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
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..
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!)
Holi water guns shaped like real ones (Skyman, you forgot those :wink: )
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 :cry: !!
Cheers!

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 !

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.

Plus threatening to eat their dogs with bhut jolokia pepper seasoning.....to begin with.It would have obviously culminated in their dried heads hanging from the porch of Nagas house. :mrgreen:

Good for them that they ran away.
