| Optio | Post; Oh no! Not another Aussie! Hide!Heyyy people, Right, first off i have no military experience except from stories told to me about my grandfather's time as a combat engineer during WW2. (But that's not experience at all is it, d'uh) I DO however have 17 years martial arts experience, live on a farm, love firearms/knives/swords/things-that-go-bang-boom-crash and ABSOLUTELY ADORE anything military. I spend hours in army surplus stores just staring at scratched old 30Cal ammo boxes. Just yesterday i was in my local store and bought myself a "Rambo" style survival knife. Urgh what a horrible movie. Damn good book though! Instead of going into the army as a Combat Engineer like my Pop, i chose at the last minute to go to university and now have a Degree in Humanities, double majoring in English and History. Because of my un-armed combat training i decided it was time i concentrated more on firearms (legally of course, with a licence and a sporting permit). I've been around farms and rifles all of my life and i know how to use Stirling .22, Magnum .222, Hornet and 12 Gauge Shotguns - but mainly just your smaller calibre bolt action rifles. I have a good deal of experience with simple weapons like knives, throwing knives, and improvised weapons too... I look forward to chatting to you all. Rich. |
