Guns don't kill people, peopl kill people...so if you're not confident in getting a good shot or with the gun itself, discard the bitch and go for an old fashioned bare knuckle killing, a simple knife on the neck works like a charm.

[retry_1]

if your gun is out of ammo and your adversary has a gun get the gun away from him before attacking

[AllStarZ]

Or how about run? That's a better idea.

If I were to throw a gun, and it got stuck in someone's brain, then that gun killed someone

That reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw at this Marine Corps store I was at:

Marine Sniper: You can run, but you die tired.

@ Thierry: Lol

If your going to fire an RPG don't be stupid and put your eye right up against the scope, unless you want to give yourself a blackeye.

I just came up with that one.

[TehKiller]

Huh? I dont recall anyone sticking the eye up the scope of any weapon

Always use both of your hands if wielding a single pistol (or a compact SMG....like an Uzi)because you will be more accurate and your handgun wont recoil much
When firing from a LMG always make sure that you have placed it in a good spot (like on a small wall or on the ground) and always hold a hand on it so that you know when its heating up

[Axel of Sweden]

Try not to chew on the stock

[Razven]

When firing revolvers and double barreled/hunting shotguns.

Adopt a correct firing stance and practise it before you go shooting. The last thing you want is a wild blast of buckshot, a broken rib and you falling over. Recoil exists.

I know, I'm 16. I don't have a gun licence and I probably have the least experience with firearms here. But shotgun recoils HURT.

That's a very very stupid idea.

[Whitey]

When you are a gangster in Chicago and you are in doubt, turn the gun 90 degrees to the left or right depending on which hand you are firing with...

Oh and recoil only hurts if you are firing the gun wrong or are a lil' weakling.

Most semi-autos and autos in modern rifles have some sort of blow-back system (is that the correct terminology? Correct me if I'm wrong) that utilizes the recoil (gas) to load the next round in. Double Barrel Shot Guns and Resolvers do not. You're taking on the full force of the round exiting the barrel with your shoulders.

Do you, sir, take me for a fool?

[Razven]

No Sir, I take you as a er...Solo Wing?

Anyway, my father's a cop in Hong Kong and since some macabre law and study indicates. Hong Kong police should not use semi-automatics. So basically, except for the border guard and SWAT team. Every police man is required to train with a revolver and shotgun. His colleagues come back after every firearm training day with either a badly bruised shoulder or some guy's broken his ribs since he fired his weapon before he got steady it.

[Whitey]

Well obviously, but that ain't after one or two shots. It shouldn't be too bad to take the shock to the shoulder, as the human shoulder can withstand a good deal of pressure.

At the people who break their ribs, well, uh... that's jsut bad.

Not necesary....it is stupid when u dont have something to protect your hands with and its stupid on some Machinge Guns (though on a RPK its a bit of a better idea).

Also i meant on top of it not on the side

I'm talking about continuous firing, closer to firing a entire box of shells for the duration.

[Commander Abs]

- Aim for the center of mass of your target (if you dont care whether it lives or dies). Best chances to hit that way (for a person, it's the chest).

- Learn to control your breathing. If your shooting from a fixed position using a sight, breathe in, note the sight position, close your eyes, breathe out, open again. If your position is strong and you're breathing right, you'll be sighted on the same spot.

- NEVER, not even with an unloaded weapon which you know is unloaded, point a gun at a person you don't intend to hurt or kill. It's very bad juju, forms bad habits, and you'll hurt someone one day if you do.

So what happens if the gun was a trap gun?

[Eddy01741]

Also... what if you trip on a gun (like a banana peel) and then fall on a sharp edge, then the gun killed you lol (although you oculd say whoever was foolish enough to leave it there kileld you lol).

If the gun doesn't have a heatshield on the barrel, then don't put your hand on it.

[TehKiller]

OFC nobody is that dumb to put a hand on an area without a heatshield....unless they want to burn up their hand

do NOT put your eye to close to the scope of a sniper rifle, if you don´t wanna lose an eye...

Not always, not everybody shoots high caliber rifles and crapshoot guns like SVDs.

Also, eh, to TehKiller, I'm talking about like a pistol, anybody who grips a gun so far out to the barrel would be stupid, and this applies to newbies who don't know how to hold a gun, or reload it etc.

[Strategia]

When shooting at a Soviet gunship, aim for the windshield. Its hull is plated with steel, but the windshield is made out of glass

When someone with a grenade launcher/RPG/bazooka/rocket launcher/any similar weapon is shooting at you, or anywhere near you, DO NOT RETURN FIRE. RUN LIKE HELL. Also, you will NOT be safe behind brick walls or anything similar, and I'd even mistrust vertical concrete slabs of less than an inch or two thick if I were you.

When firing a tube-launched missile (e.g. bazooka, Panzerschreck, etc.) first check if there is anyone behind you. If there is, the fireball will incinerate the poor bastard. Also, check that you are not too close to a wall of any kind; the fireball will expand in every direction possible, e.g. including forwards when it encounters the wall. It won't be pretty.

When firing machine guns of any kind, DO NOT think you're Rambo and fire them while carrying them. You will break your shoulder. Put them down on the ground on a bipod or other mount before firing.

When you pick a weapon up off some guy's dead body, first check the magazine. You don't want to look up and see a bunch of people intent on killing you running towards you and then find that the guy died because his clip was empty.

When the other guys got flamethrowers, stay the fuck away from narrow corridors. The flame will propagate like, well, like wildfire and you won't be able to outrun the fireball. Also, don't try to run through the flames to rescue someone or escape unless it is the only way. If it would just be wood burning, like in a house fire, you might suffer heavy burns and survive. If it's due to a flamethrower weapon of any kind, the napalm will stick to you and you'll be burnt to a golden brown crisp.

Do not run around the desert wearing woodland camo.

Do not run around in the woodlands wearing desert camo.

Unless you're a really good animal impersonator, don't try and make animal noises to communicate. One of these things might happen;
A.) The other guys immediately recognise your voice as human and will start spray-and-praying in the general direction it came from (or they will start to comb the place), or
B.) Your friend(s) may hear the sound of a real animal and assume it was you, or
C.) The other guys are actually smart enough to know that the animal you're impersonating doesn't live in the area (e.g. don't make mountain lion noises in New York) and will start spray-and-praying/combing the area.

[Eddy01741]

Lol, nice Strategia, you love the word Fireball, eh? (i'm not being sarcastic, I had a good laugh reading your post).

I guess I'm doubting you a bit, but were russian attack helis/gunships reallly still using glass on their cockpits? (Like not bulletproof or anything).
