Feel bad about yourself.

I use a gun for anal masturbation. It has to be loaded too or I find it hard to come.

I managed to put a loaded gun into a slip and have it point at occupant of front centre seat whilst bouncing along track, then carry loaded gun in slip to my peg. I never told anyone.

My skin still turns cold at the thought and I am ashamed of this lapse to this day. I still shoot.

Slip is a gun slip; canvas soft cover to carry shotgun between drives. Pic relevant - there are many types

In driven pheasant shooting, the Guns (capital G - the men with the guns) are set out in a line in set positions, marked by numbered "pegs" stuck in the ground by the gamekeeper. Beaters then move through the woods and the ground in front of the Guns making noise and waving flags as they walk forward to "drive" the birds over the Guns and, if the bird is considered a "sporting" shot (i.e. not too low) then the Gun will shoot at the bird, hopefully killing it dead in the air. The drive starts when the beaters are lined up ready to start moving forward, when the keeper blows a horn to signal the beaters to move forward and make noise/wave flags; it also warns the Guns that birds may appear at any time (it's also not allowed to shoot before the horn sounds, even if birds fly over). When the beaters reach the end of the wood or are close to the Guns so there are no birds left hiding, then the drive is over and the gamekeeper blows a whistle to signal to stop shooting, unload guns and pick up downed birds.

It's not strictly hunting, as the birds are often reared just for the shooting as opposed to "rough shooting " wild game. It's something that started in England on the landed gentry's estates in Edwardian times, when the breech-loading shotgun made such sport possible.

Does that help?

>>31454999
Till slide lock faggot.

>>31456004
(cont)
Forgot to add. There may be 5-10 drives in a day, with all the guns and beaters moving to different areas of the estate, often in cars and vans, to shoot various patches of ground (confusingly, these patches of ground are also called "drives" and each will have a line of pegs for the Guns)

>>31454999
Did the exact same with a Jimenez .380, but I was drunk off my ass.

>>31456004
v. informative, thanks

took it apart the wrong way for the first time

When I first got my AR I got the safety selector stuck between safe and fire and I couldn't figure out how to fix it without googling the problem and realizing the gun was cocked so it couldnt be set to safe

>>31456061
I was just a moron. I didn't cycle all the ammo through the gun....don't know why. And then forgot there was one in the chamber. Very scary.

>>31454999

Fucking idiot.

I literally don't understand how people do this. I've seen this shit posted one too many times.

I once bought a pistol because I actually thought that I would ever use it for something, instead of it sitting unused under my bed waiting to get turned in to Hillary's door-to-door confiscation team in a few months.

Should have spent the money on a new computer.

>>31456201

>>31456549

function test after you reassemble. Make sure everything is in working order.

You're supposed to make sure it's empty first.

>>31456549
Some people probably think leaving it cocked is bad for the springs or something. It's the same principle as thinking leaving a mag loaded will wear it out.

>>31456549
I always wag under the impression that in an armory you decock the weapon to take stress off of the spring in the trigger

>>31456590

Shot a tree with a bb gun when I was about 10 or so from 8ft away.
Got hit by the ricochet in the stomach. Didn't break skin but left a nice red mark. Would have lost an eye if I was unlucky.

Since then I've been more or less safe except for another incident. I wouldn't say it was my fault but idk.

It was just a small piece of lead that managed to hit me. Broke skin a but it was only because it had a nice sharp edge. Hurt like getting hit with a hard hard hitting airsoft gun or a paintball gun but with a slightly more sharp pain.

I didn't think I would get hit by a ricochet because I was at a slight angle and reasonably far away but maybe I was just unlucky.

I like to tell people I've been shot now too.

Don't underestimate the chances of getting hit by a ricochet, wear your eye pro.

I remember shooting on my stepfather's range. There's a lot of mesquite trees near the backstop, and when you shoot you can see their leaves start falling off, because they're getting cut off by exploding bits of lead.

Had a bit of lead fly back and land on my arm and burn it and slightly cut it too.

Always wear that fucking eyepro.

Took me longer than care to about, but it was a double barrel shotgun, and he left it loaded guys. Looking up b25 sporter being the key here.

So they get to the part where they may shoot the bird, and he's standing around thinking is gun is unloaded. And then he goes to the next place thinking his gun is still unloaded while in transit. He thinks his gun remains unloaded while he stows it and removes it from storage.

So how the fuck is he suppose to shoot the bird when he thinks his gun is unloaded?

You don't load the gun until the next run of shooting is just about to begin.

>>31457719
So he's imagining the gun is being unloaded each time he stows it and loaded each time he removes it?

No, he forgot to unload it, then forgot to load it. He's literally pulling a gun from stowage, thinking it's unloading and stepping up to potentially shoot at birds.

