>>29893645
I wish I was still alive so I could shoot my grandsons AR15, that looks fun.
>>29893645
He'd probably say its nice to see his old guns being used. Don't know though since he passed away.
If he were alive he would probably dislike most of my black guns,as he had an appreciation for wood. He would probably be impressed with the way the tikka shoots. He may grumble about the synthetic, but he still appreciates precision.
>>29893645
>...
One died before I was born, the other one was dick and left my grandmother when my mom was like 4.
No regrets though, big families are overrated.
OP here
This thread is far more depressing than I thought it would be. Fuck me I guess.
>>29893645
They wouldn't think much about it
They're not really anti-gun but not into weapons either. They might think that it's cool how I have similar weapons to what they used in the military
>weeeeelllllll jeeeeeeezus christ
>what the hell do you have there?
>a what?
>oh, the hell you say
>bring me and your grandmother a beer
And it would keep going like that while I explained to him that both him and grandma are dead and my favorite gun is kraut space magic after he served in europe, all with him alternating responses:
>well jeeeeeeezus christ
and
>oh the hell you say
I'm taking the tractor back up to the house so I can take a shit. Please don't hit any livestock.
>>29893645
you're gruesome!
I mean you grew some
>>29893645
No fucking Idea. My grandpa was apparently at one point a super pro-gun adventurer who went around on wild safaris and shit.
Then my grandma happened, and by all accounts her views became his.
So I don't know if he'd beam proudly at me continuing the legacy of manhood the generation before me forgot, or if he'd have a liberal stroke from seeing a citizen exercise their second amendment rights.

>>29893645
I have no idea what my biological grandfathers would say. They were both in the army, and neither are still alive.
My step-grandfather however would probably say "When do I get a turn?" since he's the guy who gave me my first rifle (pic related).

Everybody in the family has said i take after one of my Grandfathers, but I never got to meet him.
>>29893645
I showed him mine, and he told me his story of the one time he fired a gun in his navy service during the Korean war.
"In training they started us out on a .22, and that was pretty fun. Then we shot a .30 caliber Garand. That one kicked a lot and I didn't like it."
He has some pretty bad rotator cuff issues now, but it looks like he had a weak shoulder all along.

My only living grandfather is a totally brainwashed liberal.
My grandpa and I got to shoot my AR once before he died. I was about 13 or 14 at the time. It's one of the best memories I have of him. He got me into guns and taught me to shoot. He was a USMC intelligence officer in Korea. Never saw combat but he was happy about it. When he died there was no will so all his stuff was just up for grabs for whoever wanted it. Unfortunately for me, my morbidly obese uncle took his service M1 and almost all his other guns that were supposed to go to me (It was a verbal agreement, nothing I could really do about it). All I got was a Ward's Hercules single shot 12 gauge and a 1905 Swedish Mauser missing a few parts. Now my uncle wants to sell grandpa's FUCKING SERVICE RIFLE for a custom tacticool AR.
>>29893645
"Holy shit, where did you get all those magazines!? *M1911A1*"
No really, My Grandad was a NRA "Master" shooter. He'd have shit at all the mags I have, just for the 1911. (30+)
>>29893645
>I wish I could have traded that thing for a Carbine. Still better than the poor guy who had to lug the BAR.
>Those 8mm rounds really hurt when they hit you.
>Oh, you're into guns?
>those are some fancy looking pieces you got there, anything older?
>no?
>oh
>oh
My granddad was in army intel in WW2, then became an antiques collector. After his death, most of his shit was sold off at auction. I'm sure he wouldn't of minded that much. It caught good prices, He was never that into shooting, and the money went towards taking care of his best girl. The only gun left is a 1905 trench gun that I'm trying to get from my aunt.
He'd only be disappointed because I have little in my collection with the capacity to gain value
I'm still salty because I will never get to even see his service pistol, if he had one.
>>29893645
hey, that looks fun.
mind if I shoot it? you can shoot my 357.
I have no idea what my grandpa would say since i never got to speak to him before he died.
"You kept it clean as the day I gave it to your father." I expect you to hand it down to whichever son you deem worthy, if both, acquire a second"
>>29893645
"The fuck are ya doin, ya little faggot? Ghet back to work in them fields afore I tan yer hide!"
Both of my grandfathers were total assholes and I'm glad that I never met them while they were alive.
>>29893645
>Wish I could have shot with you when I was healthy, Anon
Grandfather got throat cancer very early on in my life and never took me shooting. I got into guns secretly from my family since while they're not anti-gun, they're very fuddish. By the time I could own my own guns my Papa was sick with cancer again and passed away not long after.
I miss you Papa...
>>29893645
Seeing as this is /k/, I'm willing to bet that almost everyone who sees this is old enough for their grandpas to have passed away.
>>29893645
>haha remember when I was teaching you to shoot with that old red Ryder BB gun and you didn't understand how the sights worked?
>you finally got the concept after I taped a small pvc tube as a quick training scope!

