Just shotguns. And only for one day. Hugely enjoyable.

I have a lot of mates who've done the South East Asia travelling thing, and were allowed throw grenades at chickens and whatnot. Apparently for US$400 you got to fire a rocket launcher at a cow.

dubtom · 23-02-2012 12:20PM

A mate brought me to his gun club to try out his shotgun on those discs that shoot out from a machine, I was crap. Also had a go with a 2.2 on targets,which I enjoyed more and wasn't nearly as crap. Have to say though,the only living thing I'd feel comfortable shooting at is rats. A mate I work with goes hunting and shoots birds, wabbits and deer, I couldn't go there.

TheInquisitor · 23-02-2012 12:21PM

Yes several times. I have fired shotguns, rifles, a glock , a beretta, a .44 magnum and an uzzi.

inforfun · 23-02-2012 12:27PM

Well, there were

MAG
UZI
FAL
Browning hand gun and M2 .50
LAW rocket launcher
Dragon anti tank.

And a few hand grenades

All of them while in the army as it is not the kind of stuff you should do while going out on a saturday evening.

eth0 · 23-02-2012 12:41PM

12 gauge single barrel

Riddle101 · 23-02-2012 12:45PM

I was in the Reserve Defence Force for a few years so I got the opportunity to fire guns with them.

I fired
Styer AUG
General Purpose Machine Gun(MAG)
Universal Self-loading Pistol(HK)

Basically the essential weapons you fire in the Defence Forces. But i've also been on the Gun crew of an EL-70 Bofor as well, and fired that so i count that as well.

bnt · 23-02-2012 12:46PM

In South Africa I got to play with a R5 for a day, on a 1600m range. It's got a short carbine barrel, so hitting anything at 1600m was, shall we say, unlikely. I was much happier at 50m. :cool:

Mr Benevolent · 23-02-2012 12:47PM

No, but I want to. You're not a real man until you fire a gun, wrestle a bear and repeatedly listen to your mother in law saying 'Nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag.'

Caveman1 · 23-02-2012 12:51PM

I shot my load plenty of times, There's some kick back off that

KTRIC · 23-02-2012 01:03PM

I shot a pistol, shotgun, assault shotgun, rifle, sniper rifle and then a mini-gun.

I did have to active a cheat to get the last one though. Really gave Johnny "Johnny Spaz" Barbosa a hiding

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:

Could be worse. At least in the US it's customary to put the rifles in bags. In some really crazy countries like in Europe, they just sling the assault rifle over their shoulder. http://bunkerville.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/swiss2.jpg?w=780

minidazzler · 23-02-2012 05:00PM

I've shot around a dozen different pistols.

Then there is the Steyr AUG, Bren, FN MAG.

Also shot the Ordnance QF 25 pounder (a real GUN) which dated from WW2 and a Ruag mortar.

I really want to shoot an Accuracy International L96.

I could have fired an AK47 when I was in the states but ran out of time over there and my girls friend was busy on the only day we could go to the country side to shoot it.

Dub Ste · 23-02-2012 06:15PM

Godsentme · 23-02-2012 06:19PM

IcedOut · 23-02-2012 06:21PM

jammstarr · 23-02-2012 07:34PM

Shot a 1911 over in Florida two weeks ago.

A guy actually blew his brains out on the range about six hours before I shot there. Good times :cool:

Run_to_da_hills · 23-02-2012 07:39PM

Fired a.303 semi automatic rifle in the outback of Australia.

And that's why if you don't own your own gun you can't rent one without someone with you in most ranges.

Have you ever fired a gun?
