yeh lol he went down too, and a feeling of greatness and power come over me when i pulled the trigger and he screamed & he hit the deck, the pellet went about 1cm into his skin lol had to get it out with tweezers! dozy bastard only worse a t shirt while i had 3 jumpers on and a jacket but when i got shot in the shoulder it went through 2 jumpers but not the 3rd 8) thats body armor for ya 0X lol

reason i shot him in the back was because i was going to aim for his legs and he was running away from me so i thought naa if i miss he will get away and ill take about 10 seconds gettin another pellet and reloading so i aimed up and boom. :lol:

i dont know alot about guns but we had all bought air rifles a few weeks before we did this, i remember reading somewhere that it fired the pellet at 1100fps (feet per second), plus i used pointed tipped pellets, and the calibre was .22 :fadein:

this was about 7 months ago and i sold my rifle about 5 months ago :)

Spoke to my parents this weekend (hmm Sunday roast)
My father is a fire officer and my mother is a phyisio (burns and plastics)
They both said that people dealing with death and dieing quickly develop a very dark sense of humour as a coping mechanism. (Stranger still, so do people who are dieing). A detachment develops after a few deaths so it must be a natural survival mechanism for people. But on the other hand seeing friends die is a different matter, could I cope with that? Can't say until (god forbids) the worst happens!

I can second that. I have dealt with two sudden deaths this week and it all becomes very matter of fact and impersonable. The so called 'dark' sense of humour helps no end and l have numerous stories of that nature, many l wouldn't repeat. I strongly believe that repetition dulls the senses and it always a shock when one particular incident upsets you.

Just to finish the point l have had the miss fortune to attend a fatal accident of a colleague at work and two serious injury accidents of colleagues of the same nature. Had they been members of the public it would have been just another accident...but to see your mates hurt l found incredably hard. I must admit to feeling physically sick and almost in a state of panic. It was a feeling l will try and avoid for years to come.
These incidents were all accidents and as such to see a colleague/soldier shot and killed would be horrific. Thats perhaps why death should not be talked of with such abandon.
I think a toast is in order to the end of W&B.

Thing is when you go to kill someone you dont think "hey they might be someones husband or someones son" think of that then wat
use would you be? especially if your hesitating over every shot? :snipersmile:

Think he signed up so that he could kill YOU and your friends and if the tables were turned a doubt he wud think twice.

If a man has nothing he is willing to die for then he isn't fit to live.
