A few semi-auto rifles. Fired real nice too.

.22 rifle, bolt action, lever action and semi-auto.
.30-06 rifle, pump action and bolt action.
.303 rifle, bolt action.
.44 rifle, bolt action.
12 gauge shotgun, double barrel (side by side and over-under), pump and lever.
10 gauge shotgun, pump action.
.22 Target pistol.
Various air-rifles and BB guns.

And now the fun stuff.

Steyr AUG - only a few rounds at an ADF familiarisation/recruitment thing.
Minimi - again, only a few rounds at a the same event.
SLR - same event.
105mm (I think) field gun - blank shell. Same event.

A shot gun, and a few rifles, nothing much.

Oops.

Yes.. semi-auto pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns and harpoons.

I've never fired a gun but would somewhat like to try a sniper rifle.

I have made deliveries involving 9mm (from a military base) and a couple of rifles (from the RCMP armoury).

No, I haven't.

Oh quit hating on others who just get to fire one of the coolest automatic weapons of all time.

Yes, I have successfully operated firearms.

- Fired a .410 shotgun with 000 buckshot. Managed to hit rather small targets.

- Fired a .22 rifle. Very easy to fire, managed to hit targets at the relatively young age of 11 or 12.

And I'm a decent shot. Though I'll leave the shooting to my fiance, I think, whose had more practice than I.

A 20 gauge? You do realize that the smaller the number, the bigger the gun. Like a .410 shotgun isn't nearly as big as a 10 gauge shotgun.

BTW, a single barrel 20 gauge is going to give more recoil than a semi-automatic.

All I know is my shoulder smarted for a while after firing that thing. If a semiauto gives less, that's great.

And the 20 gauge is but a welping little puppy compared to the 12 gauge shotgun. And the .410 has practically no kick at all.

I've fired a .38 snubnose (revolver), .22 semi-auto pistol, hinge, pump, and semi-auto shotguns. Bolt-action, lever-action, pump-action, semi-auto rifles of calibres .22, .308, .30-.06, .30-.30, 7mm mag. And a .45 flintlock, and a .50 percussion cap muzzleloader.

Why She's in Mendicino, at least 600 miles away from me. We get along fine.

I don't like the idea of being completely unpractised in this skill, even if I don't feel like I have a regular need for it.

However, there are time and money constraints which keep me from doing this in the near future.

If you're ever in my area (Southwestern Indiana) give me a call. I'd be glad to take you to the range or the wooded area where I shoot my long guns.

The shop I go to even rents subguns (MP5SD, Uzi, Colt 9mm) for use on their range only.


Plinking at cans or other targets is a family activity down here.

Delete this please

Back when I was about 4, my Dad took me out, and I fired his gun a bit, he was real safe about it. I fired at a Milo tin about half a football field away.

Yup.
Fired a .22 target pistol (a breeze to fire), a pair of identical palm-sized .22 pistols (kicked like hell, too small for my hand (slide sometimes hit my hand), had a really high pull, and were poorly made/maintained--the damned slide popped off on each of them once during the shooting session!), a 9mm Glock, and a 9mm Ruger.
On a previous occasion, I went trap shooting with a friend, used his double-barrel shotgun, and actually scored higher than he did with his pump shotgun (it was my first time ever firing a real gun, and he had been trap shooting before...).
Haven't been shooting since, though, and I don't own a gun of my own. I'm generally unaware of local (Washington State) laws about guns.

Yes. Unfortunatly i can't talk about the circumstances because board rules prevent us from talking about illegal activities.
