Could I politely request that members who have yet to fire a round in anger from whatever weapon they enjoy please refrain from entering a pissing contest to those that have, its only going to get personal and spiral into a slagging contest
By which measure I once fired a 81mm mortar in anger and missed the coont by miles.
Soon sent back to my slit trench to count my brufen stocks.

very sorry to hear that mate, and sorry about the Mum joke too. Obviously I wasn't to know.
It must have been your sister!!
By the way, we had an Aussie attached to us in Afghan who put a 51 mil bomb downrange in a contact. There was no bang, and he thought he'd fired a dud until I asked him if he'd taken the safety pin out........nob!

Might as well include anyone who hasn't fired 'all of the above mentioned' weapons.

We went into Suez with the old 303 Enfields and came up against the AK 47, and that was not a lot of fun. Fortunately the Egyptians had been throwing crates of the AK 47s of lorries hoping that the local population would pick them up and fight the infidels, well they seem to have had better sense and they left them there for us.
