Have you ever fired a gun?
What kind(s)? Any favorites? Do you own weapons - do you carry?

Don’t own any yet. But I’ve fired a few. Ak-47, Mac-11, glocks and 9s.
I can tell you’ve got murder on your mind…
Haven’t seen in her in like 2 weeks. Tomorrow is Monday, so hopefully she’ll be there... I really should’ve just done it the first day but instead I came home and made WSO post on it. smh.
Beautiful segue
Any particular reason you’re asking? Glock 17 and AR-15 are go to’s. Carry sometimes. Trap and skeet is a good time, I don’t consider that “real shooting”
I was just wondering. I never fired a weapon until the military.
I largely grew up in the south where many people went hunting, but I never went.
I own a Beretta 501
Don't own one, don't care to own one but man recreational shooting is fun af.
Bit out there but I'd love to fire a Stinger or pull the trigger on something like a Howitzer.
Nice try, ATF. Lost them all the last time I went boating out on the lake.
Since my file got reset, I haven’t unlocked the P-90, so I’m stuck noob tubing the grenade launcher
My P90 is gold. 🙏
Own several. Favorite gun to shoot recently has been my CZ 527 bolt action, which has a unique single set trigger system that is fun to use. Carry is close to impossible where I live, otherwise I probably would.
What is the weight of pull on the CZ's set trigger? Is it a nice, crisp break? I have a hunting rifle from one of the classic Euro makers and the set trigger is like sub-1 lb. of pull weight. It's downright scary how light of a pull it is when you set it.
The single set trigger is adjustable and from my understanding you can get it from a few ounces up to about 2lbs. I have not adjusted mine from factory, but just the slightest pull back and it breaks like glass.
Very enjoyable rifle to shoot. The ergonomics, size profile, and clean iron sights just make it a great overall package. The 'mini Mauser' bolt is also a nice feature.
I shoot clays with a 12GA over and under, but that's about it
Conceal carry if I could: SIG P365
My favorite to look at: SIG P210 Supertarget
Most fun to shoot: Chiappa Rhino 60D
Craziest/most ridiculous: Magnum Research .50 Cal Desert Eagle
Have shot many more weapons, but these are some handguns I really enjoy/enjoyed.
Fired a ton of different ones, each gun is like another woman in it feel, fit, and finish. You can never have enough. The AR platform is honestly my favorite just because of the versatility, particularly AR10s like the LMT DMR in 308. Love to take them out to the 700+ yards. Haven't tried anything past 1000 yard yet and waiting to get some dedicated long range gear before I make the trek to a range that can offer it. In terms of softest shooters I've tried HK/B&T 9mm PCCs. Quietest would be either 300 BO subs through a Sig Rattler or 7.62x39 subs through a gen 2 Galili w/ KNS piston, suppress either one and the sound of the action is the loudest part of the gun (you won't need ear protection). Favorite carry gun is a CZ 75D, love decocker giving the double action feel and extra weight vs the lighter G43s of the world.
Have and shoot a little bit of everything. Carry every day, mostly pistols chambered in 9mm or .380. Shoot lots of rifles and 12-bore shotguns for both fun and sport/hunting. Spend a lot of time with the common calibers (.223/5.56x45, .270, .308/7.62 NATO, .30-06, .300 Win Mag) because the ammo is relatively cheap, though I do enjoy shooting some of the large bore stuff: .375 H&H, .416 Rigby, .458 Win Mag. Dream is to one day buy a dangerous game "stopping" double rifle in one of the Nitro Express rounds (.500NE, .577NE, .600NE), though I won't have a ton of practical use for it unless I moved to Zimbabwe and became a professional hunter, haha. Still, there's nothing quite like an afternoon firing off some big bore bone-rattlers.
Also: This topic glows in the dark.
Out of curiosity, why do you carry every day, and where do you live?
This post really glows in the dark.
