It was saturday after 5 hours of paintball, my cousin busted out his 40 caliber semi auto smith & wesson glock. It was fuckin sweet. I nailed a two liter bottle from 40 yards on the first try, it was awesome. I saw the flames from the explosion come out of the sides of the gun, then I saw the water bursting out of the bottle as the gun was kicking back. What a rush. But I couldnt imagine having any accuracy at rapid fire. That thing kicked back so hard. I want a gun now!!!!!! Im glad we shot the gun after paintball though, or else I might have been bored all day with the paintball guns. It was awesome, I cant wait to shoot a gun again.

S&W or glock? or both...
both make great guns, but there's a bit of difference in the overall performance of each... I love shooting, just make sure you do all of the safety stuff as well as the fun stuff.

I was actually born in England, spent the first 3 years of my life in new hampshire, and vermont, then ohio for one year, then texas for 7 years, california for 5 years, hawaii for 4 and a half, and now ohio for 9 months.. next on my list... FLORIDA.
If I dont move back to Maui, Im buying a gun and staying in Florida. Havent you ever shot a gun OZ? I thought I was the last one. Its awesome. Not just for rednecks.
S&W or glock? or both...
not sure. He calls it his glock. But I think it may have been a S&W. I thought it was a Smith & Wesson glock, I dont know the difference as it was my first time shooting a gun. Can you use Smith & Wesson bullets in a glock? I know the bullets were smith & wesson, because the shells say S&W on them.

Anyone who thinks guns are bad needs to go shoot some. I have a .22 bolt action, Mosin Nagant 7.62x54 bolt action, SKS 7.62x39 Semi Auto rifle, Ruger 10/22 .22 semi auto, and a .410 break barrel shotgun that my grandmother got when she was 8 years old. Unfortunately I haven't had time to shoot them for a few months.

I wouldnt want to hunt. I don't like killing anything bigger than a fly. Maybe I could go fly hunting? A new sport perhaps?

plinking is what you did today just informal shooting of a can or 2.
and .22 lr is a great bullet for plinking its very smooth shoots well no real recoil dirt cheap and you can get so many guns to use it and find one that suits you also alot of the most popular guns have kits convert to it.

pretty sweet. If I end up getting a gun, I'll probably get a .40 cal, and a .22 for plinking. I like the feeling of raw power from the .40. I'm sure there are more powerful guns, but I couldnt only have a .22 w/o much recoil. Plus I like shooting pistols better than big guns. Arcade style!!

I've been to the range a couple times, shot a .40 glock and a Beretta (.45 I believe.) I really wasn't too impressed. To be honest, I grew pretty bored of it rather quickly. They were loud, smelled like ass, hurt my wrists, and required 5 minutes of scrubbing with that orange soap to get all the lead/grit out. Maybe it was the fact that paper targets feel so unrewarding, maybe it was the generally uncomfortable environment of an enclosed concrete building, surrounded by everything from snubbies to assault rifles, or maybe it was the not-so-friendly demeanor of the guy behind the counter giving me the same feeling I get when I'm making a purchase at the liquor store (that sort of guilty, uncomfortable, why are you spending your money on booze and do you really plan to do anything "constructive" with it feeling.) Anywho, maybe down the road I'll pick up one of those .22 Beretta Neos for plinking (supposedly an excellent pistol -- cool looking too.) Or maybe something of the 9mm persuasion at the most. Not really much of a worthwhile purchase though, considering I live in an urban apartment complex, leaving shooting ranges as my only real option. Did I already mention paper targets are boring?

Me, I have been shooting since I was 9, (I am now 17). I am now at the 2005 World Cup Qualification match here in colorado springs at the olympic training center. I shoot air pistol and free pistol. And no, the air pistol is not something that you can buy in walmart. These are strictly competion pistols, the air pistol is shot at 10m, an the free pistol is shot at 50m. (these are one hand hold, yes that is 50m...). I have not qualified for the world cup yet, but there is still one more match tommorow.......And yes, this shooting is at targets...

I was at my friends house in upstate NY, with my dad, my friend and his family. Up there I shot:
My dads:
Beretta 92FS 9mm
Browning BDA .380 pistol
Sig Sauer P220 .45, and P228 and .357
Also shot my friends:
.22 bolt action (dunno company)
Bushmaster AR-15 5.56mm
Thompson rifle semi 9mm
S&W .44 revolver, 4506 and 689 .45
And a 12 guage, and this 8 gauge that left a mark on my shoulder for 2 months.
SO yea, they're big on guns.
I was at the Bergen County police firing range, and a man there had a .357 and a .50 Desert Eagle. He let me hold the .357 and shoot the .50 with a full clip. My dad tried it and stopped after 3 rounds because the gun was too big and too powerful lol. THose things are massive.

Cheaper? No, you can get just about any soviet block weapon knockoff for less than a decent paintball gun. I know, I own both kinds. Safer? Depends on the owner. IMO the real guns are safer because with the paintball gun, I'm supposed to shoot my friends, though sometimes I don't hear them say "stop!" or "I'm out!" (and I'm not lying, sometimes I just can't hear them).

It's nice to know some other folks like to plink tin cans and punch holes in paper. Our group goes to indoor ranges semi-regularly and there are several women. I have too many firearms to list but 1 of my favorite 4 is my Star .45 compact. It's built like a small Colt 1911. It kicks a bit but is quite manageable. The .357 Colt Python is a straight shooter with .38s or .357s. My .44 mag Smith & Wesson Mountain Gun is as light as the Python and fires .44 Special or Magnum rounds long and straight. The 9 mm Glock is OK. Just a hassle to load the heavly sprung magazines. http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/waffen/violent-smiley-043.gif
