I have had training with M9 service pistol (9mm), M16, 12 gauge shotgun, Mark 19 grenade launcher and I was fortunate enough to receive training with a Kalshinakov rifle. I can load, unload filed strip and reassemble these weapons and fix minor malfunctions.
I too have fired a variety of weapons. Finding the safety and reloading an empty weapon (magazine or other) is not that difficult. I have a lot of friends that own weapons and try to go target shooting on a frequent basis. Alot of my friends are hunters so I have been in contact with several types and manufacturers of weapons.

I have used a variety of small arms, mostly revolvers, hunting rifles, and shotguns. I had a client that owns and operates a Gun Shop in a nearby city and he gave me a discounted rate for the permit to carry personal arms course, which I passed, and still have the certificate to get my carry permit....but for some reason I haven't done so yet. I guess I really don't want to have any reason to be carrying a handgun around. I haven't been hunting in several years, but I went deer hunting during three different seasons. I feel confident that I can safely operate most commercial small arms.
I would like to try an automatic weapon sometime. Just for the experience.

Does playstation count? Although I wanted to when I was younger my parents would not hear about it at all. Now, that I am officially an adult I just have not thought about it now. Whats the best way to start?

The bolt action and shot guns are used for hunting, the pistols I bought just because, and the AK I found in Columbia.

I do not know if you have to get used to it or something but I doubt I could shoot based on the weight. |
