My local range has the odd bullet hole in the roof over the firing lanes. While I wait for my barrel to cool down between strings, I like to gaze at the blue sky through those holes and imagine exactly how some dangerous idiot made them.

Take this how you will, but the majority of them appear to be .224" in diameter.

Depending on your state, a shooting range must call animal control if an animal is killed on site. You'd think the ROs would want to avoid the hassle.
>>
>>30394553
Fair enough.
>>30394555
Like I said, if they clear the weapon before hand and doing something with it that doesn't involve unsafe shit like pulling the trigger or putting a magazine in it, then it doesn't matter. I know a guy who cleans his rifle between every string while people change their targets.

It's also a waste of my time if I have to sit with my hands in my pockets for 15 minutes while Fucky McGee walks to the 300 yard line to change targets because the RO is so anal I can't reload my magazines while I wait.

Side note: I know a guy who put a nice long scar on his leg because he had a cocked .22 mag revolver stuck down the front of his pants while getting a lap dance at the local strip joint.
>>
>>30394608
>leg

I have a friend who is a paramedic in South Africa.
She gets an average of 3 calls a month from people shooting their testicles with .22 handguns due to placing them in their belts cocked.

Makes you suddenly wonder if there are people who really shouldn't have access to firearms.
>>
>>30394608
no i get it, the wait sucks sometimes, and if you point the gun up instead of down range you *should* be ok, but you never know when some dipshit will try and clear a jam themselves like

>>30394632
The only reason he hit his leg is because it had an 8" barrel so it went past his dick.
>>30394642
This is true and I can't really be mad at people for being safe, but sometimes it's annoying and unnecessary.

Then again, I never go to a public range if there are more than 2 other people on the firing line.

>>30394682
Him and I were friends in high school. I moved north, got married, had a kid, got a decent job.

He stayed in town, kept smoking weed, started growing and selling weed, and kept that shitty little revolver as his "protection" because he is retarded. He's white btw.

I heard about this happening about 4 years after we graduated from a mutual friend who keeps in touch with our old group better than I do.

It works great. Without one an AK normally recoils up and right. Orienting the brake down and left will make the up and right recoil even worse.

I stopped going there shortly after. Price gouging and shitty staff aside, their clientele is downright dangerous. If any of you poor bastards are in the area go in and look at the range... holes in the rear wall BEHIND THE FIRING LINE, in the floors, ceiling, walls, in the ballistic glass window that looks into the storefront, and one or two lanes are usually down since someone shot them

Still feel bad for the guy and for shooting while he wasn't wearing ear pro, but it was his choice.

There's an old guy at the Pit who wanders around and collects brass, he's nice enough and asks people before taking it, but he also doesn't wear ear pro half the time and I don't like shooting when he's around.

I don't understand these fucking people, correct me if I'm wrong as an ausfag who seldom handles pistols, but this has a fucking safety, no?

I just don't understand how half of this shit happens, even though safety is not perfect, who wouldn't flip it on to unload no matter how inexperienced?
>>
>>30395111
>witnessed
No one ever bothers to learn proper safety and manual of arms.
Ignorance of firearms and their operation is an epidemic(triggered).
>>
>>30395111
The dude did a lot of things wrong, nevermind the safety. First he had no idea how to properly unload a gun; you have to clear the magazine AND the chamber. Then he decided keeping his finger on the trigger was a good idea. Lastly he decided that, instead of keeping the gun pointed downrange, he would point it almost totally sideways at the guy in the stall next to him.

Generally at the range I rarely use manual safeties since firearms are either loaded and being used or unloaded with the actions open.

>I'm wrong as an ausfag who seldom handles pistols

FYI an "AR pistol" is just an AR-15 with a short barrel and no stock. It isn't actually a pistol, it's just called so because it fits a weird legal category since short-barreled rifles with stocks are heavily regulated in the US.
>>
>>30395140
Nah look, if it's his first time ever holding a firearm I could potentially forgive forgetting to rack that last bullet after removing the mag, but to not even use the safety toggle?
These things are made to be used by forest gump, and yet people who seem to be of average and above intelligence still seem to fuck themselves over?

Muzzle sweeping, NDing without serious malfunction, and negligent ammo storage should all be grounds for a madatory day long firearms safety course. Even in the "Shall not be infringed" states, not sure what you Yanks feel about that?
>>
I go to a small time private club, so everyone is usually very chill and knows how to not be retarded.

