To fire a modelgun

Don't know how is it feels like to fire a modelgun. I will never do that to my modelgun and it is impossible to import those caps anyway. Caps are considered as explosive material and very strict regulations governing that just as fireworks, firecrackers, explosive etc etc.

Wonder how's feels like firing one of the modelgun. I have seen lots of video but had never experienced it myself. But judging from the video their recoil will definitely far less than firing the real deal. Afterall they are just toy gun I supposed.

I have fired real pistol here feels great at one stage I even got close to joining a local gun club. Here it is easier to obtain a REAL Glock 17 than a replica modelgun G17. As long as you have got the $$$. But with $$$ you can't even find a G17 modelgun here.

One thing I don't like to own a REAL G17 is that you have to shoot to schedule. Since I am not really into shooting just handling so I always wanted a modelgun get you to as close as the real thing without endanger the life of myself or others. Since police won't allow importation of replica sounds like they are encourage people to owning real firearms. Which has got no common sense.

This is a hard one to describe and every modelgun recoil differently and also makes a different sound.

The 45's make a godd crack sound when they fire, something like a 22 short and the slide comes back very hars and fast its a very crisp action.

Some of the 9mm are similar in sound maybe but not as loud and the slide comes back a little less violently.

The machinguns usually fire very fast and so make a good sound but again depending on the model and cartridege used depends on how loud.

The plastic mavhine guns have not recoil but the metal ones do, nothing like a real gun but they still move in your hand and look good.

There is no violent recoil on any of the guns but as i say every model fires and sounds different which is another reason to collect so many. The MGC S&W 459 is very loud for a small gun.

Dont know if this helps but it is not easy describing how a gun performs

I don't know if you looked at my MGC/Colt Combat Commander video or not (on my website) but, it will give you an idea of what the recoil/sound diference is like...The MGC felt like a .22 calibre pistol with very little recoil and sound..

But, like claymore states, it's hard to describe their sound/recoil and they certainally vary due to the modelgun and their materials that they are made from.

I haven't fired my modelguns very much, to be honest i like'em mostly for the realism and gadget factor

My shooting needs i get satisfied by firing real guns

But of course i understand that you're curious, it is a shame that you aren't allowed to import the caps.
Another law that makes you wondering what they are thinking about?

If you go on vacation somewhere away from Australia then maybe you could try to find a place to testfire some modelguns?

I've been to the US 2 times and i spent quite a lot of money on various gun ranges

I always find that people with interests such as ours, tend to be much more inviting than people who like things, like, say, computer games. People always want to show off the collection that they have, be it small or large, rare or fairly common. They are usually very happy to meet people who share the interest, and are very receptive to see other people who enjoy seeing the guns that they have amassed. If you are going on holiday anywhere, then see if there is someone who lives near to where you are staying, and see if you can arrange to go and have a play. You would be surprised how many people are more than happy to accomodate you with things like this, I have had no end of offers from America ever scince we lost our fight to retain real guns here in the U.K. If ever I go there (not been yet but I intend to) then there are a few people who I will be going to the ranges with to appreciate firing their pride and joy, and I am very much looking forward to it! Although in a way it is a shame to fire a gun, to spoil it from being new, there is also a shame in not doing so, as that is what you are supposed to do with it, and one of the best bits is the smell! (especially with the real steel)

Half the fun is cleaning the gun after you've fired it, getting it back to that "pristine" condition that you can be proud of agian. heh.
