I love shooting

pest · **I love shooting -** 11-04-2002, 10:27 AM

Me and a few buds went to the range this weekend. I had a blast. We hd more damn shooting toys than you could shake a stick at. I needed to site in my rifle for hunting season, so I had my .270 and my buddy had his as well. We also had several pistol (.22 with red dot, .357 revolver, .40 semiauto). We had a supressed 10/22 that was deadon and dead quiet. We also had a very nice AK47, rusian made, sytheticstock that was dead on at 120 yrds with iron sites. We were picking off clay pidgeons that we set up on the backstop with relative ease. It made a very satisfying sound. We also had a full auto (class3) AC5.53 (I think thats what it was, maybe a AC5.57, please excuse my ignorance). Very cool. Could be set to single shot, 3 round burst or full auto. The ROF was kind of low, and it bucked (climbed) like crazy compared to some smgs I have shot but it was still very fun.

Anyway, I just love shooting and thought I would share.

aaahhhhhhhh guns! Isnt it fun to spend the day shooting up a hillside! Love doing it. Last time out we must have spent about 2000 rounds.Your buddy must have a class 3 license or you guys are flirting with the ATF. Sounds like a good day, amazing how you had fun, it was SAFE and no crimes were commited with the guns.The second amendment is awesome!

When we did weapons qualification about 2 weeks ago, we finished up at the range, and a few guys had their POV's (personally owned vechiles) with them, with a bunch of weapons in the trunk. Sawed-off's, .38 specials, Colt .45, Thompson, lots of fun stuff. You should of seen the size of some of the holes from the shotty, not the buckshot, but the one that just shoots the big-ass round. Forgot what the round is called, though.

Joe, its called a slug and, yes, those things will leave a mark.

Another interesting tidbit I picked up the other day.....

64,999,987 firearms owners killed NO ONE yesterday!!!!

Bazooka_Joe · 11-04-2002, 11:18 AM

Umm. . .no one died yesterday from a registered weapon owner? Now, how many unregistered Hamas & Taliban killed people yesterday?

Easy killer. It doesnt say registered anywhere and nowhere does it say that it accounts for all weapons. Quit reading more into it that it says.

Nice pic stank.

Bazooka_Joe · 11-04-2002, 12:17 PM

How many were killed by suicide bombers?

[quote="ST_Bazooka_Joe":8e851]How many were killed by suicide bombers?[/quote:8e851]

Do you have to register for that?

Bazooka_Joe · 11-04-2002, 01:06 PM

Yes, but unfortuneatly, registration dosen't last long.

I had some fun with a semi auto shotgun a few weeks ago -- a Spaz 9? The paper target lost badly. angel:

Also, how difficult is it to purchase .30 cal ammo? A friend recently bought an M1 and a Springfield '03 (and is licensed/qualified) but doesn't know how hard it would be to get ammo...30.06 shells are a little too big... Sorry if it's a little off topic!

30 cal ammo is fairly easy 2 get i own 4 m-1's myself and 2 '02 springfields... u can order of the internet but i normally go 2 dunn's or any other place that carries ammunation for firearms.. i hope this helps u out in ur quest 2 find ammo for those fine pieces of weaponry..