However me and some of the other members nearly shot this one guy who set up on the 300 yd benches and started sending rounds past us at the 100 yd line. Then got butthurt when we drew on him, saying that we had nothing to worry about since he was such a good shot.

On a side note, I learned that the sound of gunfire coming at you rather than away from you is fucking terrifying.

No offense taken, I'm not the one who wrote these retarded legal definitions.

>Why not just call it a pistol-class carbine or something similair?

Carbines by definition also have stocks. The government decided to throw these abominations in with all other pistols, which is fine by me as otherwise they'd be considered the same as short-barreled rifles.

Also, if you think that's retarded, you should see "pistol braces". Since you can't legally put a stock on an AR pistol we have these "braces" that are totally not stocks. Our government says they're legal so long as we promise not to shoulder them, because if we do that would be illegal. So yeah, the honor system is actually part of the gun laws here.

Honestly, that's what you get if you didn't explain some of the basics before you get on the range.

You sure you weren't putting 40 S&W in a 357 sig? Because those barrels are interchangeable on the same frame.

I saw a few get made here by dumb friends in Commiefornia. A friend of mine and I took some friends to a range to fire my AR and his AK. Short fucks kept going for head shots on the target. I noticed a few seconds before the RO runs into the range, "QUIT SHOOTING THE FUCKING CEILING" and I point out they're going for head shots and warn everyone anymore shots going over center mass and we're getting tossed.

You were safe cause .357 runs hotter than 9 so no boom boom.

My friends first time shooting a friends fathers 1st or second gen glock, cant remember but it was old with old barrel, he shot 5 or so rounds, but on the last one, we were shooting at dirt pretty close so we saw all shots hitting, he was shooting slowly on his last shot fired nothing hit so friends dad yells, STOP, he was right on the break of the trigger, but had a squib that was stuck halfway down the barrel, thank yeezy he was paying attention or his hand would have been fukd up

Local range has a rule that you're only allowed to fire Mosins single shot, I wasn't there to witness it but story goes like this:

>sticky bolt getting worse and worse

And that's why I can only shoot my Mosin single shot and my local range
>>
>>30399486
How does this even happen?
>>
I wasn't there when it happened, but there was a medic helicopter in the parking lot as I pulled in.

Some guy was shooting skeet and loaded his 12 gauge's magazine with a 20 gauge shell and a 12 gauge shell. The 20 gauge shell gets pushed up into the barrel by the action and he dry fires at the first pigeon. Not to miss a beat and thinking it was just dud shell, he then cycles the action to load the 12 gauge into the chamber. His shotgun is now a pipe-bomb and shreds his hand.

To be fair, that's a perfectly viable exercise. Reloads are one of the things people actually don't practice enough, and those targets are useful for having to think about what you're shooting instead of just mag dumping into pic related.

Using a middle finger for the mag release is weird though, and it depends on what "forever" is but taking a second or half between shots to make sure you hit isn't a bad thing.

I agree it's a valid exercise, but it's just the way they were doing it. They were at 20 yards and they were taking 3-5 seconds between shots. If they were just shooting for groups my tism wouldn't have been so triggered, but they were obviously training for a combat scenario, where putting rounds down range is more important than getting a decent grouping.

If they can't hit the target at 20 yards they need to worry about basic marksmanship, before trying to run drills.

And you can practice reloads at home just as easy on a range. The worst thing was it didn't look like they were trying to improve or learn at all. I even tried to help the guy and said, "hey when you reload, keep the weapon shouldered, and use your bolt release" then sure enough next time he ran the drill he did the same exact thing he'd been doing.

Sounds like they were either former infantry doing SRM or thought they were former infantry doing SRM.

I had a friend who was Army infantry and he did this exact same thing all the time, down to using the charging handle over the bolt release.

When was this? I haven't heard of whacky shit like that since they changed the rules to paper and clays only a few years ago. Last I heard all they've done is put up a gate and set shooting hours to 10am-6pm only.

