Vulcha Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 You fired a whole missile team? I bet they weren't happy about that, and appealed against your descision to put them out of work. The wierdest gun I've fired is erm, well, I haven't actually fired anything thats particularly wierd. Rarest would probably be a real old Webley airpistol. Can't remember the model but I'll find out.

Poacher Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Not weird or rare, but GPMG is my best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBill Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 If we're getting daft, how about a 155 mm HE round at 20 miles? Or a Rapier air defence missile at £40 k a throw- done 5 of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 The rarest gun I've fired wasn't that rare, but quite fun. It was a .577 snider enfield carbine, the first breech loading black powder rifle of the british army. It kicked like a mule, much harder than the .303 I fired the other week, and I couldn't see the target (a 25l oil drum) for some time due to all the smoke! I missed the drum completely, at 40m, and had a sore shoulder for a week. I was only about 14 at the time and it was the most fun thing I'd ever done in my life I had the pleasure of firing a Milan anti tank missile when whilst on exercise Many moons ago Great fun at £12000 a pop I'm jealous, seriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 The most unusual (so far): a 120mm rifled gun, from the warmth and comfort of a Challenger 2 at BATUS. The al fresco experience of firing a 105mm Light Gun is quite good fun, but not as much fun as a GPMG in sustained fire mode. That's very satisfying............ Any Crabs on here that can interrupt this willy-waving contest with tales of their mud moving exploits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Lots of cool stuff while in NI with the army, courtesy of the weapons int guys (tommy gun, barret, DshK, AKM, luger, walther p38, colt 1911, owen gun, sten, bren...the list goes on.. But the best by far... Home made 9mm submachine gun "donated" by an IRA weapons cache in 1990. ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I was honoured to load and fire Snotty`s Baker rifle at Bisley last year and it was as much the joy he got from letting people have a go as firing it himself that made it for me........the singed eyebrows and burn marks on my face were well worth it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
