Fired off my own weapon a few times. It never fails but i did have an ND once but a quick apology and everything was cleared up.

My individual weapon is the best.
It has a long barrel, is big bored, has an integral helmet, retracts when not in use, is multi-purpose, is self lubricating and fits quite snugly into the palm of my hand.
It differs from other weapons as mine can not only injure/kill people but can also create life.
Beat that. I will later.........

This completely harmless gun shoots potato pellets. You can get more than 300 shots from a single potato! It's sturdy construction never wears out. Just press the nozzle into a potato, and the gun is loaded, range 20 feet.

[quote="goreD."]Here's the list.
L2A3 S.M.G. STERLING 9mm. Great gun but dangerous.
Is this not the idea?

Well yes. It's meant to be dangerous to the enemy. Unfortunatley the SMG is dangerous to the carrier and his colleagues.

Probably PW.
Beleave it or not i've fired a MP5. A friend of my fathers is in the armed response unit in Nottingham and they had an open day about 5 years ago. And I fired a hand gun, which I don't actually know what it was and an MP5. Without any comparisons for me to judge it I can't really comment on it, except to say it gave me a hard on.

SA80 (Mk 1 & 2)
GPMG (Pain in a belt and too heavy on hills!)
SLR
SMG
Pussers 9mm Pistol
Shotguns (Most)
Civvy rifles (Loads)
Magnum 45 (LOUD!)
Various civvy pistols (I was too young to know what they were... just liked shooting them!)
Black Widow Catapult with ball bearings (Oh sir!)
Crossbow
Longbow
Compound Bow
Most recent weapon is the elastic band gun, very effective against registry staff and bounces off walls!

Gore, I am... hence my short list of weapons!
Saqying that, there have been a lot of guys from the band who have shot for the Corps at Bisley. One lad was a gamekeepers son... he thrashed the training team on a clay shoot they arranged and took 'their' kitty that we all chipped in to. That was a hard run back from the ranges and they took a longer route, well, they would do, we had won 'their' beer money from them and they weren't going out that night!!

You'll like this one Sticky !!
I blew the end off my SLR once. Didn't realise I had fouled it with sand. My boss had never seen a three prong flash eliminator blow before !! (The old five prong ones used to blow all the time)
I had to go to my wagon and fix it. Red face or what.........