That said, I've never actually felt in danger there, nor have I heard of anyone ever being injured, let alone killed. I would welcome an RO, though.
>>
>>30394211
Lol nice bait

>>30398396
FX's range is even worse than AI, holy fuck... their RO is a joke. He just sits there in his little chair, with his tacticool vest and pretend OPERATOR gear on, playing on his phone and not paying attention to anything. Last time I was there he took a break from not doing his job and started doing operator drills with an SBR, rapidly dumping entire mags while sidestepping, complete with the exaggerated 360 degree scan

What is it with asians and expensive tacticool bullshit?
>>
>>30399991
We were taught dropping the mag with the middle finger. The idea is if a target were to present itself while you were changing a not-quite-empty mag, then you had an extra quarter second to engage the bad guy with the round that is still in the chamber. That being said, our instructor prefaced that lesson with the phrase "I think it's yuppity bullshit, but I'm told I have to teach you this anyway" so there's that.

I don't know what's up with using the charging handle instead of the bolt release though.

The same reason rednecks jack up a truck until its an absolute nightmare to drive, then never take it mudding because "muh trucks too nice for dat"

Went to the range yesterday evening. I usually come here to gripe about the weekend RSOs that suck donkey dick, but it was all the bro-tier guys this time around. I was loading my 10/22 mag and shooting the shit with the one guy and somehow the topic of 'barrel rise/recoil with women' came up. I told him about this:

>be at the range with cousin and his friend
>friend brings girl he wants to give the ol' in out to
>whatever
>we walk her through all the weapons
>show her how to aim
>etc..
>insists on shouldering the rifles but after a few shots, migrating them to between her tits
>she does this while holding my rifle, so I jump in and correct her form
>let her start shooting again
>she finegals the stock to between her tits yet again
>somehow before i can get to her, she squeezes off a round and knocks one of the clips holding the target clean off the carrier
>MFW she hit something an inch long, 20m away with the rifle between her boobs

He laughed and told me about earlier in the day, when some chick came in with a .357mag revolver of sorts and put one through the bullseye of her target at about 15', then while recovering from the recoil, squeezed another off straight up, through the roof.

Fucking people.
>>
>>30397150
The possibility of ever getting a squib terrifies me. I've had more than I thought I'd ever have using shitty ammo through my SKS, but any time it happened the powder never burned completely and there wasn't enough force to cycle another round. With something lighter like a pistol, or had the gun actually cycled, I worry I wouldn't be observant enough to notice the diminished recoil or sound while in the middle of having fun at a range
>>
>>30397098
When I said the ceiling of the range, I meant the roofs over the shooting benches only, like an out door range.

For this to have happened, we are talking discharge with the rifle pointed above 60 degrees vertical.

depending on the range its a whiz then a pop. like vzzzbang

the wiz is the bullet, the pop is the shot, rifle bullets go faster than the speed of sound (at reasonable ranges) so by the time you hear it you are either shot or they missed. If you are in the mountains the echo sounds like thunder.

Trust me, you will figure out pretty quickly if someone is shooting at you.

Agreed on Wilshire's staff. They are nice as hell and will help you out anyway they can, but you gotta be really stupid to get kicked (Or try to shoot after you drink at their bar).

I've got both, and it just depends on what youre gonna be using it for. My .308 is mostly for mid size game; deer and gator mostly. My .338 is a bad ass range toy and long range/big game hunting. When I go out to Montana to hunt Elk, I bring out the 338. 338 is great for shit like Elk, Bear and Moose, but will no doubt put down anything smaller.

If you've got the money, I'd go for a bolt .338 since you can use that for a wider variety of game.

>>30405185
Money is an issue i guess. I really only want one rifle for fun and for red dawn situations. I like the m1a but going ham and getting a savage ass cartridge like 338 seams so tempting. Cant hunt deer with rifle where i live. All shotgun.
>>
>>30403102
Probably just being a dipshit and leaving your ammo sprawled around haphazardly. I know people who've done that, grabbed the wrong cartridge and lost their rifle for it.
>>
>>30405303
Then in your case I'd go for the .308. It's got a lot more available ammo, and would be more practical in a Red Dawn. 338 would definitely fuck any form of body armor, but .308 has more practicality. That, and .308 isn't 5 bucks a fucking round
>>
>>30395442
snorted beer through my nose at that last bit
>>
>>30405344
Ya no kidding. I figured an m1a would pump my nads. Maybe if i ran into money id get a 338 bolt action for the fun of shooting the round.
>>
>>30405373
Yeah man it is a fun round to shoot, but fuck is it expensive
>>
>>30405416
Not like i can say i even shoot my 9mm much. Might as well go ham and get a 111 like you kek. Shoot 20 rounds a couple times a year to keep my skills up. If shtf i can put a sapi plate through the wearer.
>>
>>30405435
Well hell man, if you get good enough, 338 will fuck anyones day up REAL quick. The exit wound will probably be the size of a fucking volleyball, and body armor isn't gonna do jack shit against it. So if you can hone that inner Whitefeather, you could do some serious damage
>>
>>30405416
When you go shoot you go through many rounds i mean you must make decent cash haha. Idfk where the ranges are around here that i could shoot at least 500 meters

