What guns have you shot?

Post by Skyman » Sat May 04, 2013 10:26 am

What guns have you shot over time? List them, along with your thoughts regarding them.

Me -

One .22 AR ( Friends )

Diwali reel pistol. ROTFL

I am sure many of you have been more fortunate.
I would rather hit my target gently than miss hard.

skyman diwali reel pistol was my heart throb :mrgreen: and after wards due to my service back ground i hav fired

1.7.62 slr quite accurate,kicks like a mule heavy on maintence
2.AK 47 good cqb weapon ,low on maint
3.9mm carbine till 50mtrs quite accurate,very ureliable and unsafe weapon u cannot have a round in the chamber as ready
4.INSAS 5.56 quite accurate till 400 mtrs..but the problem of stoppages plague the weapon
5.7.62 LMG & MMG an awesome weapon very lethal but high maint & stoppages
6..32 rev & pistol IOF good & reliable for a poor man like me :mrgreen:
7.and last but not the least an assortment of 12bore,.315,30-06,.22 all indian make and they have been fairly nice experience
8.ohhh sorry i forgot through an sf friend their latest tavor and uzi both are awesome but uzi requires a lot of practice atleast for me and aug-styr sniper and svd sniper both are awesome in their own rights
i hope this will be all till new procurement by the govt.. :cheers:

Do you refer to the 9mm sterling sub or the sten gun?

Any reason why stoppages occur in Indian weapons according to you?

Fired Uzi on full auto...lucky fellow. :cheers:

I've fired my air rifle, one IOF .22, one .30* Springfield and have held and was going to shoot a H&H 500 NE, but was stopped because the recoil might be too great.

eh forgot em all , but most enjoyable was the 105mm , please try not to fire from the shoulder as you may not have one left.

I have fired indian made ( Calcutta made ).22 Air rifles. None of them belonged to me .

My Uncle's 12 gauge SxS DBBL with 28 or 30 inch barrel . Four rounds .

A .32 ACP Walther PPK , which kept jamming after every two rounds . Fired a total of six rounds with it . It belonged to a contractor who worked under my Dad .


@ gladiatorgarg

When You say stoppages , do you mean jamming ? What would you say the reasons for it ?
And was it a UZI SMG ?

It's okay , if you disagree with me .

Not much compared to Gun Gurus out here:(

An assortment of 12 gauge SxS DBBL
Webley Scott.Mark IV Revolver
BSA and Winchester .22lr Rifles
IOF 30-06 Rifle
Many many .22 & .177 Air Rifles (Both Indian & Imported)

In India because of the stupid gun laws, unless & until you are in army/law enforcement any kid from US with little interest in firearms would have shot more types of rifles/handguns then you can dream of in your entire life time.. :oops:

I have shot weapons all owned by me over the time.
1. Star Spain SBBL 12 bore- one hell of a kicker- was too light.
2. Beretta 12 Ga side by side Pigeon 26 inch- a sweet bird gun.
3. .22 BRNO Mod 2-- about 5000 rds- old reliable.
4. 30-06 Remington Mod 700 ADL- perhaps the most accurate Rifle- with confirmed shot at 800 paces.
5. .308 Mauser with a Zeiss Diavari 2.5-10 x-- great rifle but ran out of ammo.
6. .22 S& W Mod 17-- perhaps the best .22 arm.Sold by me
7. .22 S & W Stainless steel .22-- not shot much now with me.
8. My sweet beauty Beretta 12 Ga- O/U S56E-- kept new for my son.
