the usa has to be one of the last places anyone would want to invade..lol

all the citizens are armed to the teeth

i fire knuckle children out of a skin missile

Not quite. I don't know many people that actually have guns.

But some of the people I know that DO have guns have more than some military forces.

we don't have much of anything that anyone would get in exchange for invading.

relatively little oil, no strategic metals to speak of, not all that many strategic resources in general that would be takeable and worth taking.

so, no point in invading. any attacker would try to reduce us from a distance, and probably by proxy.

we're already doing a pretty good job of reducing ourselves.

never fired a single weapon... that's for DEVILS, assesins and nazis wannabe republicans.

BTW, in most decent countries, people CANNOT buy weapons over the counter, or when you open a bank account... KIND OF SCARY to give monkeys an AK-47...

Civilians should not be allowed weapons... and death sentence is not allowed in decent countries..

I really wonder what SICK RETROGADE country allows civilians to buy a weapon like they buy a chocolate and which country allows Death Penalty... In what sick alien planet do you guys live??

.

i dont remember the name of them all.
in korea i fired a Beretta hand gun. it was connected to the table so you couldnt wave it around..and since the table is built for koreans, i had to get down to shoot, not that fun.

shot some more guns in vegas...was very cool...hand guns, machine guns..dont remember the names of them all, near the end everyone was trading so we all fired lots of kinds.
some people in this biz are hella good shots

We already sell our best anthracite to china, or so I have read. It's arguably true that 40 years from now we will be so weakened that if china wants our coal, or our real treasure our fresh water, we wont be able to stop them - but they wont have to invade, we'll happily sell it to them.

war with asia is inevitable, but it won't be our personal weapons that stops it, nor will it be by invasion. they will just outbid us and out-position us for the last good oil and the important strategic metals like tantalum and neodymium and the other rare earths. They'll control us by strategy, not invasion.

gold is not a terribly valuable or important metal strategically, so I didn't even consider it.

and personal weapons are no match for military weapons systems.

I suppose it's conceivable that china could occupy the west coast, but it's hard to imagine why they would want to. We'll sell them anything to keep our consumer society consuming.

I fired a grenade launcher in Cambodia at old cars. good fun. I also heard you can also blow up live buffaloes but I didn't as I felt sorry for the fellas.

Shot guns and rifles. Never a hand gun.

Civilian..too many to name. everything from a walther ppk to a 44mag.
When I was in the service. m16,m60,m203,m72law. 45, and the biggest one. I did the rfb for a live Pershing missile launch. That was impressive to watch.

The 700 has some serious safety issues that Remington has known about for decades. Could have been fixed for a few cents years ago and now its a few bucks a gun.

Unless it can be modified into a safer platform I would not load it. :2 cents:

haha yep, they offered us the opportunity to blow up a cow. we politely declined. were you on a military base as well?

Sniper Rifles: M82 SASR, M40A1

Rifles: M4 Carbine, M16

Machine Guns: M240, M249 SAW, M2 .50 cal

Grenade Launchers: M203, MK-19

Rockets: AT4, SMAW

Handguns: Waaay too many too list :P


You've probably guessed that I was in the military, hahha. By FAR the most fun I had firing a weapon was the MK-19 full auto belt fed grenade launcher. During SOI (School of Infantry for the USMC) you fire the MK-19 and you're supposed to fire short 1 - 3 round bursts. As soon as I pressed that trigger down I was instantly addicted; I couldn't stop myself! As soon as the rounds started impacting it became impossible for me to stop until our commanding officer standing near by started ripping me a new one telling me I'd be charged with insubordinate conduct. I then stopped firing and was made to do pushups for the next hour, breaking only for water.... SOOOOO worth it :)

I'm not a big fan of AKs, and if someone handed me one, I'd probably give it back and ask for an AR15 or a nice dependable sidearm.

catapult ( slingshot to you foreigners)

The MK-19
 

Ah the MK-19:

Hah I was just talking earlier with a friend of mine that EVERY TIME both of us have fired an AR15, it's jammed... every single time, hahahaha Might be cheap ammo but still...

Also just for the hell of it, my all time favorite side arm:

SIG SAUR P226 X-Five Tactical

I owned an Ar15, Desert Eagle and Mossberg 500 shotgun so I've fired those. I've also shot on full-auto:

Ak47, mp5 Navy, mp5k, Thompson45, Uzi, m4, saw, m60.

Yes, thats a .50 cal. It kicks! not necessarily the butt of the gun, but the impact purely from the shell going off kicks anyone around it.

Your fear of guns is something that may bite back. Sure, be afraid of shooting someone or hurting some one on accident, but dont be afraid to grip and fire one. If you live like that then you may someday become a victim and are overall unsafe with a firearm. If nothing else. Handle them to learn how to handle them properly.

always in front. no finger on triggers unless you tend to use it. firm grip. be aware of your shell ejection. if using a hadgun, grip both hands and watch your thumb. be aware of sliding parts of the gun so you dont injure yourself while firing. Always be aware of your safety, on, off or in some cases, where its at on the gun. Try and use both eyes. Most people make some popeye face while aiming.... dont do that. Not with handguns.

Rifles... know where your muzzle is. point it down but dont ground it. Again, firm grip, use your shoulder.

Do all this and you will be more comfortable and more importantly, way more safe.

Last of all. Be confident when firing. Dont be afraid and second guessy. Dont be that girl wondering what its like and letting a pistol fly up and hit you in the face after pulling the trigger. HOLD THAT SHIT TIGHT!! Have fun when practicing :)

Just Shotguns, although I have had an offer to go rifle shooting, just not taken it up yet.

I fired a 22 when I was in rifle club at the ibm country club when I was a kid. Killed lots of time. All the girls in the club were the best shots.

Yes, I've read about that. Safe gun handling was pounded into me when I was a kid, but it's a good call not to practice load it in the house.

I'll test it on the range next year, and handle it with suspicion.

That's pretty much where I'm at except the firing part. I've been to the range a few times so I've gone through the basics- I'm always concious of where the weapon is pointing and I never put my finger on the trigger, etc. I have extreme reverence and respect, pretty much I just have issue with pulling the trigger.

I have a bit of trauma from having someone close to me shot and I need to put that out of my head when I practice. I can't be afraid of it if I'm the one holding it. I know my mind going to that place is not practical- guns don't kill people, people kill people. I can work through it, I just need to get my train of thought on the right track, building confidence instead of fear.

The Germans make some of the most accurate small arms in the world. HK is Prime stuff.

PSG1 Sniper is among the best..

WTF are you talking about?

Good :thumbsup Though yes, you have to get past the impractical fear. I too have suffered the loss of fallen friends. My mother watched her friend get shot then held him as he died outside of some bar back in the day. Some people handle it differently. Some want to get away from that harm, but some want to protect themselves. Im not categorizing either of us as I have yet to have the need or the scenario at hand. Youre on the right track :thumbsup just get out there and shoot some targets for fun. Nothing else. :pimp

Good story. :thumbsup
You're lucky it was just pushups. I would give after hours pack-drill to people fucking around on my range.
