator design so well tuned that the LG110 just doesn't move at all. Doesn't sound like much until you try it and then it's unbelievably creepily cool, when you squeeze the trigger and a hole magically appears in the middle of the target ten metres away. Action at a distance
