| Finally got out to shoot. It has been forever since I got to shoot for fun, so that's what I went out to the range to do today. Put about 94 rounds through the G36 and 18 through the DEagle.
Glock 36 Ammo: Fiocchi "Shooting Dynamics" 230 grain .45ACP FMJ Recoil: Sharp Muzzle climb: Assertive Accuracy: Minute of mugger Fun factor: Rapidly diminishes after the first mag
Eh, is Glock, is shoot. Dat trigger, doe. It's heavier than I remember my G20's being, which is apparently a thing with the G36. The trigger safety, which never was an issue before, wound up giving my trigger finger a blister. With my giant hands, it's also tougher to get a firm grip on it in proportion to the recoil. I found I was fighting my own flinch quite a bit as a result; at one point I was trying to concentrate on the front sight and realized it was vibrating. Recoil is delivered in a strong smack to the palm of your hand, amplified by the slimmer grip (the G36 is single-stack).
Mechanically it's accurate enough but it's short enough that the slightest deviation will send the bullet into la-la land. After I shifted my trigger finger to a less worn-out part of the pad, I wound up yanking the trigger and blasted a long-destroyed target frame to pieces. As it was about three feet lower than the close-range plate I was shooting at, I stared in disbelief for a minute, then figured that was enough Glock for today.
Desert Eagle Ammo: Parabellum Research 300 grain .50AE JHP Recoil: Firm push Muzzle climb: Solid booster Accuracy: Kerbal Space Program Fun factor: IT'S LIKE HOUSE OF THE DEAD ONLY LIKE A HUNDRED TIMES MORE AWESOME
By the time I started shooting the Desert Eagle, everyone else had moved over from the pistol range to the adjacent rifle range. Someone was doing rapid-fire drills with an AR, the pap-pap-pop of which quickly became drowned out because I'M SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF NEO GETTING MURDERED IN 303. I didn't shoot at the steel targets this time because I wasn't sure what they were rated for, and opted instead for a long- discarded target at the back of the range. I had brought Shoot-n-See targets of my own, but I didn't want to bother anyone to make the range cold. I AM AN INTROVERT.
Besides, I didn't get this Desert Eagle to compete, hunt, or defend myself. I bought it because REASONS.
Those reasons, as it turned out, include a GIANT MUZZLE FLASH in BROAD DAYLIGHT. They include HITTING MYSELF in the HEAD with LARGE BRASS. They include UNNECESSARY ACCURACY. They include CAPITAL LETTERS.
On at least two shots, I hit the piece of target and saw a big dust puff behind it at the bottom of the berm, and then saw another puff of dust on top of the berm. I don't know where those bullets went but I think I finally shut up the Space Core. The funny thing is that it doesn't kick very hard really, it but it REALLY wants to flip. Bad news: The slightest limp-wristing and it might not go back fully into battery, but I think it might just need some oil. We'll see.
EXPLOOOOOOOOOOOOSIOOOOOOOOOOOOONS

| "Minute of Angle" is a term for a certain amount of deviation. Like, if you shoot at a target at 100 meters and the shot is 1 inch away from the point of aim, its accuracy is one Minute of Angle, or 1MOA.
"Minute of _____" is now commonly misused to show you about how accurate something is as a tongue-in-cheek thing. "Minute of pie plate," "minute of bad guy," "minute of Buick," etc | |

He's actually been talking about painting one of them (the DEagle??) like a Torgue weapon. I approve of this decision. TORGUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE | |

SADLY, the United States is governed by a REPRESSIVE REGIME (since 1934) that considers exploding bullets DESTRUCTIVE DEVICES and DEMANDS a TAX STAMP PER BULLET! Each tax stamp is TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS, effectively raising the price of a FULLY-LOADED Desert Eagle by FOURTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. I DO NOT HAVE THAT MUCH CASH LYING AROUND! | |

| Or something; I'm beginning to think it's part of the military brainwashing they had to do to get him used to the idea of killing for money. | |

| They're sending him back to Ferguson. And I know for a fact that were it not for his commanding officers he'd be mowing people down. He enjoys the power trip. | |
