How would you rate your firearms knowledge?

Where's the "I dont know s**t" option :P

Though I have seen the AK47 in OFP so I guess I'll vote for intermediate :P

I'm intermediate, thanks to OFP! smile_o.gif

Indenify most guns and vehicles, that's pretty much it. I don't really know all the specs. Which is stronger? M16 or AK4? Or are they both pretty much equal, etc.

I know what most guns look like and I can tell the defference between an M16A2 and M16A4 from looking at it, and I know some stats.

I can identify most by looking at them. I know some stats such as calibers and weight. I could not, however tell you their shot-groupings at 400m. biggrin_o.gif

Yeah I voted Intermediate as I've read up on quite a bit of military affairs, and I've handled certain weapons (MILAN was my fave smile_o.gif ) but I wouldn't be able to tell you ranges, muzzle velocity and stopping power,etc of a randomly picked weapon smile_o.gif

Yep, intermediate here...had an interest in military and civ firearms since I was a kid...years of buying Gun magazines (Guns and Ammo, Special Weapons etc.), playing RPGs like Twilight 2000, and playing PC games like R6 series, DF series and OFP...I can identify most firearms (and ground vehicles, for that matter) at a glance...only the ultra-new stuff occasionally stumps me (FN2000 for example). wink_o.gif

i remember once on this forum a guy with a bigass collection of weapons, what was the link to his forum again?

that would be a link from one of Mister Frag's post. he basically had hundreds of rifles and an indoor range! wow_o.gif

for me, I can identify some of famous handguns, and some rifles but that's it. so guess that makes me a novice.

I´m also an intermediate like so many others here.

I have my knowledge from 12 Years of computergaming and i had the opportunity to hold an H&K MP 5 (i love it smile_o.gif ) and a Sig 229 (is it 229?) at Visitors Day in our local Police School. Unfortunately we had no camera with us mad_o.gif  Me standing there in a really big German BulletProofVest with my MP5 besides a bulletperforated car door would have been great as avatar  biggrin_o.gif

Obi Wahn @ Aug. 15 2003,12:39)]Why an MP5? Slightly larger, but in .223...

...SIG SG-552 Commando.  smile_o.gif

Hmm what a sweetie, i like really the ones from ToW Mod, but never seen one in rl sad_o.gif

Why MP5 ? Cause the German Police had only these when i visited and i was quite happy with it as it was my only chance to touch firearms since then smile_o.gif

Hehe...A great place to handle fire arms if you live in the UK is at county fairs ( biggrin_o.gif )...You know those events where farmers show off their prize winning pigs/sheep/cows/bulls and other farming and agriculture related things.Well the Army always have a stand there, and when I went there was a table where you could pick up an AK-74 with folding stock, GPMG, MILAN, SA-80, M-16 and they had this great stand where it's all dark inside, you lie down with an SA-80 and it's got like a laser designator or something on the end of the barrel. There's a big projected screen where you got soldiers running accross and a Hind flying around (real footage) and when you fire there's recoil and that, but it doesn't fire (and this is a pretty real seeming SA-80 I mean it's heavy and everything)...Lol was great biggrin_o.gif

I did crap cos I was only firing single shots rock.gif
