Shooting Range

[twistoffate19 0]

For the first time in my life I went shooting with my buddies and his dad. We only used one 9mm, and a .45 Handgun, but still it was awesome. I want to be a cop, so I'll have to be good with a gun (hopefully won't have to use it). I surprised myself, by being extremely accurate with the .45 . I sucked with the 9mm. Just thought I'd share, cuz it was one of the best things I've done this year. So fun!!!

I just recently went to the shooting range for my first time to. I shot a Glock and a .45 a .45 Magnum and .44 Magnum. The Glock was my favorite. The .45 Magnum was really powerful. I really liked it to.

i rember the range with found memories. shooting from 200, 300, and 500 yards. with an M-16A2. i had always thought that it would kick alot but a b.b. gun has more kick.

my favorite weapons to shoot (i was in the marine corp)

M-16A2

HK USP45 mk23 mod 0 (.45 acp)

M-40 (remington 700)

m-249 saw (automatic .223)

You don't have to be that good to be a cop. I remember when dad got his old S&W 5906 and a couple instructors were setting up at the range for night qualifying. He asked them why his groupings were off and his were tighter than their attpempts.

I'm going to a range in a couple of weeks with my dad and his friends. It will be my first time... I'll shoot a .22 rifle, AR- 15, glock and maybe a .45

I do quite a bit of shooting. i would have to say my favorite times were shooting and 50 cal M-2, and British .303, and an MG-42

Target shooting bores me. Skeet's where it's at.

and an MG-42

That was really funny!

Hunter4oz were you shoot with the MG?

I shoot with it when i was in the army (Italy), very funny times! :lol:

I also like the the beretta rifle 70\90 5.56mm very easy to shoot with!

I'll shoot a .22 rifle

Dont shoot a .22 that's a waste of money. It's like a pellet gun.

You don't have to be that good to be a cop.

Yes you do. At least where we are. In our shop we will wash you out if you are not good enough. I can't tell you how many people make it to week 23 and still can't pass the training.

Marksmanship and fighting with a gun are two different things.

i used to play counter strike

I shoot a gun quite often but i have never been to a range. We just go out back and shoot beavers and such. :D

anyine have the chance to shoot the barret .50 cal sniper rifle. it does not kick as much as you think. can hit a target out to 1800 meters

No arguement on your second point. I watched some of the qualifying that night and they got to keep repeating the test until they passed. One guy had to re-do his session 8 times before we left.

Some cops prefer the "spray and pray" technique.

My favorite, btw, is a Taurus .454 Casual revolver. I use it for black bear hunting.

i love shooting, me and my dad go shooting alot. Most of the time it is Sporting clays. but sometimes we go target shooting. I think everyone should know how to shoot a gun its a great thing. I love the 1911's we have, and of course my Mossberg semi shotgun

No kidding? Wow, we give them two tries. On fail they remediate and then try again. If they fail again they lose their gun. They have to take a requalifiying class after which they start over.

Sporting Clays is hard...but fun.

We use SKB and Browning over-unders.

Wow! You guys do have a license for THOSE weapons?

Here they are forbidden as hell, if they catch you with one of those they bring you to jail and eat the key!

Pretty good machinegun anyway, and it was built in 1942!

Pratically it's the same as the germans used during ww2 (exept for a liitle modification for the one of the italian army), if i remember well it has a rate of fire 1600 round per minute (1200 for the modificated one)!

to own fully automatic weapons you need t ohave a classIII FFL (federal firearms licese). they are very diffacult to get. once you have one you can get anyting in full auto.

I have no idea what the regulations are here, that's just what I saw.

There were a couple guys from NJ who used to drive to the one range near where I grew up because it was the only place they could let fly with their full autos. I tried out an MP5 the one time they were there.
