What I did today

[Professor S]

I haven't fired a weapon in quite some time, and I think the last one I did fire was a flintliock musket (not a rifle, as it was smoothbore). Horribly inaccurate as the were meant to be fired en masse into a line of enemies, but I couldn't help feeling like a Dwarven Hunter from WoW.

I'm not a fan of most automatic weapons. They tend to waste ammo and have a vicious kick to them.

Give me a circa-WW2 M-1 Carbine any day over an M-16. Reliable, accurate at medium-long range and has serious knock-down power. I've seen what those slugs do to metal and wood, and I imagine getting hit with one would be like getting hit by a tiny Mack truck.

I remembering going to the gun range here with my scout group and being absolutely petrified of being shot. But I had a great time and I shot a whole different range of guns. Rifles and pistols mostly, nothing automatic. Sigh.

the last part of the video, you can hear a gatling/mini gun.. that thing was wicked

120 bux worth of ammo lasts you about 3-4 seconds

looked just like this:


whenever someone would shoot it, the rounds would be ALL over the place

[Happydude]

was it a video or just audio? because i couldn't see anything, just hear the shooting.

The M1 Garand was far better. it had 30.06 caliber rounds semi automatic and very accurate. I was under the inmpression that the carbine was under powered and a half way point between a pistol and a rifle. I did some googling and came up with this

Despite its convenience, many soldiers never liked the carbine and it had a reputation as underpowered and mechanically tempremental, not to mention inaccurate beyond about 150 yards. Nonetheless, the Carbine proved an effective light weight weapon that was frequently carried for protection as something between a pistol and a full rifle.

All I know is that I cut a 9 (give or [IMG]take) inch diameter tree down at 50 yards with a 10 bullet clip. If thats underpowered, then I'm Oprah Winfrey. Maybe compared to other arms it is, but from my experience the Carbine is the overall best firearm I've used, even though it does kick like a mule. Then again I've never fired a Garand, so you might very well be correct.

wow, seems like you had fun, looked awesome.

That is so American... or Middle Eastern.. I'm not sure which one.
