My father taught me how to clean, load, and fire a gun when I was a child. I also learned how to load it blindfolded, and with one hand.
I have fired shotguns and handguns over the years.
A Purdey shotgun, and Smith and Wesson revolver being the most memorable.
When I was in the high Tatras mountains in Slovakia, a soldier patrolling the border between Poland and Slovakia let me fire his HK417.
We were up there checking it out as a possible smuggling route at the time.
I never carried a gun, but when I worked as a doorman in London I wore a ballistic vest. I had bottles and knives pulled on me over the years but never a gun though.

I always empty the bullets out of it before a date. Never leave one in the chamber, its embarrassing.

Babybuff

I shot a spider, a lizard and tin cans in trees don't think I killed anything though

Used to go fox hunting when i was around 11/12, always had a bruise on my shoulder from the shotgun recoil. My PE teacher probably thought my parents were beating me though.

Yakult

Once. A .44 magnum. Nearly blew my wrist off me the first time but then I knew what to expect from their on in. Addictive, too addictive..

Allround Predator

Yes, when I was in the army I fired a whole range of weapons from a Steyr AUG to the FN FAL, Iv also got to fire a Bren light machine gun, it has some kick out of it.

wilkie2006

I went to a "shooting range" (well, a field) in Cambodia and they gave me this old Chinese handgun to fire. I don't know a thing about guns but it looked so old and wrecked that I was expecting it to blow up in my face. Like a typical male idiot, I pretended it was all a great laugh and used up all the bullets so the locals wouldn't think I was some pampered, Western pussy. I was delighted when I put the fcuking thing down.

deise go deo

Yes, An Assualt rifle and a machinegun.

Babybuff

pew pew I love guns

scooby2791

zero19

Shotguns yeah. What an odd question.

kieranfitz

Yup, handguns, shotguns, rifles, machine guns and sub machine guns.

Jesus Wept

I know what you're thinking: 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?

ProudDUB

Yep, lots of 'em when I lived in the States, usually at a gun range in the 'burbs, or water melons and water balloons on a friends farm out in the stix. Glocks, Magnums, Walters, Colts, Berettas...shot 'em all. I broke my thumb when I was a kid and it never quite healed. The recoil from the Magnums and Colts fooking killed my hand pain wise. Had to switch to the girly guns after a while. It was never quite so much fun after that, even if I was shooting James Bonds beloved Walther PPK for the most part.

The gun range that we went to has a fabulous collection of old WW1 & WW2 pistols. You could rent them by the hour to shoot. That was a trip ! I shot one gun that dated from 1916. It was weird holding and shooting a type of gun that could very well have been used in the 1916 Easter Rising.

The range was in your average suburban strip mall. There was a nail salon on one side and hair loss clinic clinic on the other. The staff and clients of both never batted an eye lid at all the comings and goings of people with these odd shaped bags slung over their shoulders. Only in America ! :rolleyes:

J. Marston

Nope. I'd like to though, just to see what it's like.

Pdfile

everything from .22 pistol to hunting rifle, even an old rusty ak....


has to be said though, a silenced .22 would be an absolute beast for self defence ( though silencer and other cool bits and pieces would be quite pricey these days ).


Always wanted to shoot a tec9 or Steyr AUG ( long mag, 30's wont kill enough innocent peoples.... Or politicans. )

KERSPLAT!

Yep, O&U shotgun and a rifle. Never killed anything, just target shooting, good craic

He seen you with your top off?


Mt PE teacher thought I was a terrible kisser.:)

I was going to rob a gun before. Nearly got away with it. The chap in the shop turned around as I was going for it. It was some sort of handgun.

Probably wouldn't of gotten it back into the country any way.

Jimoslimos

Yeah, in Nam!

wardy2

Once in Orlando Florida ,went to a gun range and got a 44 magnum and couple of targets with it.There was a good kick off it.

i'd felt like a pro because all the training from ''call of duty'':cool:

There was alot of forms to fill out and copy's of passports, just to hold a gun,and I think it was around $50 total for two people

Shot my first gun about 2 weeks ago, quite a power rush

Galwayguy35

Yeah i did once when i was 15. Nearly shot a cow dead though instead of the can i was aiming at though, never tried it since but thinking of buying a gun sometime.

When I was about 8, one of my sisters and I used to steal the shotgun from my Dad's room and play with a weird version of Hide and Go Seek with it. She'd be Bambi, frolicking away from up the stairs while I counted to 10, and I'd be a deer hunter, roaming the house trying to find her... inevitably chasing her with the shotgun until she started crying.

One morning when thinking my folks were outside, I was half way up the stairs with the shotgun, when I met my Mum on her way down in her dressing gown. Needless to say I got the bollocking of my life, but Bambi was spared.

I've shot a shotgun a few times since that, but I've a poor shot and I tend to get terribly wet and distracted with chatting to people/ landmarks/ terrain when shooting, so I don't find it a lot of fun. Some people say golf is a waste of a good walk, for me that applies even moreso to shooting.

jimthemental

Fired over and under and side by side shotguns. I've done a lot of shooting with a scoped .22 rifle on the farm. Fecking crows!

Arnold Layne

Many years ago in the FCA - Artillery, I fired a .303 rifle and also a Bren gun.

Does being in a 25 pounder gun crew also count?

Potential-Monke

I have fired many a gun. I love it. I love the initial rush of picking it up, checking the chamber, smelling the gun oil (usually WD40), making sure the mechanism and cocking works. Then the excitement of loading the rounds into the magazine, one by one, knowing that in a short few moments these little beauties will be giving you a buzz like no other. Next up, loading, inserting the mag into the gun and hearing that pleasant click, signifying that the time is near. Take position. Aim. Safety off. Adrenaline. FIRE! *pleasant shudder*

I've fired a SIG, FN FAL, Steyr, Bren, GPMG, 50cal HMG, and the daddy of all guns, the BOFOR! Oh what a thrill firing that weapon! Rounds as long as your arm and twice the width! YURT!
