Quite fancy one, how hard is it to get a licence these days? Thinking of a shotgun.

Held a Class 1 licence a few years back had a ruger 10/22 with a simmons 6-18x50 scope with range finder excellent bit of kit

 

was competing for the army 100's a few years ago

fired quite a few weapons while in the army

Psg 1, g3 sniper, G 3, lee enfield 303, m16, m203 , mp5 , mp5k, hk53, gympie, minimi, browning, glock 17,.38 special etc etc

 

the good old days :D

 

Pic is me with a G3with 40mil grenade launcher an a glock 17 :bow:

always fancied having a go of a sniper rifle (or a long range shooting rifle if ya prefer)

The main thing is, if you get a handgun, hold it sideways when you shoot it.

 

And use a sort of punching motion to exagerate each shot.

PMSL, best thing is when the gun ejects the spent catridge it will fire the catridge sideways, so when you see them in films holding a gun in each hand it can actually fire a red hot catridge to the opposite hands and burn like fook lol

Yes me

 

I have 4 shotguns

a 243 rifle and a .22 semi auto

 

What do you want to shoot? that can depend on how easy it is to obtain your licence.

nothing showing bud but I'm guessing at the barret light fifty :bow: :bow: :bow:

ha ha good guess!

once shot a weird pistol called a "thompson center contender" that was chambered for a cut down .50 cal round...

 

absolutely mental!! single shot break barrel pistol designed for long range shooting...

looked like this but the guy had actually designed and machined the breech and barrel himself....

 

 

 

absolutely insane..

I saw a programme on TV about the barett........ awesome rifle..... has a lot of power, truly can go through 1/2" plate at over 1000m away :eek:

 

Barrel recoils as well to aid shooting. Well engineered piece of equipment.

Yup if you just want to shoot clays you just need a shotgun licence and thats easy to get, most other stuff will require a full firearms licence which are harder to come by these days :rant:

 

Best first step is to find a club you like and join it, then buy yourself a good gun cabnet then apply for your licence.

I have a sawed off 20 gauge with a pistol grip, a .45, a .33, and an M16A2

yeh but you live in gun country..lol

 

we live in police state!!! pmsl

 

i want a cutdown 12 gauge but soooooooooooooooooo illegal here.. :D

sorry back on subject I couldnt decide which to go for so just went for the class 1 as you can apply to have shotguns on there as well. although I was never allowed that 7 shot pump action I was after? only let me have a 3 so never bothered an just stuck to the 10/22

took about 6 month for it to be issued prob more now, with a check on your background criminal record etc.

then you have to buy your security cabinet and install it before you get a home visit from police who will do a report. you can be turned down at this point so your stuck with a cabinet lol

I went for a 3 gun cabinet with seperate locking topbox for ammo.

also need proof of place to shoot an that they will allow you to shoot there

also need your application signed doctor etc sort of person.

cant think of out else will post up if I do

HTH
