I don't cuz if poo poo ever really went down is be dead in the first wave regardless of weapon having, and recreationally speaking I'm a huge dork so I like to shoot bows. That's my reasons.

Whatever cuz. I shoot bows and guns because it's good to be resourceful. I own pistols, rifles, shotguns, and my bow.

You can get this over with really quickly if you have a gun.

Not sure if bows would work as well.

The uglier the part, the more expensive.

Also I love people who get MAGPUL foregrips and stocks (and hats, and shirts and bumper stickers and special edition monopoly sets, and shot glasses and personal massagers), but then go with the super-cheapo magazine pulls

Magpul is a company that makes good, functional AR-15 accessories for pretty cheap. :shrug:

Yeah but gun nerds are as insufferable and elitist as any other group of nerds, they just happen to sperg out while holding a weapon capable of making you die instead of rage quitting because you ulted to KS.

Do you own a gun? If so, why? What kind of gun do you own? How much did it cost? How many guns do you own? What do you shoot with it? Conversely, if you don't own a gun why not?





Also, let's do our best to not turn this into a gun legality debate. Nothing good will come of it and you know it.

Ive got 3 guns but they are all Curio and Relic status, I used to go tothe gun range with my dad a lot because it was a fun way to spend a saturday afternoon bonding but then I moved down to LA and they moved up to Redding so its like a 10+ hour drive to see them so now the rifles just sit in my closet. Speaking of I should probably oil them down soon, want to keep them in good condition

going to indoor firing ranges is ok.. until you become aware youre in a tiny enclosed space with a bunch of strangers with guns. and you do have dickheads that bring in the loudest poo poo to an indoor range like a steyr aug for example that would do it...

The AUG isn't any louder than a usual AR from what I can tell. A muzzle-braked anything will be way worse.

This is true, but it can get so much worse. Last time I was at an indoor pistol range (second Wednesday of last month), some idiot kept shooting the steel target hangers with his gently caress off huge revolver at close range. Ricochet hit a light fixture next to another target stand, shrapnel hit shooter there in the forehead. About 10 seconds later, I get hit in the back by a fully expanded copper jacket. Felt like a punch right between my shoulders, thought I got shot, but it didn't penetrate. Scratched and bruised, ruined my nice white polo :(

No, a dank old basement with poor ventilation and like one light bulb, rusty old cable pulleys set up to move targets, each held together by a single screw. Staff rarely pays attention, I think the guy slunk out after I got hit. Actually, everyone but I left immediately after those two incidents (I had just arrived), so I had the place to myself for a while, and no more pieces of bullet came flying uprange for the rest of my time there.
I used to like the place because it's super cheap (:tenbux: per lane-hour) and the shop reminds me of the gun shops in gta5, but I'm prob not going back again.

My dad has an "I am the NRA" sticker on his truck and flies the flag upside down. He gave me a pile of guns as a kid, and I told them to just sell them when I decided that every person in Wisconsin who owns guns is a loving loony tune who just want to murder people and eat them and make lamps out of their fuckin' faces and poo poo.

there was this idiot who would show up at the range some afternoons with his deagle which i assume must hve been the 50 cal because of how loving loud it was, like thing seemed 5x louder than anything else anyone was shooting and it would set off all the car alarms every tiem he shot it, gently caress that guy I hated him

if you havent ever gone shooting, go buy yourself an old Mosin-Nagant for like $80 at Big 5 and a crate of a million rounds for like another $100 and then go to the range with your old man, its a ton of fun and youll enjoy the time you spent together
