Used to be we would sit out on the back porch on a lazy Sunday afternoon and shoot lizards off the fence at 20 meters with our air rifles. Air pistols made things a bit more challenging. My neighbor had an incredible eye. The lizard population still isn't back to what once was. We never where tempted to shoot at one another though.

A couple of years ago down at the shooting range they had what I liked to call an urban assualt range. Every Friday night some of the boys would show up with fancy rigs and engage targets at various distances and from different positions. It was a timed event. Gave it a try a couple of times myself and it was a real rush. Knock down a few steel targets with a .45 and you get a real good solid ding. Magazines falling in the dirt and hot brass dropping down your shirt made it a regular Hollywood shootout. Some of the fellas were lightning fast. A couple were so into it that they would travel around and compete in action pistol tournaments. We still somehow managed to refrain from shooting at one another.
This is all making me sorta home sick. I believe I'll go out and sit at my Dillion and crank out a few rounds. Now where did I put that sleeve of primers....

Got myself a Glock 18C with 50rd mag on the way from good ol HK (thats the one in T3 in the crypt scene - the pistol with the long mag that fires on full auto). What kit you got Ozio?

I have got a Western arms Berreta M92fs Perfect, A Tokyo Marui MP5SD5, A classic army M15a4 tactical carbine and A KWC TMP with silencer. I would put on an image but I don't have an FTP.

I also have 2mp5 Hicaps, 1 MP5 locap, and 4 G&P 130 round mags with a speedloader.

Send the pic to me (my email is in my profile) and I will put it on my website and post a link to it. I like to fire guns, real ones though. Have fired .177, 2.2 (both air rifle and live rounds), and a 5.56. The civilians cant leagaly own in Britain so it makes it very hard for them to fire it. Best bit is I am only 15 (16 tomorow)

[Pyromaster2003]

quite a collection!

Oh, by the way, if you like pyro and guns, then according to the press, you must be a terrorist by default. If anyone is related to the media in anway, then look away now, because I think most journalists are despicable sensationalising scum who would run over their own granny for a story. Maybe they should remember that guns dont kill people, people kill people.

Back to the real steel...

Doing the kind of work that I do, it's quite fun playing with blank fire and live machineguns, pistols and rifles. Bang bang bang! On that subject, I may be selling a full-auto 9mm blank Mac-10 machine pistol if anyone is interested; price ?400. PM me.

[bernie]

Blanks!? I am quite sad for you.

mrpyromx, don't bother with the Chinese SKS. Spend your money on the Colt.

Hey Adam, ever see Happy Gilmore? There's a big old goon wearing a T-shirt that reads something like.."Guns don't kill people, I kill People." I better leave it at that before folks get the wrong idea.

I'm a gun afficianado too. I used to do a lot of field target shooting (competition shoots firing at steel knock-down targets shaped like animals etc). In fact I won a few competions in my time and came third in the Nefta Class C scoreboard for my trigger finger.

I own:
A Falcon FN19 .177 cal competition rifle with Tasco 24x optical zoom sight. (Pneumatic rifle charged with a diver's air bottle. Come's close to the 12 lb legal limit for non certificate aquisition).

A Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) Supersport .177 cal break-barrel rifle (first airgun)

Gamo ASI .177 cal pistol

Webley stinger...Great fun BB gun

Beretta 92F 9mm blankfiring semi-auto handgun

I have also fired live .22 cal rimfire on various ranges in the UK.

One day I might back into it all, I have always loved guns, as well as things that go bang and spout forth fire and brimstone :-)

Wasn't sure how comfortable I should feel talking about firearms on a UK pyro site. Didn't want to get anyones gander up.

My all time favorite is a Colt .45 ACP semi-auto. Have literally reloaded thousands of rounds for this bugger. I'm not a crack shot but do have loads of fun. About 15 years ago I lopped my trigger finger off and it makes for a great built in excuse for shooting poorly.

STUART...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hip Hip...

[Richard H]

KABOOM!

(Traditional pyro birthday greeting).

Instead of giving him a birthday beating we should fire him out of a 12" mortar (To McDonalds to grab us folks round the table some fud).

Hi everybody
I got the pictures of some gunz Droizo sent me and they can be found Here. But enough about him, lets talk about me. I got some money, a book on *British* military aircaraft and a computer game. I and someone else made a rope maker-great success and have just finnished a 2 hour frag fest on the interenet playing games. Going to open a bank account sometime, get a debit card and live like a king.

im just wondering what the UK laws are, i know thats a wide question but what exactly can u own/use at a range in the UK. i would have no idea where to start if i wanted to start shooting, i know my niegbour still go's shooting and im pretty sure he owns guns that he keeps at home. (i would ask him to take me with him but he's a bit of a kreep, not sure i would actualy want to spend an extended amout of time with him, lol)
