Shooters?

Cray indeed.

Andrew, my name is adam. I was in the infantry as a medic. I have some training with small arms fire. Now I'm just a civilian with latent interests.

I believe I saw one of your youtube vids was a full auto blip. You must have a license. Or are in a state that allows it. Can you point me to information on having this type of license or do you know much about this sort of thing?

I would like to go there... just for fun.

Found a reasonable answer: Yes, no new automatics. You have to buy an old one, limited numbers high prices and a $200 application.

Probably not going to happen...

Andrew is in Oregon.... :)

[adam]

Yes, and you are in Texas.

Yes, and I am sure he is savy to that class of weapon.

We checked out a P90 yesterday, sweet.

We enjoy shooting and it is a hobby to us, not a lifestyle.


"live by the gun, die by a gun"


I live by a good set of morals and my brain keeps me alive. I own guns because they are serious fun.


Blah blah blah, life is good and so is fishing, small streams.

I thought you were meaning with the full auto stuff. no worries. Texas is sort of weird, Arms-wise. But yeah, guns are fun for me, not really protection...

[adam]

Yes, class III: http://www.recguns.com/Sources/IIF1.html (what happened to the great interface for images, links and such?)

His youtube video was a link to a child shooting a automatic weapon. I figured if he was posting that, he better well know the laws regarding the legal ownership of that sort of weapon.

There are a fixed amount of fully automatic weapons (pull and hold the trigger, it continues to fire bullets) that are registered in the United States. You can apply for a license to the BATF to own and operated said weapon but you must buy one that has already been registered.

Fixed amount = outrageous prices on a machine gun.

It's a cool thing but in essence, a machine gun wastes ammunition for small arms fire...

We just got back from a Gun Show in Phoenix, my first one. Pretty cool that you can buy and sell like that but a good gun store will have all that available.


Anyway, I found what I was looking for. Something like that, I would research on my own but I was hoping to learn a little something maybe from him.

Take care and I got some pictures from the range this morning. We put 250 through the Glock 17...

Soldier Of Fortune Mag. You get all these kits and addons. I was on a rapid fire team. LOve all the assault weapons with the bells and whistles. I know that my stepson (just out of the Army) in Central Bahgdad was a scout and fired some interesting stuff. I got to stay with a retired FBI that had a lot of interesting Weaponry so to speak. I am not sure what this state accepts and doesn't. I even laugh with my bro in Colorado having an Uzi (fun to fire). Well back to the basic Black Powder 6 shooters (I am getting back into that......and my own loads) !!!

Went out again today, into the desert and shot across a valley.

S&W MP-15 .223, Ruger LCP 38, Ruger 9, Glock 17 and a couple of different 22LR rifles.

I shot 200rds throughout the G-17 and a couple of magazines through each of the others.


So much fun.


We set up a table for loading with a spotting scope and another for shooting.

I can't believe how accurate my Glock is, unreal! Actually, I am pretty good at pistol marksmanship.

Guns are super neat.


I bought some good hearing protection too, muffs.


...and got a new automatic Gerber!
