What's the best gun you've fired?

[petemacsydney]

Whaaaat? An M60 loses out to your Tikka? C'mon

M60 wins on fun factor, but i just love the Tikka for shooting accuracy.

I'd love to give a 50cal m82 barrett a go though. it'd probably win on all fronts!

[Chronos]

If you go to the states Vegas is where you want to go

Yeah, I've got a mate who goes there a couple of times a year but to be honest the thought doesn't do that much for me. I'd rather go to camp perry

As wrench an said knob creek (ironically named) is the place to see the fun stuff, helicopters dropping napalm etc,

Las Vegas is heaps of fun, but in small doses only IMO.

I went for 4 days and it was probably a day too many TBH.

I don't gamble so wasn't doing that. After you see all the casinos just to check out the interesting buildings the only thing that's really left to do is binge on food and booze. I'm not 20 any more and the body can only take so much abuse

Definitely worth going at least once though.

[Lorgar]

Oh, and if you go...

Diablos Cantina... Atomic hot wing challenge... Do it.

Get another Aussie next to my photo on the fall of fame

+1 for that.

Gotta say I've never understood the appeal of just spraying a sheet of paper with 50 rounds full auto.

Where's the fun in shooting a 2 foot group every time...

Definite fun factor to do it once or twice, but useless as your regular shooter IMO.

They covert them to .22 because they charge the same as everything else about $3 a shot! Half the people didn't even know just commented that aks don't kick as much as expected haha

Wow. Someone's making a fortune at $3 a shot for a .22

2,000% markup... Good business.

As it shows I live in the US and own/have owned quite a few different things. I was also in the Navy and had the chance to shoot a M60 once but one of my most favorite guns I can remember shooting was when I was younger going to a rifle range with my buddy and a bunch of our guns and shooting his Ruger # 1 in 45/70. We were shooting at a gong at 3 or 400 yards and I still remember the moment of peace when you would recover from the recoil and wait the instant and hear the loud bang when it hit. The bullet was moving so slow but had so much energy when it hit it hit with authority. I got a good scope cut from that rifle and I still tell folks about it. I have looked at buying one several times but my gun money has always went to other stuff. Some day I will own one of those guns. The gun I shoot the most now is my 3 gun pistol a Glock 17 with a few choice options.

I was at the pistol range the other day and one of the blokes had a deringer that fires .45 rounds and 410 shells. Was a lot of fun but I don't think I'd want one. My hands still hurt from the 410

[teekay0]

.303 Bren gun, I empty a 20 and 30 shot mag on a car body on a farm in Qld, 1979 it was.

The Bren had seen better days, stock was taped up with duck tape.

Ha ha.

I've seen that in full pistols like the Taurus... That would be mad in a little Deringer though

[Norton]

.410 pistol? Nah.

12 gauge.

[Westy]

We had a BREN on the farm and masses of milsurp, Pop occaisonally let us have a couple of magazines worth . This was in the late seventies in a soldier settlement area so not much was said.

He was a pretty cool Pop and insisted we know about things like that, it was a generation that still remembered the threat of invasion.

He shipped a Bren gun carrier and a Blitz truck back home for use on the farm a year or so after the war was over, having been an armourer and an instructor I reckon he shipped a lot more than just the carrier. All of the work clothes were ex aust army uniform and I hated the boots. There were at least half a dozen crates of .303 ammo just sitting at the back of the implement shed when I was a young bloke in the late seventies.

The BREN carrier didn't last long but the BLITZ was sold in the mid eighties with the farm and is still going.

Are we related or something?

Our Grand-dad had a Bren, they had a problem of running on when they got hot or at least ours did! :shock :

Best rifle I've ever owned would have to be my 6.5 Sako, although the SKS's were a lot of fun in their time and bloody cheap to run

[wrenchman]

Thinking of fun guns I was reading lots of the old Winchester model 92 with real short barrels were sold in your country and were real popular has any one seen them or shot them they had about 13 inch barrels and were for trapping.

That would be fun to play with a while.

[Seconds]

.410 pistol? Nah.

12 gauge.

Ha ha. That's epic.

Need to book in a trip to the hospital for your wrists before shooting it though.

[bigfellascott]

I loved using the M60 and SLR but I reckon the best so far has been the 50BMG - what a blast that thing has! blows ya hair back and rattles ya teeth.

[nords]

but I reckon the best so far has been the 50BMG

That's top of my fantasy list

[teedo]

12 gauge.

That looks ghetto as

[bigfellascott]

That's top of my fantasy list

She's a real hoot to shoot I can tell ya, but bloody expensive at $20 a shot!

[nords]

Yeah, wouldn't get rid of the .22 for plinking right away that's for sure
