[Misc] Have you ever discharged a firearm?

[South Stand Bonfire]

Have used a shotgun at clay pigeon shooting ranges on 2/3 occasions. The pigeons have nothing to worry about from me though.

 

[Weststander]

Yes, on a clay pigeon corporate day. Gawd it was boring zzzzz.

And paint balling …. great fun.

[Chicken Run]

Was part of the rifle team for the ATC

Fired the SA80 regularly as part of the ATC. Range only.

Belonged to a rifle club for a few years in the early 00’s

Fired many weapons during my time as a stunt performer and actor, contemporary and period weapons;

AK47’s
Various pistols
MG 42
GPMG
Bren Gun
Johnson light
M15
M1911
Colts and a few Smith & Wessons
Webleys

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.

We have a winner

Clay pigeon I found deathly dull as well.

I don’t like shotguns. I don’t like corporate events. I don’t like people who like corporate events.

Could have gone very wrong

 

[Official Old Man]

I can even tell you the day.
15th October 1966, whilst on holiday in Blackpool with my parents, they bought me a gun that fired some sort of round ball. Nothing more than a kiddy toy. I know the date because we drove home the day of the Aberfan disaster.

We had to attend, because the boss wanted photos on the business’s Instagram page, to give the image that we were a larger entity than we were.

I’m not a gun person really. I very much like the vintage and period weapons though. Some of the weapons we used were original WW1 and 2 and held a lot of history.

Replica muskets for a CH4 series I did were great. Is it weird to like the smell of cordite?

Okay. Maybe I am a gun person

Haven’t touched one for a few years though .

Thought there might be more in the "never" category with me. Guess I'm for it when the apocalypse comes.

What about the old purple headed porridge pistol….

You’ll be ok later on, all the Liberals are still in bed at the moment

It’s been years

 

[Insel affe]

Shotgun on Harsons Island, Lake St Clair, Michigan, duck hunting.

Rifle can’t remember make and Korth 357 in the Arizona desert outside Cave Creek.

ticked off my bucket list, no wish to do again.

 

[Baldseagull]

Cap gun
Spud gun
Gat gun
Air rifle
Shotgun
Paintball gun

Shooting isn't that much fun to me, hitting the target is fun but no more so than with darts, catapults, bows, or kicking at a goal really.
Shooting some poor sod in a painful place with a paintball gun, is more fun than shooting rats with an air rifle though.

 

[jcdenton08]

In the Scouts (at a planned event with the army there, not just in the church hall)

 

[happypig]

SLR during a brief sojourn with the RAF.
AK47, 9mm & .357 pistols and combat shotgun (Franchi Spas 12) at the shooting club that used to be under the seafront near the Concord.
Air rifles and pistols galore. A mate had a garden that backed onto a field so we could plink away without worrying.

I hope you keep it clean and ready for use though.

Somehow I don’t think a gun is going to be of much help on that day.

I’m afraid it’s under the bed gathering dust.
