A real gun; not a pellet, bb or paintball one. I haven't. I know I'm in the minority, but I'm curious by how much.

I've been firing guns...real guns ever since I can remember...I had my first shotgun at the age of 9, and I've fired about every imaginable gun you can legally get your hands on...it's really not that big of a deal...I've never fired them at any humans, nor would I ever turn a weapon on another human...but I have killed my fair share of animals.

When I was working at UCLA...my friend there was an avid gun collector...we went out to the desert and shot AK47 semi-automatic, Baretta, Colt, Musket and a few others that dont come to mind. Kinda freaky but exciting at the same time

yes, .22 shooting cans at a friend's place, a Swedish assault rifle at an open house at an army base in Sweden (along with several pistols and a kick-a$$ crossbow). The power of the assault rifle was scary ... I'm not a big gun lover, but to do that really brought home the realities of what these things can do.

We used to get drunk and shoot empty bottles. I've fired a double-barrel shot gun, .357, .22, and a WW2 Wehrmacht handgun.