I live in rural America in a constitutional carry state. Concealed carrying is very common around where I live, so it's not seen as a big deal. I probably carry for the same reason most everyone else does: in case it's ever needed to defend my life or the lives of my family. The hope is that it's never needed and I'm never in a situation where it needs to be drawn. It's carried for the small chance that I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I've used a rifle a few times though never a handgun. I really want to try it though.
Yeah, my father owns a large piece of land and a few guns. We used to grill and ride ATV’s and shoot targets. I didn’t find the shooting to be very fun though.
I never wanted one but curious to learn more about them.
I’ve been shooting since I was little. Competed in biathlon races for a while, so got pretty good at the small .22 rifles. Went hunting a bunch with grandparents, finished off a bear once with a .44 colt, that was fun. Set the record at my summer camp with a 149/150 skeet shooting, still pretty proud of that even a decade+ later. Got an NRA pistol proficiency or whatever at 16.
Then I enlisted in the army. So it’s been pretty much M4 platform since then. Though I did get qual’ed in pistol a few weeks ago for a competition.
Fuck off federal pig.
Not from the US, but most of the ones I've tried or used have been through military service and shooting clubs.
HK MP5
HK MP7
HK G3
HK 416
HK 417
HK MG3
FN Minimi
Barrett M82
Other than those, a bunch of pistols and bolt-on rifles.
HK 416/417 are great. Did you serve in the army/marines in Europe? I remember we used a modded version of the HK416.
I have owned and shot several. I have a hunting license but have never really done much with it. I have also had a CCW in the past and would carry daily.
Each year it gets harder & harder to find land to go shooting on (Thanks Obama!) so that's a downer. As it is, I mostly just have things around the house for home protection. From memory - Glock .40 cal (Glock 23?), Glock 9mm single stack (Glock 43?), a Beretta M9 (not a 92FS, but the actual M9 they released to the public) and a bunch of AR parts that I need to assemble (that's always a ton of fun, I really should do that more). Recently sold my Mossberg 30-06 because that was just a little "too much" for my interests. I'm sure I also have some 22s lying around somewhere, I only use those when I go rabbit hunting (invasive species out here).
One of my best memories in life is when my best friend and I took a bunch of guns out to BLM land where you can shoot. We brought shade, seating, a cooler full of food and drinks and we just spent the whole day shooting out there. We shot all kinds of targets and took videos of each other like we were some masters shooters or something! My friend has a terminal disease so it was just amazing to get out there with him and spend a day together doing some fun gun stuff.
Have fired 4-5 types of handguns, 6 or more types of rifles and several shotguns. Own a 20 gauge and a .38, do not carry.
Have found that most people (most, not all) that carry have small penises. I share that in case anyone has a betting opportunity.
You must be one hell of a pecker checker/meat gazer to have scouted enough wieners for the data to be statistically significant. Did you measure with a ruler, or your mouth?

Favorites have been Diamondback .308 AR-10, Kel-tec KS7 (shoulder killer) and Riley AK-47. Can't go wrong with an AR though.
I personally shot a lot from AKs to copper bronze and target markers. But the most fun for me wasn't the one with the biggest or loudest noise. I love the MP5 and MP7 they were easy to handle and very accurate compared to handling other guns. I can't and don't have a daily carry since it's against the law of where I am. But if I was cowboy I'd shoulder strap a silenced MP5. I also hunt too so that makes a Benelli.
Purdey side by side.
I like to go shooting at a place in Mt. Vernon in NY, but obviously can’t really own a gun in New York lol
You can’t own a gun in NY?
I mean you can but the amount of hurdles you have to go through is quite ridiculous+ammo capacities, muzzle & stock restrictions, etc make it not worth it imo. would rather just drive to PA to shoot shit in peace
Daniel Defense DDV7 Pro is the smoothest gun I've shot
nice try, ATF
I own a Browning b525 and a Remington 783 .308, used for hunting.
Only a paintball one, guess where I'm from?
I have a Glock at home, but I never carry it with me, I think that it is dangerous not only for me but also for others.
P.S I have permission to wear this Glock.
Why do you need a weapon? The fewer weapons in the world, the calmer and safety in society.
I love the Beretta, this is my favorite pistol.
