This reminds me of the first time I fired anything. 15 years old with my mate's spring-loaded air rifle. He never told me how to hold it or warned me of the kick. So there I am, rifle loosely held to my shoulder with my eye to the scope. Pulled the trigger...CRUNCH...scope hit me between the eyes and I have blood pouring everywhere. My mate's on the floor laughing. I still bear the faint scar. You live and learn.:rotfl: :rotfl:

A spring loaded air rifle with a noticeable kickback? I never even realized mine had one ad all.:hmm:

Mine has one. Sends out a .177 pellet at about 900+ fps! Can be used for hunting small game. I have 4 types of pellets for it, from hunting to target practice.

This thing is so strong that if you fire it, the compression is so massive that smoke comes out of the barrel. Blow in from one side and you get a little smoke cloud.

PS. i stand corrected! This thing does over 1000 fps!

O.K. then they are definetley more powerful than the stuff we have here.:yep:

I wouldn't call it much of a kick though, but it has one. Probably .22 long rifle cal class!

Best thing for kick is .50 cal black powder. I've gone home at the end of the day to have a nice black bruise on my shoulder! Its kind of like someone hauling back and punching you because its very solid.

For unbelievable recoil, how about a .600 Nitro handgun - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfF_FIlIowc

A heavier version in this calibre may be a better choice (http://www.vincelewis.net/60magnum.html)

That is NOT a handgun. That is an artillery piece without wheels.

Handguns do not require spotters 5KM away with a radio.

Handguns are not fired in indirect fire mode taking in to account the earth's rotation.

That is NOT a handgun!

OMG not just a .60 but a .60 Mag <shudder>

Some of that firepower is awesome :yep:

This is the last firearm I discharged....and I thank God I missed :o

With a Bullet Weight of 900 grains and a Muzzle Velocity 1950 fps, it produces Muzzle Energy of 7591 ft/lbs or 3½ tons.

each round costs $40.00.... per round. This is NOT a handgun it is an anti-tank field piece sans limber. :)

We had 3 of these going in the desert! The funny militia guys off in the distance with their semi auto trying to off rds between all of them as fast as possible - we pulled up three of these, one being a .40 cal, and one being standard (9mm), and one being a PDW (tiny secret service one). We unleased 100 rds at one time in about 3 seconds total time! All the militia guys went silent for a bit! It was too funny! I have it on video!

That was a good day. I bought 700 rds of 9mm earlier in the day for $1.74 a box of 50! That didn't include what everyone else bought! We had about 5000 rds total. I also picked up 120 rds of 5.56, and about 200 rds of 7.62x39 too.

We brought a Glock 18 with us, but that thing just eats ammo like its going out of style, so I avoided it after about 3 mags. Also had a fully auto Krinkov with us, and an M-16.

:o :o Holy Crap! What brand?! What store?! Was the ammo any good? Send me a few boxes! :D

[quote=ASWnut101]It was generic crap 115 gr - white box, probably reloaded. I didn't have a single misfire either! Worked great! I wouldn't use it to take someone down, but for plinking in the middle of AZ, no problem! Its been about 1.5 years now since I found that price. We are into 2 digits lately for a box of 50 rds. No way around it. Gas and metal have gone through the roof price wise.

Trust me though, I worked that trip. Got everything free or at major discount. Rented a Cadillac DTS even for $49 a day, got lodging including free drinks at night and breakfast at a discount of $200 for $99 a day. I'm just touching the tip of the iceberg. Got them to rent the penthouse at the grand canyon for $150 a day for example - thats what I offered if nobody took it and they took it! Trust me, i worked that trip farther than you can possibly imagine.

[quote=SUBMAN1]Ah. I can get a box (200 rounds) of UMC 9mm for about 10-15 dollars here. At least, that's what it was about six months ago. I don't even remember if it was on sale, either. :yep:

P.S. Were the 7.62's Wolf brand? Great ammo for a great price.

[quote=ASWnut101]I've got a brick of 7.62x39 Wolf over here - 500 rds + more but the 500 rds is unopened sealed in plastic. I could care less what is run through the AK. The AR however I'd be a bit more picky with. I have exclusively Lake City for that thing. Mostly M855 SS109. The M855 is armor peircing to 6mm.

True, the AK will eat anything you put in it (which is practically the exact opposite with an AR-15/M-16). I use Wolf brand for my SKS (Bought about two months ago). I thought about buying even cheaper Tiger ammo for it, but I have essentially lost my trust of Chinese imported goods.

Man, I'd love to go out into the open (like the AZ desert) to have a fun day of shooting. Too bad there is almost no outdoor gun ranges around here, and there's even less public land.
