No, full-auto's are illegal here, so it's just semi. I wouldn't want to shoot on full-auto anyways. I couldn't hit anything.
Re: Testing Chat Thread
Thats why we only used it 4 FIBUA and trench clearing.

Re: Testing Chat Thread
Full auto is fun but expensive. Good luck controlling it under pressure unless you're like active duty or retired I was AF but didn't shoot auto until I was a cake-eating civilian. Wouldn't "son of a bitch" give four bursts?Aaron wrote:Full auto?
Short bursts man, "son of a bitch" under your breath gives good three burts.
Lol, chocs; last time I was out a guy had a C14 Timberwolf in .338 lapua (sp?). At 200 yards he was ripping bits of steel off the gong.
Ho shit, .338 is brutal. Call me pussy, but I draw the line at .300 WM for any shoulder arm under 14 pounds. That kinda gong-ripping shit also tends to get the range master a bit...umm...annoyed at you unless you are a very well contributing member to the club.
That said, I once blew through a 1/4" steel plate at 25 yards with a .50AE Desert Eagle. It was a weird, but really cool, "Pwonk! Riip! Clang!" sound. It was a private range so I put $10 into the kitty for a new target after all 5 of us had riddled the poor thing.
pre-post edit: is FIBUA like the American MOUT acronym?

Re: Testing Chat Thread
Yeah.
He was out with the Pres who seemed more pissed that the new gongs we bought weren't rated for what was claimed.
We were told it would take .50 cal

Re: Testing Chat Thread
Well a Hawken Missouri River repro rifle is .50 caliber. Of course, it's also a black powder rifle. Still, .50 caliber!

Re: Testing Chat Thread
Lol .50 BMG
Matt; 2$ a round or so. I imagine he handloads but fuck that would hurt.

Re: Testing Chat Thread
He said he can't fire that one much because the ammo is too costly, Also the recoil is a bit much. My other friend Richard asked if he was going to get something called a .500 magnum, which is apparently even larger, but he said he didn't think he could handle it.

Yeah that's into stupid territory

Re: Testing Chat Thread
The only thing he said he really wants to get is a .50 BMG rifle, which I didn't know were legal for civillian use.
Re: Testing Chat Thread
Sure, why not?
The semi auto Barret is prohibited here but there are bolts and semis available.
Saw a 20mm ina shop once.

Re: Testing Chat Thread
Remember i'm new to the whole gun thing. I just didn't think there would be much of a demand for anti-material rifles outside of the military and rhino poachers in Africa. I asked my friend why anyone would use that for hunting, and he claimed it would be more humane, since it would pretty much kill anything instantly.
Re: Testing Chat Thread
Well he has a point. I gather they are used by guys in long range competitions.
Re: Testing Chat Thread
Of course some just get bought because hey can be.

Re: Testing Chat Thread
So my friend just told me a story about a gun range he used to go to, apparently some dude was handling his weapon incorrectly, pointing the barrel to the side instead of downrange, (which he told me is a big no-no) and the range officer walked up to him with his hand on his holster, and said: "Sir, put the weapon down or I will draw on you."
I'm glad we didn't go to that range.

Re: Testing Chat Thread
My first experience at a gun range was pleasant except for the incessant "Obama is going to take our guns. So load up on ammo." This was in 2009, which I recall saw a boost in weapon purchases.

Re: Testing Chat Thread
.22's in an open field you can get by with just earplugs, but really anything heavier you should be using both. Even with .22's I'd double up indoors, I've never understood indoor shooting ranges; but I grew up in an area so rural that my dad built a backstand with my help with shovels out of sand and, with a short hike down a switchback trail on the mountainside on our property, there was our shooting range (I also built a tree house, and it was where they'd drilled our well. We had a little cable tram for keeping the well up--electric winch at the top (we had a generator), steel cable, metal cart you could tie stuff too, a slope we groomed a bit and kept clear of brambles. Very rugged). So about 90% of all my shooting was done as a kid down there.

Re: Testing Chat Thread
eh at my high school's shooting range we fired .22s indoors and just used earplugs
never had ears ringing or anything like that unless we'd been at it for an hour or more
