Re: What guns have you shot?
Puru, were you in service? Tommy guns, RPDs, Carl Gustavs............ the .303 LMG would be a Bren or IOF copy with mag on top??
Baljit, good to hear from you again!!
My list:
Disclaimer
Holi water guns shaped like real ones (Skyman, you forgot those )
0.38 (I assume) revolver
.303 rifle, I assume IOF copy of SMLE
(above two almost 25 years back, one load - 6 & 5 - each)
My old SDB AR in 0.22 and current Precihole Orion in 0.22
Different ARs / APs of IFGians in different meets, including high-end PCPs, sidelevers, underlevers, breakbarrels, etc.
Various Chinese made "airsoft" pistols belonging to my nephews at various points of time.
No more firearms !!

My list:
Disclaimer
Diwali cap guns & piston bangers (you pull a handle at the back, insert a patakha in front, squeeze the trigger, a pointy piston hits the patakha and it goes bang, with lotsa smoke and flames emitted from the muzzle!)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..

Re: What guns have you shot?
What guns have I shot ? You don`t want to know......
Probably most calibres up to and including .600 NE ( and a .50 cal Barrett ) and shotguns up to a 4-Bore.
Only one machine gun however - an M2 ...... and that was a heck of a surprise as it was supposed to be an M1 !

Re: What guns have you shot?
Blimey .... that`s hundreds of rifles......and a lot more shotguns.
And most of them weren`t `joys` but just business.
It`d be easier to draw up a list of which calibres and rifles I haven`t shot.
I`ve never shot a Blaser .... and I`ve never shot a .700 NE.
The nastiest thing I`ve ever shot was a Weatherby .460 Mag.
I`ve never shot an AK47 but have shot several AR15 variants - we`re allowed them here providing they`re built from scratch without the gas mechanism ( conversions are not allowed ) so that they are, effectively, straight pull bolt actions.
I`ve only shot the .300, .338 and .460 Weatherby Mags - none of the rest ...... although I might have shot a .378 Weatherby Mag - can`t remember.
I haven`t shot or handled any rifles/guns built by Hartman & Weiss.
I haven`t shot a Remington 7400 semi-auto rifle or a 7600 pump action rifle.
I haven`t shot any of the English `rook and rabbit` calibres.
I haven`t shot any of the loony, very high power wildcats like the .577 Tyrannosaur.
And I`m pretty sure I haven`t shot any of the Super Short Mags.
