Have you fired or swung a weapon?

[WanderingFool]

Target shoot with a .22 and .243 bolt-action rifle, shot skeet and trap with a 12 gauge pump-action shotgun (this I own), shot a .22 double-action revolver and semiauto (though did better with the revolver), and shot bow & arrow in boy scouts.

So I have a little experience

 

[Macgyvercas]

I own two swords, so I have swung a weapon. I have shot a bow, and I own two guns (.17 rifle and a BB gun), and have fired them as well, along with various other calibers. Also, shotguns. I've shot them.

I've only fired BB's, but I kinda taught myself how to use a staff by swinging around a wooden stick my mom uses to keep her tall plants standing straight. I also had a sword fight with my pal using imitation katanas. Not sharp, but still metal. Needless to say, it was a pretty wimpy fight with both of us dashing in then running away.

I guess one could say that I'm somewhat familiar with both firearms and certain close combat weapons, and I have used crossbows and bows at a few occasions as well (but I must confess that I am far from experienced in their use).

When it comes to firearms, I'm the most familiar with two rather old rifles, one Lee-Enfield .303, and a Mauser Kar 98 K which was refitted to use 7.62 caliber after WWII. I also earned the silver marksman badge while I was in the navy, using the AG3 (A modified version of the H&K G3).

Other than that I have been doing fencing for a while, as well as tried my hand at some kendo, and I have a modest collection of Japanese (and asian) bladed weapons.

As a final note, I have not harmed any other being with the weapons mentioned, with the sole exception of bruises resulting from training kendo and fencing.

Only paintball and fake swords(either fake or just dull-bladed). Though I suppose if you think about it, either could be used effectively in some situations.

 

[Danny Ocean]

Yes, several.

- A Dagger
- A Katana
- A Riot Shield
- A Bo Staff
- Nunchukus
- A Longbow
- A Shortbow
- A rifle
- An Assault rifle

This would be amazingly badass, but I've only used most of those for short amounts of time.

Lemme fix that.


There yah go. You can clearly spin it, but can you effectively stab with it? That is the question.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Other than the bullshit archery and bb-gun "training" I got from the Boy Scouts... no, I haven't.

Oh... and I quit the Boy Scouts when I was 12... around the time I became aware of its discriminatory policies.

 

[AvsJoe]

I've let loose a few arrows in my life, but that's it.

 

[Z(ombie)fan]

My baseball bat, in self defense against a violent roa-

I mean, My baseball Bat, at pretty muich nothing. I was just dicking around.

Also my KATANA, again at fucking nothing.

COUNTLESS Nerf guns.

I used to live in a neighborhood that friggin' LOVED having nerf wars.

I had a bow once, Sucked with it.

A toy shotgun that shot darts for all of two Days before snapping in half

I once got in a fight on July 4th, You can imagine how that went...

and lastly, A gun. an actual sniper rifle.

FUCK thats loud.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

I've fired bows and arrows, a couple different kinds of rifles and a handgun. I have a katana, and have also swung a claymore and a kukri.

That you?

also, Nice hat.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

I used to be a member of an archery club, so yes.

 

[stygN]

I've fired some bows, most interesting was when we visited Greenwich Observatory. They had a "Horse archer" setup where you mounted a fake horse on wheels and someone would push the horse. You were equipped with a bow and arrow and was suppose to hit a target. I think I scored a 2.. Not very good : P

I've shot with several shotguns, single barrel, double barrel and pump-action.

I've shot with a decent rifle that I don't know the name of. Picked of a skeet at 100 meters (~300 feet). Used about 10 shots to hit it though : P

And of course my favorite, the AG3. The Americans and British calls it a cannon, Norway calls it a standard issue rifle ; ) Sadly though, the Norwegian military has switched it out with the HK 416.. Sure, it's a fun gun to play with, but it's a piece of shit plastic gun that you cant even use to make a rope ladder, stretcher, bridge or anything else useful.. It's just a weak gun that breaks really easy..

I've never swung a real sword, just some really short katanas (tantos?) and a Khukri knife. The latter one you should really google if you don't know what it is : )

And I've swung some axes, but yeah.. They're pretty common.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

I have shot my uncle's "hunting rifle" a few times helping out with pest controle on his friends farm. I say hunting rifle but it was actually a M24 police rifle. But they were the only times.

 

[Byere]

Well, along with my collection of decorative swords, knives and a battleaxe... I used to do archery as a hobby. Did a bit of clay pigeon shooting in school too. I would LOVE to learn how to use Hookswords properly though.

 

[superbatranger]

Not a lot. I've done archery a few times, but that's about it. I don't really count paintball or BB guns.

 

[HijiriOni]

Shot bows at teletubbies targets in PE during middle school, that was sweet.
Swung lots of swords
Fired a couple rifles, can't stand the recoil.
