Firing the .45
Oct12
And now Heidi starts rocking it.
I will, on occasion, be using pics of actual targets we’ve shot in the past. Mostly because I take a lot of pics at the range, and some of these are clogging up my drive. I believe this particular target was photographed in 2008, when I took a buddy out to try my S&W Sigma .40 at 10 yards. (Horrible gun, got rid of it.) I could be wrong – this was ages ago.
Although Heidi gets cocky here, I still say heeding a good instructor your first times out at the range is a good idea. If you’ve never fired a specific gun before, heed those who have, and take their advice. If you’re new, go with a good instructor.
Don’t be like these doofuses…
I clicked that tacticool-rifle link. Now my brain hurts from teh st00pid. South Bend is not missing its village idiots. It elected them to the City Council.
They had to find something useful for them to do. Ingesting lead chips isn’t much of a long-term career.
Why do I have a strange feeling that there’s a reason there’s eight “POW”s there of nine total, and she’s going to end up giving Mick a flesh wound with the ninth, proving his point and setting himself up for a pity fuck at the very least?
I seriously need to cut down on my safety time at the range I think. Literally moved my office chair out of the way of the screen when the girl turned and muzzle swept the firing line after the casing went down her shirt.
I ducked for cover, and it’s years since I spent any time on a range. The military do have a habit of ingraining weapons safety into you. I wouldn’t have allowed any of them within 10yards of a weapon.
She’s acting the way I felt the first time i fired the boyfriend’s Colt. Ear-to-ear grinning FTW.
I’m amazed that Anthony guy didn’t break his wrist…
just stay from dueling pistols those suckers have wrist breaking recoil…. or at least that was my memory from the first and only time I fired a .59 cal black powder pistol…
I mistyped it was a .58 cal pistol, damn what where those folks and highwaymen of the 16th-18th centuries?
I’ll see if I can get some video today. I didn’t bring any really crazy stuff, but I’ve got the .54 pistol, .44 cap-and-ball, Tub of Happiness (Modern handguns), matchlock, flintlock, .22 rifle, SKS, and SU16. Oldstyle Pennsylvania German schützenfest going on today.
While this isn’t related to this specific comic, I think it’ll be relevant to later comics: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012/10/10/guns-of-the-modern-pirate/
