I was thinking the other day about all the people who play shooting games and have never held a real gun. So how many of you gamers have fired a gun?
I have many times and I am a pretty decent shot.

Being a Brit I haven't (except an air rifle at a target) but I don't think I would even if I could in America because it doesn't appeal to me so I vote for the first option.

I've fired guns (at targets) before, it was ages ago (I was maybe twelve at the time) when I first did and my thoughts were something along the lines of "why isn't there a crosshair floating in front of me?"
It's good fun though, wouldn't ever want to go hunting or fire a gun at a person though (excepting that I would love to rid the world of Paris Hilton in any way I can)

was allowed to fire about 50 rounds on an M60 machine gun when my dad was in the Marines and took me to a firing range.

have also fired a remington shotgun the few times i've been invited to go bird hunting.

my dad and grandfather both have several fire arms in their houses, however, both of them have also removed the firing chamber of the weapons they own, rendering them useless. (precautions you take when a kid may accedently find your gun.)

My Dad makes and repairs antique firearms so there's been rifles in every corner of the house my entire life. I've fired a couple different flintlock rifles, a modern pistol, pellet guns, and of course airsoft, paintball, and BB guns.

The closest thing I have fired would have been a water gun filled with... wait for it... WATER!!
But I intend on firing a gun atleast once in my life.

Our school has a stock of L98s for the CCF. Along with cadet rifles for the range (I don't know, I think they might be Mark 8's?).

So yeah, I'm an experienced marksman. With L98s, and mark 8s, at least.

I've never fired a gun but playing a lot of shooters does make me feel more confident around guns (probably wrongly so) but don't let Jack Tompson know that, haha.

I've fired several semi-auto rifles and a .44 mag :p
Revolvers are quite possibly my favorite gun I've shot so far.

I've shot plenty of guns, .22, 30.06, 30.30, damn near every type of shotgun, muzzle-loader, and my dads .357. Big hunting fan, and it's great fun teaching people (most of all hot girls) who have never held, much less fired a weapon before the in's and out's of how to handle a fire-arm.

The biggest I have ever shot is my grandpas 12guage Beretta semi-auto shotgun. Aside from that theres the .22 long rifle, and that one lever action rifle he has, not sure what caliber...

I am an ok shot, for some reason i am better with the shotty shooting clays than the .22 or the lever action shooting a stationary target.

I was raised around guns and think education and experience with firearms is extremely important. I've shot a lot of different firearms.

I've gone shooting (At targets) with my step-dad two or three times, so I know how to handle a gun, but I don't regularly use them.
