Hello Jow Forums I am from England and have never shot a gun before. This makes me extremely depressed...

Take a trip to Czech Republic: there's all sorts of ranges where you can shoot cool stuff. The women are hot, the beer and food are cheap and delicious.

Lead poisoning travels through

To me having a large group of kids running around unsupervised with access to live guns seems like a recipe for disaster, nevermind the malfunction. Nonetheless, I don't know the first thing about your culture so I can't really comment.
I assume a squib is a bullet stuck in the barrel? How did this happen? What caused Fuzz's ammo to behave like this? What could of happened if the kid managed to fire another round? (If even possible)

It was a bit of a wild west type of day at the range, no doubt. I would have been a lot more tight with the guns, but the kids were all being supervised individually by their own parents for the most part, and I was more acting as a range safety officer type, helping clear jams and post targets and such. A squib is a bullet that doesn't have enough force to leave the barrel, usually due to three things: either old faulty ammo, ammo that got wet, or somebody forgot to put gun powder inside the case when they were reloading their own ammo. This is what happened with Fuzz, he was going so fast on the reloading press he must have forgotten to skip a charge on one case. Thankfully, the bullet only went one or two millimeters into the barrel, so there wasn't enough room for the next round to chamber. If it had gone farther into the barrel, and the kid pulled the trigger on a live round behind it, the live round would fire and compress into the stuck round and detonate the gun in the kids hand. Sometimes these detonation are completely harmless, and sometimes they mangle your hands. Depends on your luck and the construction of that brand of pistol.

I was happy to help the two little nerds LARP though, I saw a young me in them. That was cool. I like teaching kids to shoot.

This should read "he must have forgotten to charge one case."

We killed it with the first shots and it was far too small to get any real meat out of. I think in total probably about a 20-25lb piglet. We did the ecosystem a favor.

How is his build illegal?

Looks like a fin to me

Cheers, this post cleared up a lot of my confusion. This type of experience is almost alien to me though, I would love to take part in something like this, especially regarding old surplus guns like the ones you mentioned. Having free access to enjoy history like that must be great. I'm very jealous.

'Can' doesn't mean 'Feasible' though. Not only does a rifle like that cost upwards of thousands of bong dollars. The legal hellhole of regulation, licensing and strict usage means that unless you are an upper class landowner with money to burn, it might as well be illegal anyway.
Plus the whole thing is just one huge cock-tease, I want to have fun dumping an AK at targets, not pretending I'm some biathlon fag with an Apple-tier rifle.

I literally got back from a month and a half in Kenya playing enemy for a reg infantry battlegroup. Spent half the time in legers playing cards, drinking pop and smoking questionable Kenyan cigarettes. 10/10 would unironically recommend.

OP here, these were all just pics of cool gun stuff I have saved. None of the guns are mine, although I would like to know what makes this an 'illegal' build? From my time lurking here I would imagine it has something to do with the combo of a short barrel and collapsible stock? Or is it something else?

I have considered doing this but doubt I would be accepted on Physical and Mental health grounds. Long term debilitating depression and anxiety and a half-fucked left Achilles tendon. Also, you have seen the state of our current recruitment campaign right? I don't want anything to do with those types of people, nevermind have to work with them. Had enough of that shit trying to go back to college as an adult.

You aren't supposed to modify them

Right, of course. My mistake. :^)

>Cheers
Checked m8, and you're welcome. I do feel very lucky to be able to enjoy this type of freedom in the 21st century, and I hope I can continue to enjoy this freedom for a long time. If you ever travel to the US, post a thread, I might see it. You are welcome to shoot some guns here on the ranch. Maybe you can tell me a story about the hurdles it takes to own a gun as a bong, or how difficult it would be to go to the shooting range and even rent a rifle for an hour.

Mate I went to the states for a long weekend and met some lads whom I convinced to take me to their range and shoot. Was fucking fantastic. If I did it you can do it.
And look up shooting clubs near you. Shooting here is shite compared to the yanks but you can absolutely shoot if you want.

> depression
I had depression for years mate. If anything the reserves will help, cus youll develop really strong friendships, gain a lot of self confidence and know how to deal with stuff better mentally. Worked for me.
> recruiting campaign
Dont judge a book by its cover. The army is, on the inside, one of the most right wing organisations we have left, even more so in the infantry. Nobody pays any attention to the PC bollocks, its just an embarrassment.

