You were not 'special' enough
Paid to have a go on a AK 47 whilst in Vietnam. Scary stuff
When I was in Vietnam I remember that being an option at the end of the Viet Cong Tunnels tour. A few of the guys I was with lapped it up. It was so much louder than I thought it would be.
I have no desire to ever fire a gun myself.
So far 44 people on this thread have discharged a semi automatic weapon, we could take quite literally a highly trained heavily tooled up mob north to Croydon and take some serious liberties

I daresay the locals would be more strapped than us though - be like when the Russians send the young lads over the topSo far 44 people on this thread have discharged a semi automatic weapon, we could take quite literally a highly trained heavily tooled up mob north to Croydon and take some serious liberties

My great uncle who died at Ypres ( see my avatar) was assigned to the machine gun company. What sights he must have seen in his all to short 23 years

Just be thankful nobody recommended a bit of pipe cleaner up the barrel.

I should coco
A mate who was in the Coldstream guards (marching up and down lovely boy) was in when they swapped over. I think he said something along the lines of ‘SLR could stop an elephant, SA80 to unreliable’

.22 rifle in a proper gallery supervised by an uncle, a serving Marine officer. Guess I was around 14.

The SLR haa a greater kick back on it compared to the SA80.
Hence why I always developed a shiner under my right eye after firing the SLR.
Which productions have you appeared in?
Have you killed or been killed by anyone famous?

Yes, once.
At a fair ground in about 1970 there was a stall with a rifle range sort of thing with real, but small, bullets.
I decided that the best way to shoot straight was to line my eyes up either side of the barrel, with the butt of this thing up against my nose.
Bad mistake.
I think a 10 year old kid has about 5 pints of blood inside them? I reckon I lost at least 4 of those all over the place.

Yes, all the above bar airgun. Was in the Uni Shooting Club and shot .22 rifles, we also went down to Devizes to shoot at the Tunnel Club there (infamous for previously Michael Ryan as a member) where I shot handguns. Also, used Uzi, Pump Action Shotgun, .357 Magnum and Beretta at a range in Vegas. Done a bit of clay pigeon shooting too. Enjoyed it, but not done since, and could take it or leave it now.
