yeah, i'm not a total gun nut, i'm selective about what i buy and own and shoot. we are on about 300 acres here so there's LOTS of land to go shooting on. nothing feels better than sinking a bullseye from a long distance. i am by no means a marksman but i can hit golf-ball sized targets from 50 metres with my AK. i can hit quarter-sized targets from 50 metres with my Marlin Model 60 and 25MN. the Nagant M44 is anothe story altogether. that's a brute! i am still sharpening my proficiency.
some people like the satisfaction of sinking a hole in one. others like 3-pointers. others like field goals. i like taking a careful shot and getting a bullseye on a paper target or a piece of metal i have sitting around.
machine guns are cool, but damn are they expensive! i've mowen through 76-round drums from my AK and that was pretty fun but 40 seconds later you're out about $5. with rapid fire you can spend money like it's water. if i had the cash, and could buy class 3/NFA stuff, i think i'd still keep it cheap and get soemthing like a sten or Uzi where ammo is dirt cheap.
