Day 41 - Gun range...Bigger Guns..and a pea shooter

Today we went down to the gun range again. I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning. lol. This time we went to shoot way bigger guns and a pea shooter. lol. We started the day of with a .19mm beretta which shoots a .35 calibre round. The same thing we shot the last time we came. It's all good, we wanted to warm up. Then a small cool looking gun caught my eye...


it's the ruger mkIII, it shoots a rifle .22 calibre round. It's a peashooter, with very low recoil, and there is little to no sound when shot. It's almost as if it's a silenced gun. Note that it is also the same gun that snake used in metal gear solid. a box of 25 is quite cheap too, at 5$ for 100 rounds

anyways moving on, we upgraded to something bigger, the benelli (mk2?)12 gauge shotgun. which packs a whallop in recoil.


then we upgraded to a rifle, the AR-22,



which shoots the same round the ruger shot, a small arms .22 calibre rifle round, only difference is, that the rifle can shoot about 120 of them with one cartridge. However this specific rifle keeps on giving us jams, as it's probably not oiled or maintained. Hightech rifles should usually be cleaned and maintained often. Except of course for the AK-47, which sadly the range didn't have. The range only holds American made guns.

after all is done and the rest of the group left, i came back in and shot another 25 rounds of shotgun, and practically tore a hole through the targets. I could hear the instructor next to me tell his student, "that is why no one wants to get shot by a shotgun". if you think about it, if you get shot by a rifle, there is a chance you might or might not live. but with a shotgun, you're quite certain to be a goner.

anyways, we then took the cab back home after the day is said and done, and then we ended the day with a movie called shaun of the dead, an R movie which i didn't know about!.....anyways we watched it, it was a really good british 2004 movie, then went to bed.
