what kinds of guns have you fired?

[Laughing Gull]

me:

Chinese SKS 7.62mm
Remmington pistol grip 12 gauge
Remmingon normal 12 gauge shotgun
remmington 20 gauge double barrel over/under
S&W .357 magnum
Beretta 9mm
various .222 and .223 rifles
.25 semi-automatic pistol


my favorite overall was the .223 fireball. very accurate, somewhat quiet, and not too much kick.

 

[KaNick]

SKS
Several different types and gauges of shotguns, including semi-automatic
S&W .357 mag
several different .22 revolvers
.32 semi-auto pistol
M1 Garand
Black powder rifles ranging from .45 to .54 caliber
30-06 sniper rifle
.38 winchester rifle
several others

 

[Knight-Dragon]

None for me, not unless I join the security forces; possession of arms is illegal in these parts.

 

[IglooDame]

.22, .380, 9mm, .45ACP, and .44mag pistols
.22, M-1, and M-16 rifles
.50 cal Browning
5"/54cal naval gun

The .45ACP pistol is by far my favorite.

 

[De Lorimier]

I touched dozens of guns at work but I never fired one.
I don't wish to do so anyway.

No, not really as it was a joke.

Whatever.

To indulge your boyish gun-obsession thread:

I have held many antique guns, including -
MP-38s/40,
Thompson,
Magnum 44',
Luger,
Walther P-38,
Also several Panzerfausts and Stielhandgranates.

It means little, so what? - They are bits of metal.

So are cars and computers, yet people form hobbies around those as well.

I am armed with wit, the greatest weapon of all!

 

[Stapel]

During a bachelor's party:

S&W 38
Magnum
Some 9mm thing (possibly) Beretta
Shotgun

The shotgun was rather cool.

 

[De Lorimier]

What kind of bachelor party was that?

 

[Cilpot]

I've fired:

AG-3
MG-3
MP-5
A recoil-free rocket launcher (dont remember the name)
A sniper rifle (dont remember the name)
Various pistols

All when I was in the army..

 

[Martacus]

Not much here. Just a .223 rifle and a standard 12-guage shotgun for skeet/trap shooting. Meh.

 

[thestonesfan]

Quite a few.

My all-around favorite would be the Ruger 10/22 rifle. I wouldn't recommend hunting dinosaurs with it, but it's accurate, very reliable, and quite sharp in appearance. Particularly the stainless steel edition. Many a tasty rabbit has found it's way into a stew via this instrument.

The gun I've shot with the greatest kick would be the Mossberg "Riot-Style" shotgun. It doesn't have a stock. Not something you want to be in front of.

The loudest gun I've heard would be the AR-15, a semi-automatic cousin of the M-16.

The most accurate would be the M1 Garand. You can see why the army was reluctant to give these up.

 

[KaNick]

The reason they got rid of the Garand was because soldiers would wait too long to fire. It had a great range but few used it.

 

[thestonesfan]

One of the bullets went through an old plow share at about 100 yards. It was impressive.

 

[Håkan Eriksson]

None

 

[Pongui]

Staple guns. And of dubious legality: spud guns! Or is that a mortar?
