    There was a thread a little while back talking about H4's gun sounds which turned into the "I know wut reel gunz sownd like cuz I shootz dem before" thread. And I realized there are other people here that enjoy shooting too.
    I enjoy the art and sport of shooting. I've shot alls kinds weapons from handguns to rifles to shotguns . From WW1 era guns like the M1 Girand and Colt 1911's to modern sniper rifles like AR10's and a Barrett M82A1 .50.
    So what have you shot? What would you like to shoot?

    I'm sorry, I only shoot bows like a real man.

    M97 trench gun, Sig Sauer 556 AR, and some other guns of which I never really cared to read the model type.

    I would like to fire a GAB railgun

    I shot your mom. With my *****.

    Seriouslies, I've never been into shooting really, but I did enjoy some archery back when I was young enough to attend summer camps. I was fairly good at it too. But back then my spindly little arms could only manage a regular bow, not one of those fancy compound bows that require actual muscles to draw.

    Who hasn't?
    Besides me obviously.

    Bows are fun. It just never held my attention. But I love the smell of gun powder in the morning. And afternoon and night. But I'm a hillbilly.


    The A5 is nice. But I preferred a 98 Custom with a 32'' barrel. Its simpler and more reliable. I put a drop forward on it and spun it around so my air tank was facing forward to make the marker more compact. I also had a smartparts autococker which was amazing but was very finicky. But when it was running good, it was scary haha

    This is my gun. The only one I currently own. A Remington 1911 R1 .45

    Why is there a knife stuck through the trigger guard?

    Target shooting is nice to get rid of stress. Better than psychiatrists and cheaper too.

    God, I remember this one time I went to a shooting range, my friend brought a .22, couldn't even tell if I had fired it, anyways, I own a 12G Remington Semi-Auto, and my Dad owns a Colt .45 1911. And yes, Shooting is the best stress reliever.

    .22's are still a lot of fun. A friend of mine has a nice Savage .22 with a decent scope. Our range only goes to about 200 yards but its still a lot of fun.

    I also just shot a Mosin Nagant for the first time last week. That was pretty cool. I really enjoy shooting things that have some history behind them like the Mosin or a Garand or a 1911.

    I think I'll try to update the OP with a list of everything I can remember that I've shot.

    Damn, you all just reminded me that I haven't been to the range in ages. I "own" a 91/30 decent bore, and a Remington 1100. The 1100 was my first one, and is my baby. The nugget is just whatever, fun as hell to shoot, but $110 (Screw CA prices and Big 5) doesn't warrant cleaning it after every session (usually).

    I now want to go shooting this weekend and then enjoy that glorious Hoppes No.9 afterwards.

    Good times

    mmmm shooting and beer. My two favorite things. I really enjoy cleaning guns while drinking beer. Or a nice scotch.Its very relaxing. Its like the next step in stress relief shooting.

    I don't think I've been down to the range in a month or so. Which is way to long.
