He should have just corrected you before you wasted your time loading them backwards instead of staring at you like an asshole.
I wouldn't worry about it, inexperience isn't stupidity. Just continue to enjoy shooting as best you can where you live and dream of wide open backyard ranges.

Don't worry about it, not the first time that sort of thing has happened, and you didn't endanger anyone.

>>34521223
Gotta learn somehow. Don't sweat it. Maybe bring a friend that's a little more experienced next time to help show you stuff.

>>34521223
It's not like you tired to fire or chamber a round. You just made a funny mistake. You need to laugh this kind of shit off. Ifyou have no self confidenece you can never expect others to have confidence in you.

>>34521347

this totally

now hopefully you will pay more attention at the gun range

before you really do something stupid and shoot yourself or somebody else

>>34521223
Eh, you made a mistake that didn't lead to anyone getting some part of a bullet lodged in their body or property. You're fine.
At least hopefully you won't make another retarded mistake like that again.

>>34521223
Buy a Saturday night special for like 50 bucks and bring your own gun.

who cares, you didn't ND or fuck anything up. Stop being a little bitch.

I'd rather rent something decent than shoot a pot-metal .25 ACP grenade.

>>34522758
Gee, thanks for the advice. I'll go down to my New York gun dealer and buy a nice pistol, and wait the 6 months for a pistol permit, and get a background check, and fingerprinted, and get a tattoo that says "CAUTION: I MAY KILL YOUR BABY" on my arm.

I loaded 40s into a 9mm magazine once. Nobody saw but still, couldn't even feel a difference until round 7.

>>34521223
still though, nowhere near this bad. If you're in NY maybe it isn't as bad.

its ok, bro, we all make mistakes. just practice that sort of thing at home! lol

Congratulations! Your application to Heckler & Koch has been approved. Your plane ticket will arrive within the week.

How the fuck do you manage to load a cartridge backwards and not think something looks off?

>>34523544
Not everyone has operated prenatally, and it's an easier mistake to make with straight-walled rebated rim cartridges like 9mm.

>>34523544
I really don't know how anyone who likes guns could. Only Lefty larpers and people who only know about guns from video games wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
>>34523584
Even with the tilt of the cartridge? Or even the way the bullet is facing when you put the mag in?
See >>34521347

>>34523615
To be fair, OP noticed that the mag was loaded backwards when he went to load it into his carbine.

Fucking idiot. Just do something else like drawing or do you need to be instructed on what end to use. No shit he just looked at you.

>>34523362
How the hell..? Did you bend the shit out of the lips?

>>34525032
no, they fit pretty well. it was a M&P9 magazine.

>>34521223
you're lucky, if the gun went off you would have shot yourself

Poor behaviour by the range officer. I always help newcomers at my range. We want more people shooting guns, not less.

Hey, at least you're not me.

Range guy was cool though and just said "Bad end downrange"

Best in the thread.

Seriously, OP, if you don't claim to be experienced in something people are going to expect you to make simple mistakes. It's not a big deal.

It's because of guys like you that Cuomo can get the laws he gets passed. KYS
