Poll: Pull the trigger 101

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Erm I have fired an old fashioned gunpodwer musket does that count? I pretended I was a pirate at the time (lulz)

 

[luckycharms8282]

Ive shot a number of different fire arms, from BB guns to the Russian shotgun sega (spelling). Although I dont approve of the whole "guns dont kill people, people kill people" controversy, There is something satisfying about pulling the trigger and feeling a kick.

 

[trooperpaul]

Twice, both with my friend's .22 rifle, shooting Sprite cans. Bruises not fun.

 

[Evidencebased]

I tried shooting a couple handguns at a range one time. It was a bit fun for the novelty, and I did okay with the targets, but it's not something I'm really into. If someone invited me along again I'd go, but I have no intention of picking it up as a hobby or ever owning a gun. (Rather spend my money on other things, frankly.) Just as well I didn't fall in love, as I'm firmly in the strict gun control camp. ^^

 

[StormShaun]

I fired a Bullpup or something similar to that, but I liked it it felt really good...

 

[Saelune]

No, but I want to. Id love to go to a firing range and try out some LOW RECOIL guns. As cool as they are, Id never fire ANY magnum. Scary. Id also like to try firing a rifle of some sort. Im also curious if Im anywhere accurate as I am in games. Yes, I know its not the same, but Id like to experience that first hand.

I go semi-professional rifling every other tuesday and I can trufully say that i really really enjoy it. I'm not sure if i'd be able to go sport hunting though... If it's done nothing to me then I have no beef with it... But yeah overall I enjoy it.

 

[etherlance]

Depends on what you define as a gun, I have fired:

A spud gun
An air rifle
A paintball gun
An army simulation rifle
And a BB gun

I have a video of my older brother firing guns like a 44. revolver (I thinks thats the one Dirty Harry used) on a firing range when he went to Las Vegas on holiday.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I have never tried it, but I would like to. I've dreamt about it a few times, for some reason. Similar feeling to my driving-dreams, oddly enough. Well, back when I couldn't drive and still dreamt about it.

 

[AK47Marine]

I have fired a large number of weapons and successfully engaged targets out to 500m. I enjoy shooting firearms for the hell of it, hunting and training for self defense. I've been shooting since I was young then polished my skills in the military.

Personally I own several firearms. Including a remington 870 tactical shotgun, a long range rifle, an AK-47-C, a Rossi Type 36 revolver.

 

[Klepa]

Fired an RK-95 assault rifle, a TRG-42 sniper rifle, and an M72 rocket launcher.

It was alright fun I guess, although if someone asked me to go to a firing range, I'd probably decline.

 

[bladecuttersedge]

Fired a few guns recently:

SA80
AK47
MP5
MP5-SD
.357 revolver
Browning semi-automatic
.303 sniper

I'm a pretty good shot, but even so the AK is awful at grouping. The .303 is pretty satisfying to shoot though.

 

[AWC Viper]

I got pig and roo shooting once a month, got a 30.06 to play with now, big upgrade from the .22 i used to play with.

 

[Gaiseric]

I learned how to shoot when I was 16.

I've fired:
4 different 1911s(S&W, Taurus, Colt, Springfield)
Springfield XD
2 Glocks(full sized and subcompact)
.357 Magnum
.38 Special
Remington .380
Ruger .22
a .22 revovler
.44 Magnum
Walther P38
Beretta 9mm
Mauser C96
16 gauge single shot shotgun
12 gauge pump
Mosin Nagant 1930
MP 40
MP5(Fantastic gun)
M16A2
And a BAR

A couple may have slipped threw the cracks of my memory. I love to shoot but haven't been able to go for a few months. I have some guns and I would like more

 

[OutforEC]

Ex-Military. Pulled a trigger too many times to count, and consider myself lucky that the barrel was never pointed at anyone.

 

[Fragged_Templar]

I have fired a M4 carbine, and I thought it was quite fun. It was nice to finally feel the kick of a real rifle, after firing so many virtual ones.

 

[Queen Michael]

I have fired a rifle several times. It was fun.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

I neither had a chance nor a reason to do so. I am not into hunting, not interested in shooting as a sport and for sure not part of the military, so there is no logical reason for me to shoot anything.