Literally happened yesterday. Inclement weather is moving in at the outdoor range, so people are getting their last few rounds in. A bunch of old dudes are over at the other end of the rifle range and mostly have stopped shooting. Me and my buddy I'm teaching to shoot are at the left side.

Out of fucking nowhere, the one young guy in that other group starts WALKING INTO THE RANGE while firing his pistol, approaching his target without any warning or calling for a cease-fire. Fortunately, we noticed his idiocy pretty quickly and stopped firing.

Seriously, pretending to be all operator and walking into a live range to close with your target doesn't make you look cool. This isn't the police academy/SF training, cut that bullshit out.
>>
>>30399729
its pretty simple fail to notice theres a round in the chamber.
(just assume the bolt failed to pick one up etc)
work the bolt

I somehow managed to ND downrange into the dirt about 15 feet ahead of me by slam firing a RIA 1911 during remedial for a fail to feed. spooked the fuck out of me since i had finger off trigger and thats generally not something pistols do to my knowlege.

i looked left and right ackwardly to see if someone was about to whine me off the range but nobody noticed. never seen this on a pistol and i kinda stood there clearing the fuck out of it for a few seconds trying to see what the fuck might've happened.

common sense range rules had the barrel downrange at all times but it makes you real thankful you practice them when a completely unpredictable and basically impossible misfire occurs

Unrelated: anyone wanna buy a really nice RIA 1911? :^)

Why is this bad? Me and my dad go down to set up targets after the range is clear and then we walk back and shoot again. Sometimes there are guys still at the shooting part of the range but we let them know we are about to go down to set up targets. Did the guy just have his grand daughter point them out and still shoot while she was downrange?

Accidents happen and when you're a idiot they tend to cost you your life.

I nd'd once in the Army. In AIT when we had "weapons immersion" which for us meant slinging m4's on our way from the barracks to the SCIF. We had to keep one in the chamber so one morning as I was clearing it before class retard PFC me forgot to drop the mag. My battle said clear because it ejected a round when I charged it. In my defense it was a blank, into a clearing barrel.
>>
>>30409713

I was just asking why it's bad to send his granddaughter downrange to point out stuff as long as he's not shooting and is aware that she is downrange.

Or are you supposed to have everyone walk downrange together even though it's a 1 person job?

How much are you asking?
>>
>>30401423
Honestly, I had this same fear for a long time, then it happened to a buddy of mine at the range and the sound was so distinct I immediately knew what had happened and stopped him.

You know that noise when you smackone end of a pvc pipe with your palm? That thumping noise? That's exactly what it sounds like. And the weapon likely won't cycle, since there wasn't enough propellant to get the bullet out the barrel, so the gun will stop on you.
>>
>>30405080
If it's your first rifle, I'd say get the .308. For any given amount of money, you can get more ammo and more practice in with the .308. Once you can shoot well enough to hit shit beyond 1,000m, then start looking at the .338.

>>30404428

Not at a range, but once, my father was playing around with a new .22 pistol of mine a few days after I'd gotten it.
He was sitting on a chair diagonal to me while I was on a chair staring at the computer monitor.
Long story short, just as I turned to face him, he pulled the trigger for some reason without checking the chamber and it just barely missed hitting my left leg and went through the couch, into the wall and stopped in a stud. I could manage no more than a horrified stare at him.
Looked outside and saw a teen/early 20's couple who had been sitting on the stairs staring at me and slowly beginning to walk up the stairs while I said "Heh, s-sounded like a firework to me."
Him and I just went to go sit in the library for a few hours after that and said almost nothing about it.

It's a tiny private club, so there's just one rifle range with benches at 1,2, and 300 yd, slightly staggered.

So he was shooting at the same backstop we were, but just sending rounds about 10-15 ft to the left and past us.
