What are you doing shooting ? are you a member of a shooting club, do you have a  license for the weapon you are handling ?

Any way the first couple of things that strike you are the recoil and  how loud it is  Shocked, and oh yeah its not easy to get your taget without aiming properly, its worlds apart from  the stuff you see in movies.

Well like I said, it's some sort of research I'm doing

Truth is I'm trying 2 write a story about a young guy caught in the campus violence web. And I have what u might call a writer's block - run out of inspiration/ the right descriptions.

So anything u say here about a gun will help, especially if u're a graduate/undergraduate of a Nigerian university, or u've been in any state similar 2 the one I've mentioned.

your target need not even have been human.

First time I fired a bull-dog was in the bush during jolly. It gave me all the insurance I needed to do what I had to do to make it through university in one piece.

this topic is shit,
Are trying to catch criminals or breed them? Cos l know is far different from other western countries of the world where the use of guns are legalize.
We don't even have a legal gun shop so for your research, l don't think this is the right place,u can go and ask the milgtary men,police and armed rubbers l believe u will have more than enough of what u are looking for

He would have been very useful 2 my quest, only I'm sure it must be too traumatic 2 try even if I knew how 2 get him.

If I should ask a military guy or anybody in the force, they're likely 2 lecuture me about some field/ training/ shooting @ a target. No that's not what I need.

I need someone who didn't do it the good/ lawful way with no consequences.

4 instance, I know of a young man who had a pomp buthad never fired all his life till one night when thieves assailed his compound.
He had his younger brothers make a lot of noise 4 him so it would seem as tho there were many guys in the house, then he fired twice.

He got so scared he ran and hid after firing, but the thieves had run too - they weren't hardened armed robbers sha.

So u get my drift? I need 2 know how accidental first-timers like that felt, that's all.

@ SwtNsoFLyy
I appreciate your contribution.
On a second thought, could u tell me about your weapon training? Even if just a little. @ this dark point, every bit of info is deemed divine.
