    Fired off a few rounds from the FN on the Carnagh range during my FCA days. If I recall I managed to get a black eye from the sight recoiling into my face on the first shot despite the warning. I still remember the soothing words of the PDF Corporal as he looked at me. "There's always one p***k every year"

    Fired a rifle when I was young enough, 10+ years ago, can't really remember much tbh, for some reason it didn't feel like I was shooting a "real" gun..most recently had 10 shots of a handgun (.44 I think?) at a shooting range in Thailand a couple of years ago, good fun!

    Glock 9mm
    M4 Carbine
    Sig Sauer SWAT rifle

    Tried these out at Manchester Firing Line range in New Hampshire, USA last year.

    Was fairly intense for me.

    Have heard a lot of stories about Cambodia, for around $250 USD you can fire a bazooka at a live cow...not something I'd be into but good to know the options there!

    I guess I was that pr*ck too. Although I never got a black eye, but I got a cut on upper eye though. Kind've felt embarrassed by it as well.
