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.

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.
