Went out and played in the woods with guns
So this one time, I had never fired a gun . . . . so my first shot ever was on a .50 calibre bolt-action rifle. :chuckles:
I'd also like to make it painfully clear that the optimal game weight(weight of an animal that any particular gun can take down reliably with one shot) of the .50 caliber is around 22,000+ pounds, so enough to easily kill an elephant, and possibly kill a small whale.
I fired 6 rifles in two days! :thumbup:
And my friend Craig did the honors in testing the Nalgene lifetime warranty:
Here are the rest of the pictures, in no particular order:
.50 cal projectile, alongside .308 full casing and projectile, and a regular .22 rifle round.

oooh fun Laurel, gotta love the stance when you're holding the hunting rifle and shotgun
The other day few guys and I went out and put a few rounds through an AK47, AR15, and SKS. We had a guy who had never shot before in his life so I let him crank a few rounds in my semi .22 before he tried out the AK, he had fun to say the least.

I could have swore some of those weapons there are illegal to possess without a special license....

man, the shotgun kept pushing me back a couple steps every time I shot it, so I tried to counteract that. Then wit the .22, it seemed almost natural. After the first clip in the 22, I was hitting the target 9/10 times

... And one that can fire a round through their car lengthwise!
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.
and I could have sworn that they are legal, except for the .50, not entirely sure on that oneManarius wrote:I could have swore some of those weapons there are illegal to possess without a special license....
just so you know since you're a fellow PA resident, you can own just about anything here as long as it's not auto, sawn off, or qualifies as artillery, oh and pistols if you're under 21 especially with our wonderful ban on assualt weapons lifted... are they necessary? nah, but are they fun? hells yes

There is more involved to obtaining a full auto weapons permit than just paying money. You go through an extensive (I mean extensive!!) background check, and are required to take a course in the use of the weapon iirc. If you have any type of violation or conviction on your record you will be denied the permit.

I was mostly concerned about the .50...since guns that use those are not considered "Anti-Personnel" weapons.
My neighbor has *a lot of guns. I think he even has an auto or two *snicker*. I always thought though that having guns like that M-16 up there was illegal...then again with the assault weapons ban lifted...

Nice pics!!
I'm envious.....it brought back memories when some friends and I took a drive up the mountain loop highway past granite falls to detonate some "homemade" explosive devices.
