Naughty you, if it is.

Of course it is, you don't think the navy would allow me to have bullets as well do you?

... and my son told me I would lose a finger if I held the Styr like that.

The only gun I ever owned was a .22 magnum rifle, good for dispatching rabbits and feral cats but that was all. When Howard brought in the new gun laws I sold it.

Re: Shooting....?

I have fired a couple of `real guns` A .22 rifle,and a .38 revolver-both with blanks and that was it. My only gun is a pretty powerful air pistol and I used to use it for target practice. I do take it out now and again to show pigeons-they just laugh mocking me `you would never shoot at us and even if you did your eyesight is so crap you would miss`

It always amuses me the mistakes in films with guns.

Like the second Die Hard, where Willis tells the airport police that one of the terrorists had a Glock 7 ceramic pistol that won't show up on airport x-rays. It was a Glock 17 which is polymer frame (not ceramic) and most certainly will show up on x-rays.

Also the number of times you'll see something like an M16 which appears to be able to fire about a 100 rounds between mag changes. The mags hold 30 rounds and in full auto can empty the mag in 3 seconds....

Re: Shooting....?

Living here near the rifle ranges I just wish they made quieter guns it scares the dogs when they are shooting and that causes all the neighbourhood dogs to make a racket. Gets the dog owners in trouble

I always find it amusing, when watching American war films, and I see the 'goodies' shooting their 'tommy guns' which, in addition to never running out of ammunition, magically seem to always hit their targets without fail. At the same time, the Germans/Japanese have such poor weapons and skills that they never seem to hit anyone.
