I've never fire a gun in my life and i don't pray to do so ,no matter the circumstances on ground,so i can't really answer your question.i am sorry about that.
Re: Very 1st Time You Fired A Gun by Digiman(m): 6:06pm On Aug 10, 2007
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.

I've never fired a firearm, nor do I intend to. undecided

Why this particular topic?
Re: Very 1st Time You Fired A Gun by nanaboi(m): 4:39pm On Aug 13, 2007
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.

Are trying to catch criminals or breed them? Cos l know is far different 4rm other western countries of the world where the use of guns are legalize.
We dont even have a legal gun shop so for ur research, l dont 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

abelix:

a 6 year old boy in my area whose father is in the military ,shot and killed his younger brother 2 weeks ago

He wud 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 shud 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 wat I need.

I need some1 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 neva 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 wud seem as tho there were many guys in the house, then he fired twice.

He got so scared he ran and hid afta 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.

LOL, I was going to reply, but since you specifically said. this is not for trained Armed Forces, I'll keep my weapon training out of it. haha

peace,

Re: Very 1st Time You Fired A Gun by nanaboi(m): 4:50pm On Aug 28, 2007
@ SwtNsoFLyy
I appreciate ur contribution.
On a second thought, could u tell me about ur weapon training? Even if just a little. @ this dark point, every bit of info is deemed divine.

Laser target practice offers a safe and convenient way to hone your shooting skills from the comfort of your own home. Unlike traditional target practice, it eliminates the need for live ammunition, making it a cost-effective option. With a laser training system, you can utilize a laser cartridge in your firearm and a special target that registers the laser's impact. This allows you to focus on fundamentals like proper grip, sight alignment, and trigger control, all in a safe environment. Many laser target practice systems even offer apps that track your progress and provide feedback on your technique. Overall, laser target practice is a valuable tool for beginners and experienced shooters alike, looking to improve their marksmanship.
