Keep thinking the .22 was unloaded

Post by Korkt » 22 Sep 2014, 10:21 am

It's been ages since I've shot a rimfire but had a blast with a few mates at the range over the weekend as a pair of them just picked up new bench 22's.

So used to the centre fire 7-8 times I fired the 22 and thought I had forgot to load it from the little recoil :lol:

Brain-fart aside they're fun little rifles to shoot. Time to add one back into the safe I think :D

I took a pair of friends out shooting on the weekend a few weeks back, one fired my .22 a couple of times throughout the morning not realising it had no ammo :lol:

My poor firing pin :(

Good old .22 recoil.

I just love how many newbs are scared of it until they fire one :lol:
