I was in the Air Cadets for three years (I'm English) and I've fired .22's and L98's a bunch of times on ranges. The L98 is basically a bolt-action version of the SA80, which is what the British army use.

Yeah, now that I think about it this is probably part of the appeal for me, too...vanillabeans320 said:
Yes, I suppose you are right. Oh well, that's what shotting web is for.fix-the-spade said:
I've fired a Martini-Henry rifle and a Jungle Carbine. Don't ask me to get specific, I don't know, but I was helping out on a range voluntarily and was asked if I wanted to fire them. They said I was good for a first timer, which I was pleased with.
With the carbine I almost got a bullseye, or whatever they call it in shooting, from 200 metres (I think). It was scoped.
I live in England! Woop!

Ive fired an AK-47 (paratrooper model) an SKS a Ruger MkII and some kind of .22 scoped rifle.
Also a 40 gauge pump shotgun,which I'll use on my broken xbox 360 if i cant get it fixed.
The scoped rifle is my favorite so far.

Yeah, frequently, but I don't own it. Cadets get to fire a nobbed down version of whatever rifle is in service at the time, and mine happened to be the SA80.
I've also fired random .22 rifles and 7.62 rifles, and I have to say, the 5.56 SA80 has the most kickback out of all of them ¬_¬
British btw

Let's see;
I have shot one of my dads handguns
I am part of the local gun-club
I have fired several flintlock weapons in what could generously be described as a combat scenario. (In related notes - though their hard to get, using flintlock weapons on a larp, where 99% of the people don't even have a bow or throwing weaopn, is just brilliant, if only for the looks on a paladins face, when he calls you to a duel, and you draw a pistol)
(Us / germany) One would thing gun regulations are strict in germany, but apparently not so for hunters, and gun clubs. Seriously with what the crazy grad dads have stored in the clubs cellar, we could probably arm half the city :I

Yes, I've fired a Lee Enfield no4, a couple of different 12 guages (in the UK) and an AKM (in the USSR). I don't own any myself though and it has been years since I've fired one. Haven't voted as none fit me.
