Hey Chris, did you ever shoot a cow?

These images should be saved and documented.




Just in case.

You look a lot different without facial hair. And it looks like you had yourself a lot of fun.

Holy Crap, if you ever somehow ended up hunting after me, I'd run in the oppiste direction until I learn the art of catching bullets with my bare hands.

But what about the cows?

I work at McDonalds. So I sort of kill cows, indirectly, by suggestive-selling Double Cheeseburgers.

There's beef in McDonald's patties? Sure doesn't taste like it.

Anyway, you should shoot a cow. I just think it'd be fun. I would like to set one on fire, myself.

Roll 'em up, Katamari style.

I wouldn't know. When I take my breaks I eat at Subway.

Good man. Pretty good aim too, good show!

I've been wondering, how much does a trip to the range like that cost in terms of ammo prices and such?

Seventy-eight dollars included the rental of the three weapons, 150 rounds of 9-millimeter ammunition (two 100-round boxes that I emptied using the Beretta and two pre-loaded magazines for the Uzi, 25 each), five shotgun shells, five targets (one of which I didn't use), the entrance fee, and the rental of eye and ear protection. We did get a military discount because my dad is in the service and they ended up waiving the rental fee for the handgun and the shotgun because we also rented the Uzi. The make most of their money on ammunition sales since you are not allowed to shoot ammo purchased off-site.

Oh yeah and the day kicked ass. It was my first time shooting, but by the end of the day, I was shooting about just as good as my dad did with the Beretta and due to my extensive lol-internets knowledge I pretty much understood exactly what I was doing despite the fact that this was the first time I had ever fired any real guns.

I'm planning on going back again before school starts, perhaps to try out a pump gun, or maybe just laze some targets with a .22 carbine, because the ammo is about one-third the cost of the 9-millimeter. Anyway I'm hanging up the man target in my room for the enjoyment of my sure-to-be-liberal James Madison College roommate.



These are my first five shots with the Beretta. As you can see two of them didn't even hit the paper. Within a few minutes I made every shot hit the paper and thirteen out of the ninety-five I shot hit the bulls-eye.

You get to take the targets home after you've shot them up?

Psssst...it's a cow. Cut in half. On fire.

Yep. You pay for 'em, so they're yours.

That's cool. You can use it on a resume.

...wow. How can you study guns in such detail and not play with them?

I wonder the same thing about gynecologists.

Guns have only been a hobby of mine for about two years. To reiterate the story:

I played Halo. I liked Halo. I bought Halo. I played Halo. I really really liked Halo. I read through the Halo manual. I liked how the weapon descriptions were all technical. I was (and still am) under the delusion that I could (can) write my own sci-fi story involving futuristic combat. I researched guns on the Internet so I could learn more about how they really worked. As I did some basic ground work I became more interested in the subject for its own sake. Like many things that I become interested in, I became obsessed and continued to study the subject beyond its usefulness in any potential story. This summer presented an oppurtunity to finally realize my interest. I took advantage of it.

Wow. Your fascination with guns is identical to that of mine with Sonic, except that I had actually played a Sonic game before beginning research.

See, if this were real life, a zombie would be chewing on your family by now.

Sounds like fun. Guns are illegal here, though. There's a golf range near me; I'm sure they're sorta similar.

No see, this was real life, where zombies don't exist. And now I can definitively say you are an idiot. The submachine gun, even on full auto or in bursts was infinitly more accurate then the pistol. And since they both fired 9-millimeter ammo and the sub was throwing them out of a longer barrel there was more stopping power per shot. GTFO and such you n000b.

Really, Dunjohn. Stop being such a cock jockey.

Also, post 2112. It's significant for me.

Don't you see? DON'T YOU SEE??!!!!

The Internets and Video Games is training Children in the methods of killing! We must destroy both now, before the children kill us all!!!