>Removed mag forgot to rack slide

>>31458748
The way I was taught was remove mag. Disengage safety, rack slide 2-3 times. Quick chamber check then point down range and pull. If inside of a home or somewhere where you can't risk a shot leave out last part. I can't believe I left out racking the slide and trust me boet I feel like an idiot... well I am one. But I did still point it into a berm like pile of dirt. It was on a mine. I regret removing the mag safety on my Browning.

Except I'm not rich, it wasn't my estate; a group of friends and I were just buying some driven pheasant shooting.

And I thought the English were the ones with the class war attitudes, whereas the USA was meant to be egalitarian?

>>31458069
Nearly right. I forgot to unload it, went to load it for the next drive and it was already loaded. And had been for the whole journey. Could easily have gone off in the Landrover and shot the spine out of the guy in the front seat. For a pheasant shooter the way I told it was more dramatic, but....meh

Apologies for assuming you guys knew the basics of driven pheasant shooting - my bad. I also didn't expect this to create a shitstorm, so that's another embarrassing thing

There were a couple of guys who responded that I owe a special apology to, as I had assumed everyone on /k/ had functioning synapses. Time for sleep now.

Turns out the gun had already had a round cycled into the chaimber before i inserted the clip, leading to there being 10 round in the gun instead of 9. I stupidly assumed this and accidently pulled the trigger. Still shiver about it today.

>>31456549

Why dry fire?

You must be new. Dry fire, when properly done, allows the use to gain experience with trigger work and sight alignment. When improperly done, it results in exciting new ventilation opportunities, plus surprise experience with recoil management, pants shitting, and excuse generation.

Oh I've had some seriously stupid moments, but they were all mechanical faults, and not solely my stupidity.

>>31459078
Wait so are you telling me you put in the magazine and never tried to chamber a round. This has to be bait because you didn't know it was loaded yet you still never tried to chamber a round before shooting. Or you're changing a detail in the story to try and cover up that you fired 8 shots instead of 9 and never cleared the chamber like a retard.

I'm a rich faggot who goes on 'european style' hunts where they literally throw/kick birds on front of my shotgun so we can feel like 'men' while playing dress-up to justify carrying our stupid 'superior' double-barrels around while the chaps tell jolly-good riveting tales

Go walk 6ft tall CRP for 20 miles like a real man with a few buddies and a dog, freezing your dick off so the birds sit tight enough for you to get close enough to get a shot. I've been pheasant hunting for 20 years and despise faggots who pay $500+ (sometimes even thousands) to go play dress-up and shoot fish in a barrel

>>31459432
Forgive my lack of knowledge - is the stock varnished, or is it protected by being oiled?

And is the mark a dent or a cut?

If the stock is not varnished, and it's a dent, you can raise the dent by steam. I've put small pads of wet cotton wool on a dent then pressed the nose of my wife's iron (no, not golf) onto the cotton wool, making sure the iron doesn't touch the wood. Much steam ensures, this steam being forced into the fibres, making them swell and filling out the dent (and leaching out the oil - but you can put that back). You'll have to do this several times as the cotton wool soon gets hot, flat and dry. Then, when the dent's out, let the wood dry naturally and re-finish by rubbing in your favourite stock oil. I've used this method successfully on Beretta shotguns when the stock got banged.

What does that even mean? Do you rack out every round? Just drop the mag and take them out by hand if you need an unloaded mag.

>>31464606
Dry fire is fine with an unloaded weapon. You just have to actually make sure it's unloaded.

>>31463243
I was trained that when on a range or something like that after clearing your weapon it is acceptable to ensure it is empty in that manner.

>>31463586

>>31459231
I regret removing it though I did it because it almost cost me my life once in a firefight. Good thing kaffirs can't aim for shit. But I pulled the trigger because I was taught that in an AO once you have cleared the chamber it is ok to pull the trigger as a final check. Of course it helps if you clear the chamber.

No, I was cycling the ammo through the gun by hand to make sure I didn't get a fail to feed with the HP ammo. Apparently I must have got bored around the 12 or 13th round and decided it was cycling fine, so I just dropped the mag never thinking about the one left in the chamber.

Oh. I've actually done that too to see if new rounds cycle. Didn't ND but that makes sense. Just wait until you can try it at the range.

A while ago living in Commiefornia, my mom had went through to her armed security certifications to get her ccw. Once she got her pistol, some cheap hi-point, she brought me and my sister into her room to sjow us how to load, unload and fire thr weapon should we ever need to use it. Whem ot came time for us both to demonstrate what she showed us I, with out thinking, loaded a mag, racked the slide, disarmed the safety, fired a shot out the open window, re-engaged the safety and set the gun her desk. That was the last time she let me even see her firearm. I was like 16 at the time.

Good thing you got off okay. But seriously why would you even consider bringing anything illegal outside your house

>>31472496
it was one of those last second things that I regret. I had a shitty toy m4 in my trunk, but decided on bringing the real deal from the gun safe because why not?

needless to say I've since gotten rid of the thing and I don't even cosplay now.
