I want to shoot a gun

Just googled burst disc cannons, looks pretty cool.

Remember my uncle telling me of someone who used to work in the docks, would get a gas cylinder on a rail, aimed into the sea. Quick smack on the valve with a sledgehammer and off she goes, like a torpedo!

Magnums are pretty cool though

Not a magnum but fun. The crazy Thai lad was walking all around me taking pics telling me to put my finger on the trigger. I didn't just in case!

Oh it's post gun pics time?

Me looking fit (as per usual):



I know I can do all this abroad, but that's what I'd like to avoid. It's not as simple as to "Just go to Thailand", and if I did, I'd be shooting cows with bazookas, not pistols.

So to this "black powder" stuff. How can I actually get to shooting some? Can anybody recommend a place or club?

I heard a place in cambodia would let you have a go with an RPG7 (russkiy bazooka you see all the taliban with) at a cow. I think it was about $400 for the RPG and $400 for the cow, and you got your $400 for the cow back if you missed. Same place would let you have a go with an M60 for $1 a round. Shouting "get some" optional but encouraged.


For the black powder I would find a local club and see if you can go along, there are a few around but they don't tend to advertise on the net. Seems like making friends with joef59 up there would be a good start!

My friend went to Thailand and shot an AK47, but was offered £500 to shoot a cow with an RPG! Madness. Love it.

How could someone shoot a cow with a RPG? That's bloody cruel, admittedly it will probably die quick (hopefully).

I'd rather shoot an old car or a paedo or something.

You'd never hit the cow.

Fired a couple rpgs in Mongolia, (as well as the standard ak, dragonov, even fired a maxim) and it was a struggle to hit a wall of tyres at several 100 yards.
