Wat's Guns-N-Stuff Thread

Growing up, the best thing about guns was how it brought me together with some family members who I otherwise had nothing in common with.

My stepfather bought me my first gun - it was a POS Savage .22. I still have it but I wore it out, it won’t fire half the time anymore but I still have it as a keepsake. I’ve got a Ruger 10-22 that I’ve put upward of 10k round through, a .63 cal modern muzzleloader, a 12 gauge, and a 1911.

I did a lot of shooting with two of my brothers, it was the only thing we ever connected on. I was much better with long range open sights than anyone else in the family so it was kind of fun to have one “manly” thing I was better at, except that it pissed off my stepdad and he stopped shooting competitively with me. :rolleyes:

I used to take my kids shooting at a remote range on BLM land. They would burn through whatever ammo we brought then go collecting spent brass to recycle for cash.

One of my kids built some DIY muzzle loader kits and did write ups for fifth-grade independent study and got credit for history, science, and PE.

There is a local queer gun club I met at a shooting range. You should see the look on other people’s faces when a bunch of guys in drag start laying out their black guns. 🤣

One of my best friends and his dad were shot and killed (intentionally) by his brother in law a few years ago and I haven’t been shooting since, but lately I’ve been wanting to reconnect with the queer gun club. Those folks are fun. 👍

I'll bet they are!!! Sounds like a non-standard outing.


I almost always go shooting alone. Of course, nowadays when I'm Out West, I just walk out the back door.

I used to go shooting alone in Wisconsin. I like the solitude and ability to concentrate without interruption. I would go to a rural DNR range to shoot. Call me paranoid but I always had my loaded pistol on my hip when I was rifle shooting, especially if others were there.

One minor factual error in this video. The SturmGewehr was not marked MP43 or MP44 because of the ammunition, it was marked as such to hide the fact that it was a mid sized cartridge rifle. Hitler opposed the design and this was an effort to get a better weapon into the hands of the troops by hiding what it really was from him. Reports from the Russian front praising the rifle and asking for more initially surprised/shocked Hitler but the praises of his commanders rapidly changed his mind and he named it the storm rifle, SturmGewehr, and it was then marked as StG 44.

Okay, interesting. It certainly gave the Wehrmacht something quite effective to counter the sub-machine-gun armed units that the Russians has created. They could engage effectively at 50 yards whereas the Germans could do so at 200 yards with the StG44.


I have always thought that it'd be fun to spend an afternoon with one.

And expensive. *chuckle* A friend of mine had a MG42. We'd all reload all year and then take it out to the Everglades and shoot the damn thing. Took us an hour and a half to shoot up a years worth of reloads and that included letting the barrel cool down between strings.

I haven't seen any 7.92 Kurz on sale lately, either.
 
While many of you probably hunt dove, my fall hunts will primarily be for pheasant, duck, deer, coyote, and wild hogs. And I may sneak a goose hunt in during December.

The caliber of choice for the pheasant, duck, and geese–12 gauge.

The caliber of choice for the deer–30-30.

The caliber of choice for the coyote–5.56.

The caliber of choice for the wild hogs–.308 Win.

A lot of hunters like to use an over/under shotgun to pheasant hunt, but I enjoy a semiautomatic because it gives me one extra shot in the event I have two birds at once and I miss one the first time around. I also like to use a semiautomatic because the felt recoil is lower, due to the action of the shotgun, and that allows me to do better staying on target for second (or third) shots.

:cool:
 
Pump guns are my choice for wing shooting. I use a 20ga. for Dove and quail, 12ga. for the rest.
 
The pump gun at Chez Wat is of the military pattern for things that go bump in the night.


It is, however, quite defective since it hasn't killed me.


Yet.
 
Sad day, the USMC has finally dropped the M1911 from it's sidearm arsenal. The Marines were the last military branch in the US which was still using an American made pistol.

They've now moved on and are using Sig's modular platform. Horrid ergonomics and it likes to bite and pinch but it's cheaper because it uses that climate change contributing factor called plastic.

But hey, it has a built in light rail and comes in desert tan.

Yeah, kinda sad, but then they hung on to the '03A3 past its expiration date. Still, they do like their firearms. I like my SIGs.


Junior is going to look into getting a left-handed 1911.
