Usual 7.62 amd 9mm military kit back in the day, when I was in my unit shooting team. Plus 84mm 'Charley G'. Now that's my idea of a
hand gun.
.357, .44 and .45 and 12 bore socially, plus a bit of .22 rifle. Had an old BSA International, that shot well though, it would still keyhole with a
rest.
Now thinking about pistol again. You can still shoot pistol as long as it has a 12" barrel. 
I see Mr. Thomson is also a fan of the Atchison assault shotgun.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make

That's one heck of a shot!
Did a bit of larking around with air rifles when I was younger...

A few 12 bores in me time.. rabbits and pigeons, match boxes on fence posts etc....
A 8 shot pump action thing that was very arny before Ryan went nuts. Great for one handed off the hip action.. probably why they were banned!
A Baikal side by side that was vicious! Cut fingers, on your arse etc..
And a beautiful old single barrel goose gun where the name escapes me...
Considering something else now to stop them damn pigeons eating me cabbages!
Can I get .22 without a licence still??

Anyone seen the film Shooter?
It's meant to be relatively realistic... is it? By which I mean the shooting side of it is meant to be based in some for of factual reality.
The rest of it is of course Hollywood-ised bunkum but I love it none the same!
Cheers,
James
ETA: Alternatively have anyone read Sniper One? Written by a sniper with the British Army who was out in Iraq during the invasion and beyond.
Excellent book!

Nah, "shoot 'em up" is the best shooty film evar! I's awesome.
Really want a lee-enfield. To be fair if I had the money I'd probably collect WW1/2 stuff. Churchill VIII in the back garden anyone?
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

Hi James, I've watched the film twice in the last 6 months. I really like it!
Is the book any good or is it basically 400 pages of "today I went to the toilet without moving from my position and watched armoured
divisions/air support take out all my targets"?

Nah, loads of action in it. Which is kind of the point- they were expecting a quiet deployment and were under seige for weeks.
In an interesting example of life imitating art, imitating life there's a scene which the author describes as being 'like the street
shooting bank robbery scene in Heat'. Having watched the DVD extras in Heat, I know that it was done in such a way as to be realistic with
consultancy from Andy McNab to make sure it was accurate!
Well worth reading!
I especially like the bit when the Special Forces guy turns up on base in the middle of the seige to help them out... and brings a Barrett 50cal with
him!
Cheers,
James
