No nope
Never ever ever ever never
Go away fbi
i have 2000 hours in payday 2 is that good enough
>surprisingly, 90% of Americans have never shot a gun
Ive shot guns, but not funs like you burgers have.
between guns and funs... what's the difference? Does it matter?
And 95% of statistics are made up on the spot
Guns are bad, mmmkay.
I have and no it didn't
I've never thought we needed heavier restrictions
I've shot my friend's guns a few times. Pistols, shotguns, rifles. Didn't change shit about my views because I already thought they were fine. Might get a gun some day.
Yup
been shooting once before with some semi-auto pistols. it was fun but i still think there should be a national registry and the shit should be heavily controlled and manged just like automobiles at minimum.
makes me feel feels that the AK column is so outdated most people wouldn't familiarise with half of it if they bought an AK today
only shot pistols
and no it didnt change my views
I still believe Gun Control is a shitty scam against the people by corrupt politicians to make it easier for their customers the criminals and the mafia
>shag carpet
get out of your dads house
I plan on buying a handgun soon for the house. I grew up with a BB gun/pellet gun hybrid but only fired bullets a few times in my life. Once was skeet shooting with what I assume was a .22. It was pretty great.
Sidearms look like fun, and it’s hard to get your hands on semi autos here. So yeah, it kinda sucks.
dude are your feet god tier for flip flops or do they need to be hella thick between your toes?
>skeet with a .22
Its fun. The deafening pop. The smell of gunpowder. Watching shit get torn to shreds. There was a door at the shooting range last time i went and i blew a hole in it with a shotgun. And i shot a few clay pigeons out of the sky. My first time shooting. The shooting range is out in the desert so you can bring whatever you want. There were computers TVs propane bottles all sorts of shit. Gives you a good idea of what bullets can go through what materials.
I shot one for an article that I was writing and the resulting PTSD brought me to the conclusion that only police officers need these weapons.
Need to be thick honestly. 9.5US size feet.
Er. 12 gauge.
glowing nigger wants database update

I'm an American.
Of course I've fired guns, opposed gun control, and voted for Trump.
Because, I'm an American.
99% of the time this is true.
That sounds more likely
Though props if you had an area where you could freely fire rifle rounds into the sky
>tfw shooting out by Sloan after playing Fallout New Vegas
never shot a gun before and think they should never be banned
What a kunt
A better question: can guns be fired in space? Is all of the oxygen needed for the explosion in the cartridge? Does oxygen need to be in the air surrounding he barrel for complete combustion to occur?
Fuck off kid.
It was at my aunt's house right by the highway. Texas, buddy.
I've heard people say gun powder has its own oxidizer so it can work in space
Then I've seen videos of people trying to ignite gun powder in a vacuum and it not working, though it wasn't in a bullet case
So fuck if I know tell the NASA niggers to bring a hi-point up with them next time
Hey I didn't authorize you to post this image! I'll be in communication with the admin to have your account suspended if you don't immediately take this down.
L1A1, lee-enfield no4, browning hi power. Want the fuckers back. Also various shotties from 410 to 12g.
Ive actually wondered this and yes. They can be fired in space. Gun powder has its own oxidizer. We can fight aliens with what we have.
I've shot everything from pistols, to AR-15 and AK, even a 50 cal.
It's the only good thing about living in Oklahoma.
My neighbor was a licesned gun dealer and I'd help him attach scopes and reload sometimes.
Most fiun to shoot was the 50 cal, but the M1 Garand or 8mm Mauser really kick the shit out of you and blast everything apart about as good as the BFG.
To be fair, that's how I'd feel if I were forced to do something I didn't want to do, too. Shooting guns for them is like bottoming in gay anal sex for us. Intimately experiencing the enemy
I did and I was literately shaking. I cried afterwards and vowed never to shoot a gun ever again.
Look up gyrojet ammo. Carried oxidiser in the propllant, worked like a little rocket.
I had one but before I could shoot it I lost it in a tragic boating accident.
Wasn't that just rocket fuel in there though?

I too have lost several hundred guns in boating accidents. I should really buy better boats
I have shot a G3A3 and G3A4, a .45, a MG3, HK11, rheinmetall RH-202 anti-air artillery and have thrown drill grenades.
Every man should know how to fire a gun and learn to respect it.
>Every man should know how to fire a gun and learn to respect it
But not own?
You should probably learn to respect your debt payments before spending money on guns
Touche, mutt. Touche.
Yes I have and this was my reaction.
>youtube.com
I shot weapons in the military, I dont own guns. The overwhelming majority of people dont own guns in greece.
Everytime this is true. 99% of the time.
How did you feel about the G3?
I was raised to respect firearms. I've shot several, always enjoyed the raw power of these exploding tubes filled with lead and brass that we colloquially call guns. I don't hunt, but I respect people with the stomach to do so.
Nitrocellulose + oxidiser. Instead of the propellant exploding behind the bullet, the propellant was contained withing the projectile, the gas providing thust. Gun jesus did a vid about iirc.
Eurofag here. Was in Berlin on New Year’s Eve. Saw a muzzie empty a mag in the air on a busy square. Run. Called 112 (euro 911). They say that’s normal. Tell the police, they tell it happens, don’t even ask for a description of the guy but say it’s normal.
That changed my mind.
It's a powerful gun, low recoil, very reliable and very easy to maintain and clean. The only downside is the weight.

