I can shoot an arrow but I'm too mentally ill to be allowed on a gun range.

>>10580 Just lie.

The only gun I've ever shot is a nerf gun

>>10579 I love shooting everything from a .22 lr to a 50 cal. Recently wanting shooting with my mosin and cant wait to pay off my .308 rifle

>>10585 They gonna find out about my stay in the psych ward.

>>10588 Just say you were visiting a friend.

>>10579 Just got 8 or 9 new long guns dumped on me. Excited to try them all. Some of them are old or odd. Like a 30-06 pump action and an old French WW1 gun I haven't identified yet.

>>10599 Just dumped on you? That's crazy

>>10600 Yes they have someone on probation moving in that can't be around firearms. Most of them are boring old shotguns. But some interesting stuff was in the pile. Like a .22lr SAA Colt pistol with a 9-inch barrel. The pump action rifle that doesn't have magazine with it. I need to see if they have it because the ones online are going for $100+ for a 4 round mag. There was an old starting pistol in the pile with 500 blanks. Plus they dumped a huge box on ammo on me as well of various calibers. Oh an two French Berthier rifles that pre-date WW2 as far as I can tell. But one is missing the hand gaurds and someone stole the butt plate off the other one. The owner said they ended up in police evidence for awhile when he got robbed and they came back missing all those parts. So I'm guessing someone there knew what they were and robbed the parts for their own gun. I'd like to restore them but last I checked the parts would be pretty high. Just getting clips is expensive then I'd have to make ammo on top of that. The little Colt pistol is worth $1k+. So the internet says. I need a bigger safe.

Colt .22lr pistol with that comically large barrel was really fun. I pulled it out of my pants like Joker in the old 80s batman movie and made my friend laugh. Starting pistol was really fun too. Fired it at a target 3 times and pretended to be angry that I kept missing. Handed it to my friend. They got really mad that they couldn't hit anything with it. They still think it's a legit .22 and not an over engineered cap gun. Tomorrow I going to try out the .25auto pistol that was in the pile and make sure one of the 12 gauge shotguns is functioning. The shotgun had about 30 years of dust caked all over it so the action wouldn't move at first. But a quick cleaning job and oiling freed it up.

>>10631 https://youtu.be/ZJ1s-1eAoh8?feature=shared&t=242 I hadn't thought about this scene in years. Also why does the captcha suddenly have to be filled in every post and why does it keep making me select the drunken 2hu?

Instead of bragging about my good fortune only I'll contribute something maybe worthwhile. I've been shooting for a long time now. Was just part of everyone's childhood where I grew up. I've been trying to get better at various things now that I have access to good information through the internet instead of dumb lore passed around by big talkers in the local gun store or idiots that think they know everything. It wasn't until a few years ago that I got my first red dot and finally learned how to shoot with both eyes open with iron sights. No one ever taught me how and no one I knew IRL ever did that. My shot placement has improved a ton since I trained myself how to do it. I was a decent shot already but now I'm faster. I can find the sights much faster and it greatly improved my groups with pistols and other short barreled firearms. I mostly shoot .22lr because it's so cheap and I have a ton of it. Stocked up after the last shortage back whenever that happened under Obama and .22lr vanished for a year or so. A Remington 550-1 is the firearm I use most often. Does most everything I need and it's cheaper to shoot than most of my other rifles. I like to practice lobbing in long range shots at a local creek. I throw aluminum cans in the water off of a bridge and take shots at them as they float away. Once they get really far out I have to lob shots in with open sights. Doing this over water helps because I can see how far off I'm missing. Grandfather taught me that trick a long time ago. He said it was how he learned.

>>10633 (cont.) I carry a nothing special 9mm auto every day. I'm decent enough shot with it. I don't shoot it as often as I should. I keep wanting to replace it with something else in 10mm or .45 but I can't justify the cost of replacing it. It's a cheap beater gun and I'm okay with that because if I ever have to use it for its intended purpose I know law enforcement will take it away and I'll probably never see it again. I got a good deal on it years ago. They've doubled in price since I purchased it brand new. Internet says the trigger is horrible and you have to do $200+ worth of mods to it to make it worth having. All lies in my experience. It's a really good gun and the trigger is fine. I like the fact that it isn't a hair trigger and has a lot of take up. I've ended up with a lot of firearms over the last 10 years because people die and leave them to me. I have an M1 Garand that's a lot of fun but I'd hate to lug the damn thing around everyday. But as a certain Russian said it's reliable and heavy. Heavy is good. You can always hit them over the head with it. I have a bunch of black tip 30-06 that came with it and tons of clips. I keep it in the safe ready to go in case the zombies come. I got an M1 Carbine with it but I gave it to my father since he likes those. I'll end up getting it back at some point. I have an AR in 5.56mm too of course. I bought a bunch of 20 round mags for it a few years ago. Since they're better when in the prone. I mounted a cheap red dot on it and a good backup iron sight. I don't shoot it that often since I'd rather carry the 550-1 and .22lr is cheaper. Plus it doesn't hurt as much if you take a shot without ears on. Which I have to do all of the time. It'd take too long to go over everything I have but most of them are old break open shotguns in various calibers. I have a few pumps and an automatic as well. I still have my first real gun. A .410 shotgun which I killed my first deer with as a boy. I have a lot of firearms for someone that doesn't consider themself a gun nut. People just keep dropping them off here like they're stray cats. Most of the ones I'm interested in buying are too expensive now. Wish I'd got a FAL kit and an SKS when those were dirt cheap. Same for a decent AK. I'd really like to get a black powder kit. Probably a flint lock. But I keep putting it off. Can't justify spending money on this hobby when I rarely shoot anything for fun as it is. They're mostly just tools to me. I don't understand or associate with the range fags. They're weird.

>>10632 a new captcha system has been implemented to finally curb CP and scam spammers and so far has worked very well, sorry for the inconvenience! with this, however, the possibility of VPN and Tor posting opens up which some hikarins have been wanting for quite some time. i believe Syrno is planning on implementing a once-per-session thing but for now it's per-post, gomene.

>>10579 i'm planning on getting a .177 airgun because getting a gun here sucks
