rhino Posted September 17, 2003 Author Share Posted September 17, 2003 RhinoWatch my fingers type this... Never sexually harass a woman with a pistol. Hey! I'm just trying to help around here . . . I'm a helper! Isn't it obvious that motives are pure and honorable? Isn't there some kind of "Good Samaritan" law for range accidents? In my Louis Awerbuck classes, Louis talked to us about what to do if hot brass went down our shirts and that in some cases, he and the range help would assist you if they saw it. He went on to say, that if it dropped past your shirt and below the belt, you were on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 The interesting part of the "down-my-blouse" story is it WAS during a match and I never missed a beat! Sure left a little red burn mark, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 SiG Lady Bet you wear clothes that button at the top when you go to a match, now. Heck, I even got a hot one behind my glasses on a prone stage with my hat backwards...burned my eye lid... At least I could show off my battle scars...maybe I shouldn't go there... Hey, is that Rhino I hear putting some aloe vera lotion in his shooting bag, in case a female shooting companion needs "treatment"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I get inside-the-eyeglasses burns ALL the time. Heck, I even had brass go down my neck in mid-winter wearing a hefty full-coverage TURTLENECK sweater for cryin' out loud. So it almost doesn't matter WHAT I wear. Hot brass'll get me ANY time, it seems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted September 17, 2003 Author Share Posted September 17, 2003 Ask twix and BigDave about my brass burns! And they didn't see 'em until they were mostly healed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Couldn't we just ask YOU about your "brass burns"...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 Not until Shooter Girl gets more web space for the photos! I have a nice little scar on my forearm from a .40 case. On my chest I have an almost perfect .223-shaped scar, and on my neck/shoulder I have something that resembles the bite of a medium-sized predator, also caused by hot .223 brass. Second degree burns RULE! CHIX DIG SCARS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4444 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Uh,,,,a 45 case between the cheeks scars pretty good/bad depending on your point of view. I had a .223 burn my arm pretty good,,,,,but the worst physical injury I've suffered while shooting was a cracked nose...... Victim of a .300 Win Mag......got just a smidge close to the scope.....That was a fun gun to shoot indoors...WHOAA!!!! You could feel the rush.

Garfield Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 So it almost doesn't matter WHAT I wear. Hot brass'll get me ANY time, it seems! In that case it is better to wear less (like a bikini-top or so), so that the brass will fall free from your body Just my friendly advise. In that way I'm just as friendly and wanting-to-help as Rhino I guess Especially after the "Italian girls/looks" thread-drift somewhere else on this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 What's all this fuss about shooting garment (especially female)? I thought the Swedish Bikini Team already showed what the correct shooting garment is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h4444 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 No real blood GUSHING,,,,but the bridge of my nose was black/blue/green for a couple weeks and sneezing resulted in tears. Worst of all, I couldn't shoot for a few weeks......hurt too bad to wear shooting glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 h4444 I don't care about your nose, I want to hear about shooting a 300 INDOORS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 You want loud, try a Bren Gun under the house. We only wanted to fire three rounds to function test, but the muzzle got away from the bullet trap and it got real load, real fast. Most of the neighbours were less than pleased. But it was fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4444 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Tightloop, A .300 indoors is an experience of both mind and body!! First time I ever shot it on our local indoor range there was a guy with his two boys plinking some. The Dad was shooting a muzzleloader and the boys were plinking with a .22. The .22 sounded like faint cracks through the muffs. The muzzleloader was pretty load, but when I touched off the first round on the .300 WM it was quite the experience. Through my muffs I could hear one of the boys.... "WHOA!!!!,,,,,I COULD FEEL THAT ONE!!!!" It isn't nearly as bad behind the rifle as it is if you're off to a side. It is LOUD and the concussion is pretty significant. I was shooting some 180 grain Nosler BT's pushing about 3,000 fps. We were told the traps could handle upto 4,000 fps. Coolest thing I ever saw shot in there was a full auto HK MP5 with a silencer. There was a local class III holder holding a machine gun shoot. You could just about shoot the MP5 without hearing protection,,,,amazing how effective the silencer is. I shot an full auto M4,,,,,,.223 isn't normally too bad indoors, but 20 or 30 of them in exceptionally quick succession is a bit much to handle.

SiG Lady Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Some clown at the range one day stepped into the booth next to me and I thought nothing of it until he pulled the trigger on whatEVER the hell he was SHOOTING...! The booth appeared to be literally on fire* every time he fired off this gun (never did find out what he was shooting), my rib cage protested to the max, and literally every other shooter in the room was peeking out from behind their respective booth walls, holding their ear-muffs and making rude faces. Fortunately he didn't do this hand-cannon act for too terribly long. I think some of the other shooters were ready to ask him to leave. It was however, in retrospect, quite funny. We're still talking about it. *In fact, I thought it was until he continued firing unabated (and apparently unaffected) by the roaring blaze coming out the front of his firearm.

dajarrel Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Yes, even a lowly .38 super with a 17 port compensater and 12 hybrid holes in the barrel can be a treat indoors (just kidding about 17 and 12). We shoot a 4-5 stage match indoors every Tuesday and it is amazing to me how loud some of the open guns are. Plugs, muffs and both hands for the noise. You can usually survive it unless you are the RO. And my gosh, the fire that comes out of those comps!!!!!! Awesome!!!! I guess that is what you get when you put 11 grains of whatever fire-powder they use in a round. You know, just fill it up, and scrape off the top. add bullet and squeeze! (I guess you can probably tell I shoot limited!) Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 ...and they don't allow us to shoot magnum in our indoor leagues. Probably for good reason, no matter how entertaining to most of our shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Thomas Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Beyond any doubt, the loudest gun I've ever shot - if you can imagine this - was a Hybrid compensated .44 Magnum Desert Eagle. L-O-U-D. The only gun I've ever fired that recoiled down. And you got that really cool snowfall effect from the particle board ceiling every time you touched off a round.