About immigration and allowing mudslime into the EU?
>How many of you have shot a gun before? And if so, did it change your views on gun control?
I grew up in a household that hunted, and have been shooting since the age of 4. I enjoy it totally, and my views on gun control have changed in the last few years. I frankly think there is too much gun control, and not enough enforcement of current laws. It is apparent by looking at gun statistics that there is little enforcement in "urban" areas. I see no reason why I should need a NFA permit to affix a suppressor to my hunting rifle (30-06). It is not like the movies, but most people think it is. I think it is unfair that I am involved in animal population control, and my choice is to wear ear plugs all day in the woods, or damage my hearing.
I own a few firearms, and nothing out of the ordinary....Just the basic medley of what most sportsmen have: A sporting .223, a hunting 30-06, a small game .22 and a semi-auto 12g shotgun. I have a "back yard" .177 break barrel pellet rifle that shoots 1000ish fps....a few small caliber handguns.
In order for me to purchase these arms, I had to prove to pass a background check. People bitch and complain that there is not enough regulation, but fuck them. I can pass a federal, state and local background check done over the phone and be out the door in 15 minutes with my new property. They can fuck off. I don't ever drink or do drugs, and have no criminal past. I am a lawful citizen. Why should I suffer "gun control" when they don't bother trying to control Tyrone and Marshawn in Chicago with a pile of stolen/illegal handguns?
Gun control only works when there is enforcement, and they don't bother trying to enforce it, OR need help from a federal level. I can't see why the national guard & active military cannot be involved in a place that is less safe then Syria.
Fuck gun control. Look at the effect ours had.
Respect for Greek bro, whose calm says "fuck you stereotype guy"
I was against that before. About gun laws. I wanna be able to defend myself, especially if the police won’t.
We've got enough firearms to arm at least a thousand or two, though most of them would be used as blunt instruments.
I've shot all the guns, and own all the guns. I was fascinated with knives and guns since childhood. It is a wonderfully fun hobby and gun ownership is a necessary part of maintaining the United States as a free country.
We have this discussion all the time on /m/. The real problem with firearms in space is the recoil.
I've been shooting since I was a kid. Got my first shotgun (a single shot 20 gauge) as a gift for Christmas when I was like 8 years old.
It's estimated that about 35% to 42% of households own firearms. Way more than 10% of Americans have fired a gun.
Yes
No, I always believed in freedom
In the 70s the russkies reputedly fired a modified t23 cannon from the almaz space station, using thrusters to balance recoil.
Theres also this

Yes. No, but i was very young and didn't really know the laws back then. Laws are the same now, this was pre-Dunblane but i live in Norn Iron anyway so it didn't really affect us. It was learning what the laws actually are that made me hate goy control.
Fired an AKM at a gun range over here. I was surprised at the shockwave it generates. The ear protectors stop your ear drums bursting, but they dont stop the little air pressure kick in the lungs you get with every shot
No change to views; still believe in semi open access to firearms
Fucking dunblane. You know the files for that are sealed for 100yrs? Really makes you think...
Loads of people had given warnings hamilton was a nutjob.
yes
learned that you need to be very careful with guns because you can very easily shoot yourself/others
didn't change my mind; retards want mommy state to take their guns
Yes, bullets work in space.
Mythbusters tested it and a bullet will fire in a vacuum. The Russian space station Salyut 3 had a 30mm cannon on it in case Americans tried to board the station without permission. It easily would have taken out a space craft in a single shot.
They fired all the rounds just to make sure it did work before decommissioning the station.
en.wikipedia.org
Good on you, buddy.
Quality bait.
Try and shoot a newer polish variant. A Tantal or Beryl.
I have.
No, it didn't change my views on gun control at all.
I've always been pro-second amendment.
Why would that even need to be tested? Because of the no fire in space thing? The gunpowder is sealed airtight in the casing. Of course it will fucking combust.
These are surpisingly hard to find at the ranges, havent seen any in the local ones. On a side note, us Poles seem to really like the AK - enough that weve been using revisions of it ever since we got one
>stats ending in 2011
Your crime has been sklyrocketing since then because of muslim immigration. London is more dangerous than New York now and has a higher murder rate.
You probably need to bin all your knives. That's the solution. And ban the purchase of acids/bases without a permit, and ban whatever they think of next.
Nah, man. It was just a simple mistake. Perhaps you should read further into the thread or checking replies before posting.
In Poland there's like half a gun for 1000 people so they're extremely rare, I joined a paramilitary as a teenager to join the shooting range and I loved every second of it
>the smell of gunpowder
>the feeling of recoil
>the sight of the ejected case
After I stayed there and learned a thing or two about guns I realized how dumb people when it comes to guns and that they don't understand how they worked. They're afraid of guns yet they don't even know what they're afraid of and would rather stay ignorant. I say fuck 'em.
>Why would that even need to be tested?
Because people are retarded and don't understand how guns work at all. 90% of people are retarded when it comes to basic science and most people don't even understand the most fundamental aspects of chemistry.
Russia was more interested in how the recoil of such a powerful gun affected the space station, they knew it would work. They decided to shoot all the rounds when they were done with the station because why not?
They just banned sales of strong acid, except to professionals. Few years we'be banning fists and teeth.
Nice pm article on it here
popularmechanics.com
>Russia was more interested in how the recoil of such a powerful gun affected the space station, they knew it would work
This is what I imagined their thought process was. That or seeing if it traveled faster or slower due to sudden decompression in a vacuum.
>teeth
theres so few its not worth a ban
>muh teef
Laugh it up muttley
LOL, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUR FEET?
ARE YOU A FUCKING MONKEY OR WHAT?
So you’ Pro gun confiscation? Got it.
I do and literally got PTSD from it
Oi! Ya got a permit fer that potato peeler?
You guys need to grow some fucking balls. When is Brexit going to happen? Next year, the year after that? Will they have another vote? If the 2nd vote is still Brexit will they make it best 3 out of 5? 4 out of 7? That's how democracy works, right?
Damn unreliable boats. I thought about replacing my lost guns but I never got around to it
