What is the most fun gun to shoot?
Personally - I like Glock 9mm. Lightweight, powerful and pretty accurate. I'd have one if I didn't have a toddler, or had a gun locker somewhere....

2. 9 mm is a nice size
Especially for a delicate female like myself. But I've always enjoyed firing rifles. I had a Winchester Model 90 30/30 that was a lot of fun but a Mossberg pump shotgun with a pistol grip is what sits by my bedside.

3. Nothing like a shotgun!
I have a love of "full beer clay pigeon" with shotguns :)

8. How about one of these?
I've handled one on set, but never filred one. If you want one, you can still buy one, but not for much longer.



Barrett Arms 82A1 .50 rifle (as seen in the movie "Robocop")
USD$10,000 a piece.

16. You should see the shop sometime.
The armourer who does our tv shows owns about 45,000 long guns and 10,000 pistols. There are seldom more than 10 of any one variety (except AK-47s, M-16s, Colt .45 autos, Browning 9mms, M1 Carbines, and the rest of the "common" military weapons). The rest are usually sets of five or so. He's got everything.

He's got weapons from all over the world, and all are capable of live fire (and full-auto if they were originaly equipped as such). 18th Century black powder guns (some original), through Tommy Guns, Enfields, and Mausers, all the way to the latest technology.

He fabricated the crazy squad-weapon Gary Oldman was trafficing in "The Fifth Element", and a few other armed props for various projects.

There's nothing more fun than going to a public rifle range with him and pulling out a BAR, SAW M249, Schmeisser, Galil, or Skorpion. You should see the looks we get.

11. That's a little more sleek and spiffed up than the ones I fired.
This one's closer, but still newer.

9. My .38 gut buster.
It's got no hammer, no accuracy after I forget how many feet,(probably just me) but it's the only one I have and I practice with it anyway. It is kinda of fun.
Don't ask me what a gut buster is.

12. Skeet and trap shooting is the best!
I have fired many full auto's during my time in the Marines. I have fired plenty of others while hanging out at the range.
Nothing beats an afternoon of skeet shooting. Moving targets are a little more exciting than a peice of paper stuck to the plywood.
As far as your not having a gun safe with a kid around. Its easy to prevent a stupid accident. You lock your ammunition away and always unload the weapon before you leave the range. Trigger locks are cheap and will render the firearm safe.

23. I had a Taurus .380,
which was built in Brazil with Beretta patents.

At 25 yards I could put all 13 rounds in center mass.

24. Tater Gun
Get bored and change it up. Make it a 2mater gun. Or a turnip torpedo.

They'll do in a pinch.