Obviously each to their own, but youd get a lot more out of life than sitting on here wishing you could actually shoot stuff. I was doing the exact same before i joined.

britbong here fired my first gun at the age of 10 at chatsworth fair, fast forward 12 years now a member of nottingham district gun club

It sounds good with the way you put it lad, I have absolutely zero direction in life and am a complete social recluse so to get out and experience the world with a bunch of bro's would be fantastic, but all's I've ever heard is horror stories about army life, and I'm honestly not to sure if I could hack it. Let's say I wanted to find out more on the reserves though, what would my best starting point be? Talk to a recruiter? What should I expect?

> all ive heard are horror stories
In the regs you have to do what your told and go where youre sent; in the reserve you have the option to do stuff but dont have to. Minimum commitment is 27 days a year across week nights, weekends and an annual camp but most blokes average 50+ days. Yes there are shit taskings occassionally and some of it can be shit, but its the sort of stuff where you look back on it as a good time.
> best way to find information
The army website will give you the billy basics of what the process is like, and from there recruiters can go more in depth. If youre interested, best thing to do is have a look at reserve units near you, see what they do and if that sounds like your cup of tea, call them up and go in for a chat.

By far the longest thing is the application process, i.e medicals and that sort of thing, but if youre on top of it and dont doss it can go fairly quick. Once youve passed assessment, if you have a load of free time you could go from zero to hero (i.e civvie to fully trained infanteer) in a few months if you banged out the courses.

I've always been interested in guns, even from an early age, and the 'Armourer' role looks like it would be well suited for me. Having a look at the assessment also doesn't seem too bad, the strength tests look piss easy although I doubt I could run 1.5mile in 14mins. I'm not a lardass by any means but that would kill me off.
I'm gonna have a more in depth look around on the reserves, but you have made me consider it. Thanks lad, could just be what I need to kick-start my shitty life.

Fair one lad, whatever suits you. Cav units use mounted weapons a lot more (obviously) so might be more fun to aim for armourer there, depending on what you have near you.

Also in regard to the run time, it just takes a bit of dedication and grit. Fitness is a good way to improve your mindset as well. If im feeling shit ill chuck my daysack on and go run some hills while listening to music, sorts me right out. Best of luck to you mate.

Here's something that happened a couple of months ago.
>be me
>shooting MG3s in the mountain range they filmed the Hoth scenes in Star Wars
>chewing into a 200rnd belt(MG3 eats ammo like crazy
>in the middle of a lengthy burst a great big cloud of smoke erupts from the chamber area and I can't fire anymore
>quickly check the chamber and change barrels to continiue firing
One round goes off and then nothing
>try again
>same shit happened
At this point I make the assumption something is wrong with the bolt
>the extractor has been blown off, that's what the cloud of smoke was
>check the used barrel, the chamber is lined with thick brass which caused the next round to go off before it chambered properly and blowing the extractor away
MG3 is nice

You shouldn't be depressed about not firing a gun.
Book passage to America and post an ad on Creigs list that you want some trigger time.
Its not that expensive for an hour or so of loud noises that rattle your lungs and make a mess of soda and tomato cans.
There are tours but any trailer park will offer some entertainment if you buy the beer ( Grog watered spirits).
So your looking at 800 for the round trip flight, 100 for the beer another 100 for the rounds some chips, snacks and some gas money for the trip.
Im sure you could spend more for the professional tour but if you want to risk a fight, get lit and laugh, smile and maybe some jail time any trailer park will welcome you for a modest fee.
Of course you could go the hood route, the food is good, the entertainment is top notch, music is as loud as the blasters. The risks are wounding, death and jail time. But you may get to play with full autos and high explosives.
The hood route is more expensive then the trailer route but the entertainment is normally worth the price of admission.
America is a fun place with money to burn.
Americans are xenophiles at heart. They do love outsiders as long as they are just visiting.
Have fun in America they are open, easy to laugh, smile and joke. The jokes are terrible, the food can be good or gas station tier.
Still come to America someone will find a way to get you some trigger time.
All you have to do is ask, with a smile.

This sounds fun, you Floridas aren't so bad.

