I took my wife and son to the range today to give them both a chance to use the Glock 17 I got a couple of weeks ago.
My wife only did about 20 rounds but she did damn good with head shots, my son did about 50 rounds, his first time firing a gun, he will be 12 in december, he did surprisingly well, I told him to go for center mass so he didnt try for headshots, after he shot a few times I had him try pairs and he never missed the target, the spread was wide but they were all on the board, it was funny though, I think it was on his second shot that he was a bit high and shot the clip that holds the board to the pulley and he shot down the target
I did over 200 rounds, doing pairs and bursts and full clip dumps, the spread was wild on the full clip dumps but most of them hit the board.
After we were there for 30 minutes or so this guy came in with a couple of duffle bags and ammo cases and sets up in the lane next to us, he started off slow and whatever he was firing sounded similar to my Glock 9mm, maybe a bit louder, and you could feel the blast like a subwoofer when he was shooting.
Then he picked up the pace, range rules are 5 shot bursts for full auto and he was doing just that but there was only a split second pause between the 5 shot bursts, it was pretty awesome to see and hear, I dont even know why he bothered using targets because they were centered out after the first burst
After a while he switched to handguns with silencers, I noticed this right away cause it sounded exactly like it does in the movies, I dont know what guns they were, one looked like a Glock but with a metal body, the other might have been a desert eagle.
Things I learned at the firing range today............
I want an automatic weapon, and a silencer
The wife is good with headshots. :shocked:
My son has a good eye and wants to take up marksmanship :thumbsup:
