No. This isn't about sex. It's about guns.
Hell yeah!
I'm off to a shooting range to shoot... guns... I think.

We're going with a group of friends. One of them's hobby is shooting (he owns a Magnum... When he first told us that, I thought he was on about an ice-cream) and we're joining him. ON THE RANGE!!

I hope the targets have little pictures of conservative Christians on them. That would motivate me endlessly.

So, I'm practicing cocking my head and whispering in a course voice: "Go ahead punk, make my day."
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG

"Did I just fire five times or six." (actually, reading the bang bang bit back, it's half as cool as in the film.. but you get the jist).

Any bets?
I bet I'm gonna be the sharpest shooter on the range!!

WOO HOOOO

If it's the first time you've shot a pistol, you won't hit doodly-squat. As far as magnums go, the .357 is no great shakes unless the barrel is at least 6" or more, and if it's a .44 mag, you won't like shooting it at all if you're a n00b.
If anyone in your party has a "magnum" with a snub nosed barrel and thinks he's got a firebreather, he's ignorant.
And if they don't handload, they're tyros.

Be sure to bring lots of beer, nothing's better than alcohol and firearms.

Is this actually real? I would say, reading between the lines, that you are actually just going to watch the movie and pretend you are in it with a plastic toy gun.

I own both, so I can say with experience that you are absolutely correct. The .357 with a 4" barrel is accurate to about 40' slow fire and about 15' rapid fire. The .44 magnum is too much gun for a n00b. The kick will make you jerk the trigger instead of squeezing it. It is a gun that takes a lot of practice to get used to.

To Shav: I hope that you are not as nearly cavalier at the range, if I brought someone to my club who had that attitiude, I wouldn't let them shoot a bb gun. Hand guns are seriuos business, and they have one single purpose... to kill people.

You could save yourself the time of turning out lights by shooting the light bulbs out as well.

I find this thread strangely arousing.

Well... What can one say?

A Magnum is neither an ice cream or a gun (could a fooled me there)... it's a bullet.

I shot with all sorts of pistols and basically... the Christian right have very little to fear from me... I think I'll be better off taking up brick-throwing or something.

Funnily enough, I seem to have played cowboys and indians so often as a kid, that I was jerking the gun and making gun noises before even pulling the bloody trigger.

Trigger jerking was the least of the problems. I liked the automatic pistols best. Just firing like a gangster and murmuring: "Who's yer daddy!" (I found the gun people a little too serious to be shouting weird comments on the range).

All in all, I think that guns like me. I like guns... but animals and capitalists can sleep in peace. My aim is as rotten as Mugabe.

It's a cartridge. A bullet is the thing that comes out the barrel.
