How many different calibres have you fired? And which one was the biggest one?

Posted on 11/17/2010 7:23:46 PM PST by darkside321

Just out of interesst. Since my main duty was to "sit" behind my 12,7 (cal.50). I was just interessted how many calibres the "standart" freeper has fired. For me it would be the cal.50, 22.lr, 9mm, 5,56 nato, 7,62 mm × 51, and the best "moment" of my life firing a 120 mm KE (APFSDS nato) from a leopard II tank ;-)

Ah jeezus, some of this stuff listed as "fired".........

I assumed standard "metallic cartridges" fired from a normal individual firing position, not sitting at some freaking console...

/Old farte rant off

But if dick measuring is going to go on, I also fired the M-79 40mm grenade, 3.5" bazooka, and the crowd pleasing M-something Flame Thrower!

Not aimed at you Thunder, just these listings of artillery and all as what was obviously a “personal” weapons fired thread kinda set me off................

We could jack his thread with that kind of kick in the memory cells. You must have played flame drop. Barrels of foo gas or napalm dropped from a slick or a big drop from a Chit Hook.

We used to light em with our rockets.

I'll split the credit with you.

This evening I did a smorgasbord of calibers and sidearms—with many silly Canadians in tow. They were kind of scared...but ended up really enjoying themselves. OMG did they jump when the souls next to us fired off a .50 cal. They were shell-shocked.
