About Me

I'm a Welsh lad who has a strange interest in anything that'll fire a bullet. I stumbled across this site a year ago, and haven't left. I know more about the operation of firearms, firearms in media, and a lot of different firearm brands than I ever have done (at the beginning I only knew about Walther and Beretta). I have had experience with "real steel" firearms, such as a Glock 17 and 19, Sig Sauer P226, P225 and P228, a Browning Hi-Power, Heckler and Koch MP5A3, L85A2 (carbine, light support and underslung grenade variants), L96 rifle and the L129A1 sharpshooter rifle (based on the AR-15 platform, I believe). I've also had a bit of experience with shotguns made for hunting in France (recoil was a bitch). Before you ask, I have spent a lot of time operating these weapons through my service in the Territorial Army. In about a year or so's time, I hope to pursue a career within the British Army as a sniper. I would also like to get into airsoft, but do not have the money or contacts to do so at the moment, so maybe later in life. Gun ownership doesn't get much heavier in Europe than in the Land of Hope and Glory, which is rather unfortunate (its not hard to find a gun either in England, if you know what I mean) for me, as I would most love to own a 1911-type pistol, along with a Walther P99 and the Smith and Wesson Model 29, the "handcannon", wielded by Dirty Harry. Thanks to this site also, I am watching more TV shows and films I'd never even heard of (e.g. Burn Notice, 24, The Unit, No Country for Old Men, Se7en, to say the least). I hope one day to up sticks and move to the States, and hopefully be able to own a few weapons. I hope to become more actively involved in discussions on here, maybe even correct a few errors I see. Keep doing what you're doing, guys :)

Pistols

Walther P99 - Always loved the design of this gun - seemed to as the Audi equivalent of a handgun.

Colt M1911A1 - Over a century of use, attractive design, has well and truly proved itself as an excellent handgun.

Heckler and Koch USP Compact Tactical - Always fancied this gun since I saw it in xXx 2. 13 rounds of 9mm, packs a mighty punch in a short package.

Glock 17 - Around for 32 years now, adopted by various military and law enforcement agencies. Treat it right, and it'll see you through a shit storm.

Ruger P90 - Again, the design brings me too this gun. As Terry Crews once said, "good fuckin' gun"

IMI Desert Eagle - Would own one in .50AE, for the pure reason of the fact I would feel Godly with an Israeli-made handcannon in my humble hands.

Sig Sauer P226 - Swiss engineering at its finest - have used this gun in the TA, feels so right in the hands.

Sub-machine guns

Heckler and Koch MP5K-PDW - I am preferable to the stock on this weapon as opposed too the MP5.

Heckler and Koch MP5A3 - Reliable, classic and attractive too the eye.

IMI Micro Uzi - 100% Kosher spray and pray goodness. The Israel's know how to make a good machine pistol

FN P90 - Wanted something from Belgium, and didn't fancy waffles. Love the sci-fi look of this gun, and the unconventional design.

Brugger and Thomet MP9 - Back to Swizterland. Based on the Steyr TMP, but I like the modifications done too it

Shotguns

Mossberg 590 Cruiser - This gun looks simplistic, and I like that. 8 rounds of man-breaking power.

Remington 870 - Would be a backup for my 590. If there is one thing American's know how to make, its a good looking shotgun.

Benelli M4 - My "Italian Stallion". Fell in love with it ever since it was used in Miami Vice. Also used by the British Army.

Assault Rifles

Heckler and Koch G36C - The BMW of assault rifles - like its cousin, the USP Compact, packs a mighty punch in a mini package.

Bushmaster ACR - OK, I'll admit it, Call of Duty introduced me to this rifle, but I'd love too own one.

AK-74U - Russia's answer to a beautiful and built-to-last compact assault rife. Through mud, through water, through sand and shit, it'll get you there.

L85A2 - This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. Without my rifle I am nothing. Without me, my rifle is nothing. Customized with a SUSAT sight, H&K AG36-UGL and bayonet, I'm ready for war.

M4A1 - Other than an AK-47, one of the most well known and well recognized rifles in existence. The AR-15 design has proven itself over various wars and conflicts, from the M16 in Vietnam to the M4A1 in Afghanistan, handled from forces in Argentina to Yemen, it has proven its worth.

Rifles

Accuracy International Arctic Warfare - Civilian variant of the L118A1, it held the record for world's longest kill.

Walther WA2000 - Beautiful design, and I really like the thumbstock grip.

Mk 14 Mod 1 EBR - Really like the look of this rifle. Looks like something either American or British Special Forces would use.

Remington 700 - American made and classic bolt-action design.

So that's it for now! Drop me a mail or something if you want to get in touch.

Cheers,

Fixer.