I've been rejected from the military 3 times on account of depression. I wouldn't count on it.

> telling the military that youre anything but fit and healthy

Thats where you dun goofed. Thats when all your info gets sent into the great admin black hole, never to return.

I suppose. But I figured they'd have access to my medical records at some point, so wasn't any point in lying.

Suit yourself, I'll probably buy one and I'm American. It's $3000 here too. Not a biathlon rifle lol, a ground up newly designed modern bolt action that isn't just some old action stuck in a fancy chassis. Compact, lightweight, 45 degree throw, lots of nice features. Plenty useful when rahowa starts even if it isn't an AK. I would get something anyway, a gun is a gun and bongistan is pretty high on the list of places where shit will start to go really sideways first.

I fired one of these but it had built in optics while I was a guest during a German range day (I'm US enlisted, GER enlisted held a range and a few of us got to shoot their stuff).

Being able to swap between the Red Dot and Higher powered optic, side stacking magazines, ambidextrous charging handle, and near recoilless 5.56 felt really good. I really hope I get another chance to shoot it again.

the physics and ballistics behind shooting is so amazing, imo. Your harnessing an explosion in your hands and projecting it towards a target.

Lasers are next and I would imagine that feels like nothing. handling that explosion is an exhilarating feeling.

I had a fun one awhile back
>be into rifles, find pistols rather boring
>have a buddy who is basically the opposite, but hasn't had much experience with rifles anyway
We went shooting in the woods one day with some swedes that had come to visit. We brought out some interesting guns and tannerite
>have the bolt action I use for competition
>set up some tannerite, take the first few shots with my rifle to be sure my handloads are still on point
>Give the swedes a chance to feel like snipers. They nail a few targets with my hand loads, pistol buddy decides it's a bit too easy
>He sets up a shot he believes would be too difficult to make in one shot at a range of 110m
>Puts some tannerite in a pot with a hole in the middle (3" diameter or so), only way to set it off is thread that needle
>heh, nothing personal kid
At this point he was pretty surprised. I guess he didn't expect that level of accuracy was actually pretty easy to achieve with practice. So I decided to do one better
>start running out of targets, still have some rounds to shoot
>grab some shot shells and safe the range to head down
>pistol buddy looks at my hand and says "you aren't going to be able to hit those all the way down there..."
>He bets me a beer I won't be able to hit 1 without taking a few shots
>Tell him hell, I'll get with 4 shots
Nailed em. He bought me that beer and has taken an interest in improving his skills with rifles. Feels good man

good story user
Should have included the ammunition used when taking animals though.

You will never beat live firing attacks at company level. You've got your machine guns firing over your heads, and you are throwing live grenades into positions while your section gives suppressive fire, before you carry out the final assault. You will do this on positions over a a mile, or so, swapping between roles.

Civilian shooting is dull in comparison.

Find a way to come here, even just on a trip. You come to Utah and I’ll yake you shooting user

A barrel shorter than 16" on a rifle is considered illegal by the ATF, but if it's manufactured as a pistol (don't know what the fuck that implies) it's fine to have any length on it. Sadly, that makes the use of a stock illegal, so you just buy a brace.

If you cant be bothered to go abroad, you can pay to shoot at "The Tunnel" in Dorset near Exeter, got most of the stuff you'd want. Can be a little pricey but I paid to shoot the Barret M99 and the oldies.

Why won't you go to public range? They almost always rent guns.

So? Until this year, where we actually did become the glorified gate guards everyone said we were, the training is no different from any other army infantry unit.

4th corner of the SF triangle yeah mate

Never claimed to be.
You'll get belters that say shit like that in any unit. But I hear claims about the raf reg being some elit unit from the army than the raf reg itself

Rare, travel is a concern
Not truly public (memberships, etc)
Expensive

It won't happen if you keep putting barriers in the way. Can't you just apply for a shotgun license and get a gun for yourself

user you need to turn this into a 4 way.

it sucks that we can only have 12 B category weapons

It’s not, nogunz just wants an opportunity to shit talk someone

You dumbass you can build a legal SBR with the $200 stamp and paperwork approved by ATF and you can modify it however the fuck you want as long as you don’t go MG or illegally suppressed with it

Join the police and transfer to a firearms unit

Youll shoot so much you'll be sick of it by the second week
