Theres some shooting range at Burke Mountain (if you know where that is) like 10 minutes from my house..
I've never been there, but whenever I go hiking or dirtbiking in the area I always hear gunshots..

Maybe its not a gun range, maybe they are shooting at you?LT.Victim wrote:

Most places here in Arizona have automatic weapons readily available for the range.
Yeah...GodFather wrote:
as for the OP, it might be harder to do that stuff in Canada, doesnt Canada have some bad ass gun laws?
you dont need training?DefCon-17 wrote:

really? cause up until now, every time i saw you post about firearms, it was some smart ass response.
so, you want to go to a range, with no concept of firearms safety and operation?
i dont envy the range master that has to deal with you.
A good shooting range will have classes/training of handling firearms. I recommend paying for a couple of classes.

happy days!
Shooting ranges here (Netherlands) mostly suck anyway... most of them are 25 meters max. If you're lucky and rich maybe you could find a 50 meter one. Even then, you'd have to start off by firing small caliber pistols for like a year before getting to the good stuff. This just isn't worth it, imo. Army lets me shoot automatic rifles at 300 meters, and I get paid to do so. Civilian range I gotta pay shitloads of money to shoot .22 pistols at 10 meters. Screw that.
EDIT: I love my job.

wait, you "plan on being a 3d weapon modeler"????!?DefCon-17 wrote:
Is there such a thing as a shooting range where civilians can go to fire some rounds off?
Since I plan on being a 3d weapon modeler, I'd like to personally know how guns work in general, how they shoot, and such.
I assume there are places like that in the US, but I think Canada is a lot more bitchy about firearms.
Anyone know?
So, you think you can make a living off of that? How many weapon modelers need there be?
Why not model anything, and call yourself a 3d modeler? Although you can purchase models online and find some free ones, and I am sure almost any weapon has been modeled already.
I am just not too sure where you are going with this?
Why model other things when you could be modelling guns...jamiet757 wrote:

Because you are not going to make any money doing it, nor will anyone likely use your models, so it is a waste of time.jord wrote:

There'll always be new games coming out, there isn't just one Ak47 model that all games use.jamiet757 wrote:

Ok but my point is, if he is going to be modeling for a game development company, he will model everything, not just weapons.jord wrote:

Yeah me and my rents go shooting all the time. There's plenty of ranges but i guess it matters on where you live. As for Canada i have no clue.DefCon-17 wrote:

I love how 1/4th of you attack me for no reason.
1. I don't see any smart-ass comments coming from me.
2. I'm sorry for not spelling everything out for you, Jamiet. I plan to "specialize" in weapon modeling and design. Happy?
3. Thank you to the people who actually try answering my question.
I'm all for training in the basic handling/safety in firearms. I play (non-outlaw) paintball, so I'm quite concerned myself about safety.
I just don't need to learn "the zen of shooting", or something like that.

(Those may be cops, but the weapons are rented from the gunclub, to civilians, for the range... I fired an M240, M249, M16 and AK47 there)
