Air Pistol Session

I was so late and according to Lewis, everyone had been waiting for me. And my Superstar entrance has been reciprocated with a lot sShhhh.... Like WOT-EF-AH! But all in all, this whole event was refreshing for me. The pistol that they issued to us uses compressed air and the pellets that were to be used are so, so tiny. Surprisingly, there were a lot of chaboh in this event and we, the firefighters were actually the minority. We were seperated into 2 groups and the female group were selected to go first. While waiting, we were busy chatting, commenting on how the girls were doing it all wrong, laughing, gossipping, creating a ruckus... oh riduan wanted to drag 5 plastic chairs which were attached by cable tie across the room; right under the sign which read,

"Silence Please. Shooting in Progress".

And then it was our turn... jeng jeng jeng.







I've fired a .22 before back in my NPCC days. And i've fired an M16 too back in the Army. And i thought to myself, "This is gonna be easy...". That was what WE thought; and WE were so wrong. First up, they didnt allow us to use both hands. Next, 10m seem very near, but this distance is substantial enough to kero-kan my eyes given the size of the target that we were to aim at. And the pistol; initially it felt light, but after the instructor gave us the green light to finish all the ammo (boy did she make a wrong move), and after our trigger happy session, i realised that my left hand started to shiver and it was getting a bit difficult to aim. It was tiring. I dont know how the pros do it but it certainly looks easier when your standing at the sides but thats usually the case and you know that right?

You are right bro, and you will say "I KNOW.. BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS RIGHT!" It was really fun for me as well for the LP2 shooting. Me label as "Time Crisis Shooter" I was shivering all the time not because of the gun is heavy. But the damn bloody cold temperature there! I think once we got the membership card, we can go there to shoot for leisure time!
