Family time with weapons

[Bustanut joker]

So finally the weather and family co-operated so it was time to empty some brass..

Sheila on the newly built AR 15... Running .223 today

Whoops! lessons before the shot.

My youngest having his go..

Sheila cutting loose with the .45.

Notice the spent casing in the air on both?... Yeah I'm fuking awesome with my 20 dollar garage sale colorpix. https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/****.gif

The now off duty Marine and his home built AR..

Our host Ryan kneeling, and buddy Jimmy, wondering if it was such a good idea inviting me..

Today's choice of playthings.. Minus the .44 and .460... I put 10 through the .44 and just needed 1 through the .460. to convince me I have no *****.

Great day wrecking **** for sure.. I think the empty brass was near 5 pounds.

Lotta guns to clean tonight. But you're posting pics. Hmmmmm . . .

Lemme guess - spouse and offspring are elbow deep in Hoppe's No.9 right now?

Some families go to Disneyland together.

Screw that. Expending 5 lbs of brass sounds much more fun.

Looks like no eye protection in pic #3.

45 years and to this day no eye cover. I figure if it's gonna stove pipe the miniscule protection glass or lexan might provide ain't worth it.

Hearing protection is mandatory though.

 

[bluesdog]

Yeah, you're right about flimsy lens vs rapidly approaching metal fragments.

I learned to shoot on revolvers, which I believe have more chance of debris coming out every which way and zeroing in on my eyes. Stopping a rearward explosive malfunction would likely need something more robust than lexan.

Still, I like to wear safety eyewear, if only for the reassuring illusion of protection. I'm a wuss.

Range plugs for sure. Even the .22 gets hard on the ears after a few rounds. I imagine that .460 makes an authoritative pop!

That's a fine assortment of "playthings" you have there Bust!

 

[mr.paul]

Quick word about eye protection...

I have been hit by flying brass in the safety glasses twice. Both times it was from the people shooting near me, not my own weapon. Glad I didn't have to deal with a scratched or worse eyeball from something I would have never seen coming. Eye protection is a must.

A good day indeed. Just rebuild your ammo supply.

 

[steveoreno]

Nice pics, anyone else having problems finding 380 in fmj?

 

[Geezer]

Very nice day at the range. Nice collection of guns there as well. I see the price of ammunition is coming down and people can afford to spend some time shooting.

It's a nit, but as a shooting sports instructor, I never use the word 'weapon' unless I am talking about something that is actually used as a weapon. What you have there are firearms or guns. I know the military calls a gun a weapon, but that's because they are intended to be used as weapons in the military.

The family that shoots together, stayz together! (Luv the .45 shots w/ spent brass fly'in through the air.

)

Family firearms day brings tears to my eyes, maybe next week for me.

Great Day at the range !!

Thanks for the photo shoot Barry, looks like a wonderful fun time with the Family. At least you didn't have to worry about shooting your **** or balls off, since you don't have them! JSNS, ya *******!

 

[Bearly Flying]

I can understand Sheila shooting at You, but the Kids too?

And they all missed......WTF They need more practise.

 

[HotRodZilla]

That looks like fun. Glad you got out with the boys and wife.

Wear eye protection *******. Most stuff that'll put your eye out isn't very big or moving very fast. Even cheap glasses can stop most, but eyes are soft and delicate, kind of like ************.

AJ, I fixed it for you ese! JSNS, de nada!

So are you gonna ask him if he wears a cup while shooting? Or why? Lord knows where that might lead, but be prepared for an answer to take a while as he grows nostalgic for a special ewe and has to go out back to remember her properly.
