A great day at the shooting range
 

Two days ago (in other words, Wed. 9th), me and my squad were told to make our way down to the shooting range, where officers would be awaiting us with new orders. Well, we hopped in our cars and drove up there, only to find a Lt. who told us to follow his car further away from the town. After about 10 mins of driving throught the woods, we arrived at an old shooting range, where the bombtechs were busy blowing up unexploded amunitions and the likes, so we were told to sit down and wait. While we waited, the techs continued to blow another 5 or 6 piles of ammo, so we got to see some really nice fireworks. When they were done, the Lt. Told us to follow him down to the range, were two plastic sheets were spred up on the ground, and on these sheets there were guns. Guns and ammo for a few hours of complete happiness. These were the guns; Carl Gustaf M/45B, AK-47, MP-5, two muskets from the 19th century, MP40, Thompson M1928, M1 Carbine, H&K G36, M16A1 (a genuine 'nam one!), MG42 and a Colt-Browning watercooled HMG + an AA-version of it (Two HMG's mounted on a 1m high tripod). First, the instructor showed us the guns up close, then he fired the Tommygun, the MP40, the muskets, the MG42 and the AA-HMG's. The rest of the guns, we got to use.

Man, Ive never felt such joy, that was the absolutely best day of my life. I talked to the instructor after the shooting, and he told me basically anyone can get an M1 Carbine here in Sweden, whereas an M16 or and AK47 is strictly prohibited, and really hard to get a license for (nearly impossible, tbh).

Well, back to the shooting. My absolute favorite gun was the M1 Carbine (hence the talk about it), but all of them were extremely fun to shoot. The M1, CG45, M16 and MP5 had absolutely zero recoil. The G36 was awesome with its dual sights (both red-dot and optic), and it was impossible to miss the targets with it.


I guess thats it for now. Ill get some pics uploaded asap.

Discuss.

Shitty pics from a shitty camera, after the shooting. Ill see if I can get some better photos up in a week or two. Stay tuned!

rock:

jealous

I'd fucking love to have an M1 Carbine. Lucky bastard!

The M1 is my weapon of choice any day man. Its soooooo lightweight, accurate, powerfull compared to its size and age and, best of all, it has no recoil at all!

m1 garand>m1 carbine, deals more damage. Like once on avalanche, I must have shot this german dude point blank 4 times with the carbine before he died, and itt would have taken 1 hit with the garand

pwned by video game damage

rofl... a bullet is a bullet you shit chunk.

lol. The Carbine weighs like half as much as the Garand + the Carbine can be reloaded at any time, Garand cant + Carbine comes with 10r and 15r clips, Garand with 8r = 3-0 to Carbine.

Garand packs a punch unmatched by the carbine. You can dispatch 8 enemies in a clip compared to the carbine's feeble 5. Nothing beats church camping with MG42, tho oOo:

Shut the fuck up.

In real life if you shoot someone, doesnt matter how big the round is, the person is gonna drop/flinch/die

Giving at least a few seconds so you can finish him off or whatever.

Who gives a fuck about RL, theres no respawns there.

You're fat.

lemme get a hit of that maaaaaaaaan

sounds like an awesome day, ive only handled a few ww2 guns in my life, shooting one would quite possibly make me cum

oOo:

if by this comment you mean the power, not everything about a weapons greatness is its power. Its about its effectiveness in combat. If the carbine is lighter, and having more rounds per clip.

I'd take the carbine over the gerand.

ide take garand anyday, has a greater distance, plus it shoots out rifle bullets unlike the carbine which does not.

the carbine shoots less effective ammo in DoD than the garand. End of story

Going by the pics you've posted here, Jimmy, a Garand would knock you flat on your ass. That's not a slight against you, that's just fact.

The Garand kicks like a mule.

Garand is too heavy imo. After 20 shots standing your arm that is supporting the gun starts drooping and you'll miss a lot.

...and we all know video games represent real life.

Let me shoot you with a Carbine and you tell me if it hurts less.

It really doesn't kick that bad. A nice little bump but the gun it so heavy that it doesn't do much.

The point is that I was talking about the weapons in DoD, I didnt say it wouldnt hurt to get hit with a carbine. I would just rather be shot with it than a garand

...garand shoots 30 cal? well i shoot k98s fine and that 8mm....

.... GG Schizo.. oOo:

Garand is .30-06

ps I use mosin nagants fine too, so dude wtf?

my dad just bought a garand, but I have yet to use it......

wtf?

gun + heavy = lessen kick...

No, you quoted yourself.... and argued oOo:

Maybe I've underestimated your intestinal fortitude, young Jimmy. You're the kind of stock that America needs in these dark, turbulent days.

Go get yourself a rifle and fight, young man! Fight for all you hold dear!

Buy WAR BONDS!

M1 Carbine = .30 (7.62x33mm) 10, 15 or 30 rounds. Muzzle velocity of 1860 fps (~ 570 m/s), effective range of about 200 m.

M1 Garand = .30-06 (7.62x63 mm) non-detachable, clip-fed only magazine, 8 rounds. 2840 fps (~ 865 m/s), effective range of about 550 m.

lmao, I want to I want to join the Marines so bad, but I might not be able to cause I fucked up my ankle, I am still waiting until April to find out if I can join.

[quote=CoMaToSe]No, you quoted yourself.... and argued oOo:[/quote:be446]
lmao, that was supposed to be zone


go me rock:

M1 Garand>Most modern Rifles
the Garand can punch through bullet proof glass oOo: i wouldnt want to fuck with it. Ive held an m1 def heavy, though didnt shoot it, however, i know where i can get my hands on a Kar98k, Mosin Nagant, Lee Enfield, M1 Garand and Carbine along with many others, Maine is a nice place to get guns biggrin: Kittery Trading post bitches

Did you get to fire one of these yet?
