XM-8

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

The only experience I have with handguns is my 9mm that the army issued me and the .38 Special that I own. I have not even fired the .38 since I was a teenager and me and my dad would go to the indoor range on the military post were he was stationed. I really need to get back into it.

Nothin like it. I too have been unfortunate to have other priorities. Much fun. I have taken both my boys (5 and 10) out to kill some pop cans. They can entertain themselves for hours with less than a few bucks in .22s.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah we used to do the same thing on our property. We would shoot coke and beer cans with .22's. Loads of fun when you are younger.

I discovered yesterday that you can buy some cheap plates in the local supermarket for just 72p...£10 worth of them will keep me happy for about 10 mins

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Huh, with your BB gun?

 

[cheddar cheese]

Air Rifle....

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Ah

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes but it's a .177 so he'll only need one plane, the pellets'll just rebound off........

 

[cheddar cheese]

Ive shot straight through a traffic cone with my .177 before...plates are no problem

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Get a 30-06!

Wanna see some fun???? Fill up old milk gallon jugs with water and shoot em from 15 yards with a 12 gauge shotgun....

My father used this very demonstration when I was but a wee lad to show me the full destructive force of a shotgun....

Changed my life forever, that little lesson did....

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I have actually seen that done also. Quite amazing,the power.

 

[cheddar cheese]

One I filled a tin can with car polish and shot it, hoping to get a blood splarter effect. It didnt work

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

You will need more then an airgun to get that effect.

 

[plan_D]

Shoot eggs with air rifles to splatter them.

 

[cheddar cheese]

You, my friend, are a genius.

I think ill have to go on a shopping spree to Tesco, to buy some targets Shaking up a bottle of Cola and shooting the cap off makes a great explosion

 

[Matt308]

I tried shooting a 1lb propane bottle with a 9mm while hiding behind a VERY wide tree. No effect. Sure was disappointing.

Just mix Francium and Flourine- you'll wipe out your house!
