Im thinking of buying a rifle in the next few months but I have no experience shooting rifles, so I don't really know what's a good rifle to get. I live in australia so it cannot be semi automatic, and I'd be using it for indoor target shooting at roughly 50 meters. My first thought was to...

I'm sure I initiated this thread earlier, but I think something went wrong and it never got out, so I'm just gonna make a new one :) Anyone who knows a thing or two about any rifled firearm knows about the lands and groove in the rifling. We all know that calibers are confusing. Is .30 cal...

Hi all I'm on my way to getting my pistol license (at long bloody last), and I was studying for safety and what not. I came across this picture of a target, and it was labelled "Target Analysis Guide". The concept is pretty straight forward. The target is divided into arcs to show why you...

I have recently registered to become a member of the Sport Shooters Assosiation of Australian (SSAA), which is the first step to legally becoming a shooter in Australia. The Assossiation sends letters and gun magazines (books, not clips ;)) to their members. Lots of it is just junk mail, but...

Hey all. I'm eventually getting into target shooting (and one day clay target shooting), and I was thinking about what gun I'd want but can't decide...but I have a lot of time to think about it. I was thinking a handgun with good accuracy, good ergonomics and low recoil would be a nice...

Hey all. I have a question for anyone who has ever fired an AK and AR-type gun, or for any who'd know the answer. I've heard that AR15-type guns are more accurate than any AK. I don't have either gun but I was just curious...why are AR's more accurate than AK's?

I want to take up shooting, and my parents respect that and support me. The problem is that they're very anti-gun. It's an Aussie thing in general to be a little anti-gun, but they are very narrow-minded and I can't convince them that keeping a guns in the house is NOT DANGEROUS. They just...

What do the FAMAS iron sights look like? Anyone got info on the sight picture, where the sights are and adjustment knobs for the sights? I don't have one, but I was just curious

Hey all I play a lot of computer games, which is where I get the names of guns so I can look them up and research them in my own time. I got a game which is set in the 60's, with some old guns and one of these is the MK22 pistol. I can't find very much info on this gun. Wikipedia has let...

Hi everyone. I don't own any guns yet, nor have I actually fired a rifle before (I do handguns), but I was just curious in case I ever came across one...hehe! Was thinking about how you need to adjust the sights of a gun to accomodate for a particular range. I know that on the M16/M4...

Hi everyone. Was thinking about how you need to adjust the sights of a gun to accomodate for a particular range. I know that on the M16/M4 rifles and the other AR15-type guns that the wider apeture is for targets between 0 and 200 meters, and the tiny apeture is for targets out past 200...
