i use those guns pecause i do shooting as sports and i love the way animal meat tastes. and In finland when my dad were very young(about 7) he had to get hes own meal pecause he lived in very very small ''town''(if you can even say it as town) in somewhere forest. so hunting is came along for me pecause my dad wants to me to do it and i like shooting and hunting. And if you are a hunter, you might now that some animals must be killed so they wont get overloaded at our country or other world.

EDIT: Now were going to buy new rifle for sports in few days called SAKO TRG-22. the guns looks like this http://www.imt.net/~mele/images/trg22a.jpg

Nature will balance itself out perfectly if you let it. Of course it won't always balance in your favour so you always need to give it a "helping hand"...

Since forever humans have hunted animals. Us being predators is part of nature.
There's also the pest-control aspect.

The noise of your minigun spinning up could well be enough to guarantee you never hit anything with it

yep, just that seems like a six powdery hands have been gave

I own 2 rifles. Im not interested in shooting people with though, but we sometimes have to use them when the foxe's come on our land, as they either try and come in our house, or go for our neighbours pigs .

Quote from Dygear :

That just might be a little over kill.

The police force over here shoots to kill.

I would shoot to wound, so you can't run away after you break into my house. However, if I did happen to nick an artery, it would be quite alright as I happen to work on an ambulance. Basically, if your gonna get shot by some one, hope it is me.

LOL Shoot to Wound? ROFL... That only works in Hollywood.
Speaking of hollyweird... do you know that one spot the on the shoulder that the good guy always gets shot at and is able to keep on going like nothing's wrong? Well if you were to actually get shot there, you'd probably die in about two minutes.
There is no Shoot to wound. well unless you mean to torture the guy... When I was 17, I was accidentally shot in the leg. LOL I was only "wounded". I lost something like 20% of my blood, went into shock (was feeling kind of buzzed til they cleaned the wound OUCH!) hospitalized for two or three days and had to walk with a cane for 6 weeks. and it was called a superficial wound. A friend of my son's father was jumped about three years ago. he was shot three times. Once in the chest, once in the stomach and once in the leg. No he didn't die. But the most serious wound was from the leg wound. It broke his thigh bone and barely missed some big blood vein. He limps to this day. He was shot with either a .380 or a 9mm.
I don't remember.

besides if you gotta shoot someone, going for a "non life threatening" spot means you're probably going to miss and give the guy a chance to get YOU.
I have quite a few firearms. My favorite is a 1921 broom handle, but my defense gun is a hand cannon. If shot someone in the arm with it, it would amputate the arm.

I have one Desert eagle.

Dad has a beretta

My mom has a Shotgun

sister a RPG

And we have our own Tank in the front door.....

Don't mess with our family

I dont own a gun as i´m a bit underage, but i´ll have some gun later.

nope, illegal here afaik and afa I'm concerned.

Pretty sure I have a .22 rifle somewhere for shooting at beer cans.

Probably rusted to hell, though.

lke Jeremy Clarkson, I use a shotgun for gardening!

Quote from tristancliffe :

I used to be the highest qualified marksman at my high school (we have a rifle range), so one day I'd love to get back into it, but I think it's going to be harder in the future with laws and what have you.

You own a rifle range

Just exactly how much of Norfolk do you own ? Is your family part of the landed gentry or something ? Should we be calling you Sir, or Lord, or maybe both ? Sir Lord Tristan of the Turnip...

Anyway, on topic: I quite like guns to be honest, don't own one, but i'd really like to go to one of these American 'gun theme park type places' yunno those ranges where you can tryout anything from a cap gun to huge whacking machine guns and bazookas and all. I'm still a little kid at heart, and if i could, i guess i'd still be playing cowboys'N'injuns. Sometimes being an adult in the UK is no fun at all...

Bah, I meant the school had a rifle range...

Somehow paintballing seems a little tame once you fired real rounds

I don't have a gun, but I think my dad has, because he was in last war

Foxes hunting pigs.. wait a second. The pigs are those mini ones, right?

well, my neighbours cat slept in my bigbrothers motocross helmet(about 600-700e) and it had some ''yellow and brown stuff'' in it. that cat somehow got into our garage and that is never good thing. my brother werent so happy about that...so then the neighbour wasnt too when he heard about it. only thing he said were ''mitään en maksa mutta ampua saat jos tontilles paskoo'' someone could maybe translate that to english

Quote from tristancliffe :

Ahh, well that makes sense, a school with it's own private rifle range, very sensible !

Dunno ?, I've been here for a few years now, so maybe you've seen a couple of my other posts ?

Ermm.. it's just a pic from Google, not sure of the source. But it's a Maserati 3500GT.. don't tell me you may have had this very car through your showroom

Ma'am must protect ones corgi's

I don't own a gun, nobody in this house does and nobody I know. Except my brother in law, he's a cop, so it's normal he has one. I believe it's a glock.

Yes, a school with a rifle range (and very strict usage policies) but live ammo and various types of weapon from SA-80 to sniper rifles I can't remember the numbers of. It means that we respect guns a bit more, know how to use them, and learn how to use them in controlled environments. I think that's vastly safer than letting people get their experience (if they want any) 'underground'.

I doubt it's that very one, but we did have one here once. Very pretty. Makes a change from Healeys

Looks much like the M61 Vulcan mounted on pretty much any american fighter since the fifties...6000 rounds in a minute, if I'm not wrong.

I suspose i should have been a little more in depth

I did'nt mean go for them as in "attack", i meant that they go around by where our neighbours cattle, pigs and things like that are kept and they bother them and get the cattle agrrovated. So he just tells me to keep an eye out every now and then while he pops out as im outside most the time working on cars. Lately, we have'nt had many foxes, maybe about 5 in the last month, but 06' was terrible. There was almost one every day

I don't and I'll probably never will But i would like to have this one ;P
