[Misc] Have you ever discharged a firearm?
- Thread starter wellquickwoody
- Start date
Never held a gun in my life and zero desire to.
All of the above (bar never)
Having grown up on a small holding, I had dispatched a number of rabbits and squirrels before I'd even got to secondary school...
I've also been to a gun range in the US as a guest of a friend who lives there, whose colleague was a member. That place was f***ed up.
Barring legitimate use (e.g. pest control) I am very much anti-gun.

MG 42
GPMG
Bren Gun

To be honest, just about most going.
I’ll be honest, it is great fun. Don’t know why. It just is.
However, I am happy that we have very strict gun control laws.

Used to shoot in competitions in my youth. Mainly air rifles but have occasionally shot hand guns and rifles, was decent at it too, regularly placing top 3 in my age group. My brother did it as well and still has a couple of air rifles left from when he later became an instructor.
Airgun when about 10 or 12. Missed everything.
Shotgun twice: once clay, once at pheasants. Missed everything.
Rifle: lots of times at school (.303). Was shit.
There seems to be a trend.

Air rifle and air pistol absolutely loads. Every time we go to The Manor in Devon that’s one of our main activities. I’m a useless shot but the wife and daughter win competitions there. Don’t mess with the women in my family.
Also shot a 2:2 rifle when I was briefly in the ATC and a pistol when I first visited the US.
Not a fan of everyone carrying though.

Did air rifle comps in my youth and was pretty handy.
Went to a gun range in Vegas on my stag and did .38, .44, Glock 17, Shotgun, Uzi and MP5. Great fun. You could either use the plain black targets or pay a little extra for ones of Saddam and Bin Laden etc.

SLR during basic training when I joined RAF. I was so bad I had to re-shoot the range test and only squeaked through on that

Where's the spud gun option.
I was on the set of Fury in rural Oxfordshire when it got shut down by the police for staging a full on tank and gun battle… during their village Remembrance Sunday church service.