Fuck I miss him.
>>29893645

>too bad it's not a gucci $$$$ handmade mauser
He liked ARs but once he retired from the Air Force, he bought some very expensive weapons.
After explaining the second gun I'll get is an sks or a garbage rod.
>why do you want that russky shit?
>>29893645
Both of my grandfathers died before I was born. The man I called my grandfather died was I was still a little kid.
He'd probably like it, though, apparently after he died they were taking guns out of the floorboards- literally. Still think one of his scumbag sons stole a couple of them to sell to feed his addiction.

He'd probably enjoy shooting with me. After all, his last act was pulling a trigger.
Wish you were here, dad sure misses you.

My grandfather was anti-gun
When I was shooting cans in the back yard, he said "let me see the air rifle"
He then shot the neighbors leaded glass window, then went home, leaving me holding the gun
All to teach me "guns are bad"
>why are you using a piece of plastic to defend yourself
>why do you need all of them fancy gadgets on the gun
>where's your bayonet
>you call that a bayonet
>am disappoint
>>29903362
Oh, and my maternal grandfather wasn't a draft dodging racist, unlike my paternal window shooting one.
Served as a SeaBee in the South Pacific during WWII. I have his tags, my brother has his uniform and SeaBee manual because he has more storage space. He'd probably be okay with guns, always bought us toy ones.
>>29893645
Realistically he wouldn't care, he didn't get heated up about anything ever. I think that's where I get my stupidly high levels of calmness from.
I guess I can say what my whole family thinks, but won't directly say to me:
>"Why do you waste your time with those old war guns?"
>"Those old war guns ain't meant to be accurate, they're just supposed to throw lead."
>"Show ________ that Swiss Mauser of yours."
>"That gun that had a pierced primer, you can't shoot it, cos it'll blow up."
>"What happened to what you said about getting a .243?"
My family are all fudds who think literally all my surplus rifles are Mausers, and my uncle was genuinely upset when he saw I bought a milsurp instead of a .243.
Dads side
>Hearing protection for .22? pfft, I shot thousands of 105mm shells without hearing protection and I'm fine.
Moms Side

Old people that are liberals make no sense to me.
Young people as liberals doesn't surprise me cos most young people are retards, but at least old folks usually have the experience to see that liberalism is retarded.

Probably hold my Garand, smile then sit back down. Real quiet like and just stare off into the horizon.
He never spoke much about the Korean war, or Vietnam. Never would have guessed he was military until the day he died.

My grandfather is dead. If he were alive he'd probably rib me a little about one of them being an AK since he served in the Fulda Gap to prevent AK-equipped commies from swarming in to West Germany, but it would be a good day overall.

>"Stop shooting like a handicapped child! Are you a handicapped child? Well tell me--DO YOU? Then fix your form!"
This was when my gramps took me shooting for the first time
Hopefully, mine would have said

also
>"MOVE the bolt, damnit! Don't fiddle the thing like a slackjawed faggot! Agh! You're holding the thing like a videogame controller--twiddling your thumbs isn't going to win any wars, son! MOVE THE DAMN BOLT."
He would correct my form.

Then relate it to God and talk to me about that for 2hours.
He was an engineer that found God and damn do I miss him.

Only missing one, the other is still ticking. My deceased grandfather served in Korea as a medic and we never talked about it or guns in general. My other grandfather loves guns and would want to try anything I was shooting.

Do it. I regret not getting more time spent with my grandfather. I spent a lot of time with him working for him, but not much time just hanging out shooting.

>Mom's Dad
Cool guy turned massive dickhead. He was army at some point, but then he left my grandma and poofed. Found out he stole my grandma's identity at one point.
I don't own any guns yet, so I don't think they would say too much outside of "Gitgud"
No clue about my dad's dad, he died when my dad was young so I know very little about him.
I was only 3 or 4 when my mom's dad died, but he was a WWII vet, a hunter (I have his Remington 760), and sort of a cop (he was legally a police officer but his actual job was guarding an oil refinery), so I think he was reasonably gun-friendly. I have a feeling he'd be pretty fuddy though.
