Decommissioned guns.

No going to lie so get right to it. I love firing guns. They are ace. If I lived in the US I would have loads of them.

The smell, the kick back the buzz of hitting 6 in a bunch. I only have limited TA experience and US range  but have fired loads of different weapons.

Guns are ace and I have no desire or interest in shooting anyone. Same way motorbikes give you a buzz but I will never be a racer.

Would never have a live one in my home with a kid as it is asking for trouble but they look cool decommissioned on the wall.

You can buy this for £300. Hang it on the wall above the telly. Ace.

Anyone bought one?

Think the liking of guns is a bit misunderstood by people who have no experience of them.

It is not about being hard or wanting to hurt someone, they are just an incredible tool that require total respect and control. The 1st time you ever fire an automatic weapon at a target 300m away and hit it dead center gives you a feeling that I cannot replicate with anything else. Nothing is comparable.

The feeling of power makes you feel weak if anything. Makes you appreciate that a life is easy to take but hard to live with because it is so easy.

I had air rifles as a kid and shot hundreds of what i thought were rats on the canal in Bootle.

Turns out I was probably responsible for the destruction of the entire inner city water vole population. What a dick,

Learnt me a couple of lesson though.

Are you ex-forces PST? 

 

I've fired a few weapons and I'll be honest, they are terrifying dangerous bastards that shouldn't exist. They absolutely should not be used by anyone untrained and the US gun law is mind blowing (pardon the pun). I can't honestly say they ever 'empowered' me firing one and I'll happily never lay hands on one again.

Not ex forces mate just reserves. Weekend warrior.

Did my time though and was highly thought of. Nearly got commissioned but fuck Sandhurst. My job made me pack it in too many ongoing projects to fuck off for a fortnight and sleep in a ditch. Great experience though and gave me total respect for lads who do it full time. Some of the greatest men I have ever met were in the forces. Not just tough but gentlemen.

Never will I forget being at some camp in Northumberland and we had to do a BFT. Battle fitness test. In full kit with a weapon. Heavy as fuck.

Think it was 1.5k in 10 mins or so. Anyway I twatted it and came in 1st or 2nd. Thought I was the man.

Then some sergeant in the paras turned up and bought us all beers. Older guy late 30's. We did it again the next day and he beat me by minutes. Then went to the assault course I was 1/2 way in and he had finished and had done my stuff again and was behind me encouraging me to get on. Never to this day seen anything like that level of fitness, drive or humbleness. Again he bought all the beers and simply disappeared. Made me feel humble to the bone. What a guy..

I remember being in training after a morning on the firing range and I was only 17 (just turned) still a skinny out of school spotty runt. Anyway we had to march back carrying our weapons and one of the instructors made me carry the case for the rounds. Never felt pain in my arm like it, I was nearly crying he clearly did it on purpose but you're in a squadron and aren't exactly going to put them down for a rest. I felt like Kes when he gets put in goal freezing and then boots the ball. 

 

Agreed though, some really brilliant and inspiring people in the forces. Also plenty of absolute bellends.

Remember going on the piss after training in Salisbury. Think we were in Bath. We went to a load of squaddie pubs and never have I seen such a gang of horrible ignorant thick cunts that I met on that night or two. The British Army's finest.

I am so weak that to my regret i just went along with it rather than getting a kicking but some of the stuff was way beyond acceptable. 

I know you were navy and I was in Poole for a couple of weeks doing some SBS sniper stuff with the navy. I was a good shot. Anyway I coped for this girl who I was not too bothered about but for a while it was pretty serious but my mate was infatuated with her. I told him to go for it I'll walk away. I was not arsed.

He apparently told her I was dead and got my address wrote to my mother to ask her to carry on the facade and say I was dead in case this girl got in touch so he could nail her. My mum being daft thought I was dead and shit herself.

Again the finest sometimes are cunts.

Hahahahahaha. I've a million stories when it comes to birds while in the forces. At my peak I spent more time in bed in the wrens block than my own. Brilliant days, best left in the past but some great memories all the same.

Never quite understood why they called navy and marine lads homos. despite the fact that the marine lads were mostly tough as fuck and them and the navy lads got more fanny in Portsmouth than the infantry could every dream of. Most of infantry sex was watching german porn in shit tents.

"Just an incredible tool... designed to kill people."

 

Not for me, Clive. A Bosch power drill is an incredible tool that deserves respect, but I wouldn't fetishise it and hang it above the telly.

Hahahaha there's only so many women in Catterick. The gay thing comes from years of only males at sea on ships. Skates was a term as well because apparently sailors years ago used to wank using them. 

 

The navy was also the first service to allow gays in I think? I can't recall ever knowing a single gay marine or matelot but half the wrens seemed to be lesbian. 

 

Pongos defo wank each other off in tents.

Like i say unless you have experience of it, it is difficult to explain.

1st thing that will hit you is the weight. They are substantial. and not anything like a toy.

Then the feel. The mechanism. The loading the cocking and then the earth shattering noise and power, it is an unforgettable experience. Firing a weapon.

Sounds like my last wank.

I’ve fired a shotgun and a handgun. Also an air gun and air rifle. Nobody died. Guns are good fun and don’t have to be deadly or dangerous. Same as anything else. A spoon can be deadly or dangerous.
