BLAM BLAM BLAM! I went to the shooting range for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was quite fun. Five of us went and we rented two USP 9mm handguns. Each magazine holds 10 rounds. What surprised me the most about shooting a gun is how incredibly loud it is, even with acoustic earmuffs on. Actually it's not too bad when you're the one firing a gun, because you know when the gun is going to go off. The recoil isn't too bad either. The recoil looks stronger when you watch someone else shoot, but again it's not too bad when you're the one firing.I admit I was pretty nervous going in. Would I make it back out alive? Would I receive multiple gunshot wounds? But actually I found the whole event to be pretty safe. Load the gun only just before you fire it and make sure the safety is on when you're not shooting. Use common sense and don't be stupid and you'll be fine. Each of us shot four clips of ten rounds. Naturally, I found shooting the first clip to be the most exhilarating, because I was thinking, "Wow, this is awesome!!!! TO THE MAX!!!" And interestingly, I did the best on my first clip. Hit the bullseye once and my shots were decently clustered around the middle. However, as I went through more clips, my shots seemed to hit lower and lower. My shots were still fairly clustered together, so I was fairly precise, but my accuracy seemed to get worse. Maybe it was a case of overthinking that led my shots being more off. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and overall it cost each of us 20 bucks for renting two guns, using two lanes, and using 40 rounds of bullets each.

we should go more often in prepartion for when the zombies invade. Remember in dawn of the dead when the pathetic journalist guy couldn't hit the zombie and then the army guy gone awol had to do it? We can't be like that pathetic journalist guy. Bullets will no longer be made at that point cuz the bullet factory people will all be zombies more interested in eating our flesh than making the bullets needed to protect ourselves from their hunger. Also, i think it is inappropriate that totoro should be associated with a gun.
maybe we should also learn how to sword fight so we can slice off zombie heads without wasting bullets.
totoro says you should watch your back.
