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.

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 · 23-02-2012 05:43AM

Yeah, in Nam!

wardy2 · 23-02-2012 05:44AM

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

Galwayguy35 · 23-02-2012 07:06AM

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 · 23-02-2012 07:46AM

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 · 23-02-2012 08:40AM

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 · 23-02-2012 09:28AM

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!

jester77 · 23-02-2012 09:42AM

Yeah, didn't end well

Mr.Crinklewood · 23-02-2012 09:45AM
