Firearm Question

Have you ever shot anything? I reccomend learning how to shoot a rifle or shotgun first. Take your state's big game hunting course, and learn about gun safety. The biggest problem with guns nowadays is simply that no one knows how to properly treat, care (and care for) store and properly handle a weapon.

Think small... buy a cheap .22 Cal rifle. They can be had for $100, with a hundred rounds of ammo going for about $4. Learn how to sight, fire, and properly care for the weapon. Then get a pistol. At the hunter safety course, you should be told how to acquire pistol permits. Typically local adult education courses (likely taught right at your high school) will have courses regaurding permits.

A .38 is a good starter pistol. I had a .38 S&W Snub nose first. I graduated to a Colt Python (.357 Mag) and finally to a Colt Anaconda (.44 Mag) which was a monster. Now, I have an old Colt MK Vi .45 military pistol, reserved for home defense. I had a Desert Eagle, Thompson Contender, Walther PPK, and an S&W .44Mag as well. I never liked the automatics, they always jam up. The hotter they get, the worse they are at accuracy and jamming. I found Revolvers to be more attractive, accurate, and considerably more reliable than automatics.

I prefer rifles. They are more accurate, less fatiguing, more useful, better looking, and simply more fun to shoot. Not to mention, laws regaurding their posession and use are simple compared to pistols.

 

if you have never shot before a Dessart Eagle is WAY too much for you....

Like Seath Said get use to Rifles first..

start with a 22cal and work you way up..

I started Shooting 22 when I was 11 years old..

Best Gun I ever Shot was a SKS

Why do yu want a Dessart Eagel anyway, that is ALOT of firepower

 

Depends, New Used or Black Market


and what Caliber you want

D eagle will Range from $800 to $1400 depending on Age, Condition and Finish but like a Said .50cal's are not for the beginners

 

Figure on spending somewhere from $300-1000 bucks for a decent pistol.

I didn't like my Desert Eagle. It felt cheap, for an $800 pistol. I like the feel of a revolver. Go to a local gunshop and heft the weapons, get a feel for them, and you will see what I mean.

 

you can get a 9 on the streets for $75........

I dont recommend it though

 

I want to Expand my Thought a little

if you looking for a all around useful gun I do recommend a 9mm.. they are cheap, reliable and the ammo is also cheap

they are made in every style from small compact to large, every finsh from Black to Gold

However I do think you should get some Training on Rifiles and Shotguns, and safty/car


aslo for IN HOME defense the best is a Short Barrel Shot gun (shortest allowed by law in your state) with a Small Shot,

with a High Power Pistol or refile the Chances of "through wall travel" is great. putting everyone in your home.building in danger inadvertatly

with a Shot Gun the rage for a lethal hit is much lower, which is fine inside the home...

you need to determin what your purpose for the gun is and then decide which to get

dont pick one that "looks cool" or "has the most power" that is a bad way to pick a gun

in closing one of the guns I wish I could get is

I just want it.. I have not Purpose for it, probally would never even shoot it, :blush: :blush:

look at what is comes with

COMPLETE WITH: OWNERS MANUAL
LIFETIME WARRANTY
TYLENOL
EAR PLUGS


ROFL

 

I use to do alot of Long Range Target Shooting. nothing with that kind of Power though normally 7.62 which is the prefered caliber for Snipers anyway.

but that rifile with the Right Scope and Right Shooter could hit targets 1-2 miles away B) B) B)

 

Being on an audio forum, and from my background and concerns....

[note]
I should just point out that if you're going to be shooting guns, be prepared to lose some of your hearing. Wear good ear plugs (properly) as well as the ear muffs for best protection. This will help, but not fully block out all the damaging noises from your ears... so some damage will inherently occur. Effects will show up over the long term, so don't think it won't happen if in the first few times you go shooting, your ears are still fine.
[end of note]

Happy shooting!

 

Duck Hunt is a good place to start. That's how I learned.

 

Good point about the noise...

Good questions with regard to the legal issues / registration / etc.

So, I ask the obvious...

Why not start with a BB rifle?
I've shot those, and they are fun to set cans up on a fence or something in in a field... go way back, and shoot them off.
Or set up targets, etc.

BB rifles are cheap, relatively quiet, and don't require any considerations with regard to registration (at least not in NY, I'd bet that holds true for the rest of the country).

I'd do that, then graduate up to a "real" gun after that...
But if you aren't hunting, where you need that real power, I'd even stick with the BB gun personally. B)

Sure, there's no high-caliber / faux-military "bad-ass" factor...
But believe me, you won't pick up ANY chicks by showing her that you own high-caliber weapons... believe me of that... h34r:

 

but they will come in handed when Bush is reelected in nov in the contry in thrown in to a war that could rest in the first USA shore battle since the the world war

 

Methinks somebody was a little tipsy while visiting the board.

 

what that was suppose to say was

"they will come in handy when G.W.Bush is Reelected in November which will cause the Next World War, That war will more than Likely lead to the Attempted invasion of the USA, and since our Armed Forces are Spread across soo many Fronts in the soo called "war on terror" we will be left with one choice, to defend ourselves, which will require GUNS......"

EDIT
CIVIC96
