    If it's 100 rounds for EACH of the 9mm Pistol, .38 Revolver Desert Eagle and Lever Action Rifle, it's good.

    But if it's 100 rounds split between them, it aint gonna last 2 hours.

        my guess would be mostly rounds for the .22 "lever action" caus they are dirt cheap to buy rounds for. the bigger calibres you might only get a couple of shots with.

Nitro express)

        • NosDan on 10/10/2013 - 15:32

          and we are talking about your incorrect statement

          the largest most powerful legal caliber in aus is the 357 magnum

          i have made it blindingly clear that it is NOT the largest legal calibre in australia, there are other much larger guns/rounds available 100% legally

          or are you really trying to claim that (from my link above)

          Transfering dealer: Fyshwick Firearms ACT

          fyshwick firearms are dealing in illegal firearms on an open gun selling website (which is monitored by the feds by the way)? if a 454 Casull pistol is legal in aus, which is is, then the 357 is NOT the bigest legal pistol in aus….. making your original statement incorrect… simples?

          moronic to think/comment otherwise…..

        • DarwinBoy on 10/10/2013 - 16:28

          At my last pistol club open day i shot another members 45 70 revolver and it is a much larger pistol then the 357. I dont think he would be bringing it out if its illegal and i did see a few for sale on usedguns.com.au
          Edit Also i think some of the black powder shooters pistols are .50 cal but thats different again

          So basically u cant admit that you made a mistake reading my post by thinking i was talking about the most powerful gun in the world which i wasent,
          But you keep on posting replies to cover up ur mistake..
          Again the link you provided doesn't mean squat, ur providing a link to a website that sells a gun, only a gun, if u actually visit the link u provided it says the gun comes with 100 rounds of empty shells, again ur only buying a gun not the bullets!
          I was talking about bullets not the gun, u can buy the gun but not the bullets, but i guess ur too thick to understand, moronic indeed..

          u can buy the gun but not the bullets,

          again, your wrong…. or gun shops which are HEAVILY regulated are advertising and sell illegal ammunition…. which i can assure you they are not.

          again, check your facts, specially when "arguing" with someone who obviously knows a lot more than you about the subject…. caus in the end….. you just make yourself look dumb…

          the reason i said

          biggest legal production handgun currently is the .500 S&W

          is because i believe, with the correct licensing etc…. you can make your own gun (barrel etc) for larger than this…. but im not certain on that myself so im not claiming i know, just that i am led to believe you can…

          care to go another round and look even more stupid?

          You're actually both somewhat right and wrong. The largest legal handgun caliber you can own without a separate application for a "high powered pistol" permit is a .38 cal, but it's not overly hard to get this approval which will cover you for up to a .45 - note I'm working off NSW laws, but most states seem similar for handguns.

          If you're including rifles in your comparison, the .357 is a baby! .308 is quite a common rifle caliber and is massive (size and power wise) compared to a .357, and it's not even one of the "big" caliber rifles.

        • NosDan on 10/10/2013 - 18:06

          oh i was well aware of that actually, but its still not "illegal" in aus to have/own/shoot/buy with the correct licensing (same with any gun, without the proper licence you cant even have a slug gun or high powered paint ball gun, they need to be under xxx feet per second to be "legal" blah blah)…..

          In regards to the shells sold with the pistol comment, they sometimes sell empty used or new cases because pistol shooters generally reuse their shells in reloading. The owner of that pistol would obviously have no use for those shells once he sold the pistol so they are probably a bonus to any potential buyer of that pistol.

    • SambaL on 09/10/2013 - 16:57

      It actually isn't that restrictive. Not at the place where i went to at least.
      Don't get me wrong, i'd rather do without as well, but seeing it is required by law while it still being a reasonably hands on experience with the whole chained up thing i wouldn't want to give it up.

      • WazzaP on 09/10/2013 - 18:53

        Unless it's a new thing, I don't believe having them tethered is required by law. Shotgun ranges (clay pigeon) allow unlicensed people to try shooting as well, and there's no way you could do clays with a tethered shotgun.

    • RandomNinja on 09/10/2013 - 17:58

        They are pretty much held by multiple harnesses that suspend the gun and force it to face forwards.

        The issue isn't that you can't turn the gun around, but rather that you are unable to control it properly.

        The harness affects recoil, vision, stability and feel.

  • dirtybird on 09/10/2013 - 16:45

    For those that have been, what lever action rifle are they using?

    • WazzaP on 09/10/2013 - 19:00
      +1

      Haven't been, but being that they're a pistol club (and only a 25m range too) it will be in a small caliber. Likely .22, .38 or if you're lucky .357. Also price wise it's likely to be a small caliber - .22s can be had for approx 5c/round, .38 for 50c/round .357 for 60c/round and 30-30 is a touch over $1/round.

      Although it's not heavily advertised, most shooting ranges will allow you to do a try shooting session. My local pistol range used to do them for $10 per session (still do them, I'm just not sure on price) - only 50 rounds of .22, but it's intended to let you see if you would like to take it up as a sport and 50 rounds is enough to do that (50 is also what they shoot in their competition shoots, and the try shooting mimics their competition shoots). I also know SSAA regularly hold them at their ranges (and if you look up the deal I've recently posted, they even have a free one in SW Syd this Saturday).

      • robb6014 on 09/10/2013 - 19:45

    We need to know a bit more detail of the guns and ammo distribution. Desert Eagle for revolver does sound a bit suss, as they are more well-known for their Hollywood-style futuristic pistol. Their revolvers look like ancient single-action type, boring. What type of ammo is the level action rifle firing? .22cal tiny pea shooter? As for the ammo distribution, how do they divide the 100 ammo into? I am guessing will they give you 50 or more of those cheap tiny .22cal rifle cartridges, while the bigger 9mm and .38cal make up the other 50?

      • WazzaP on 10/10/2013 - 17:58

        If St Marys is too far away, see if there is a range closer to you. Most ranges offer try shooting sessions, costs vary but as an example the local pistol range near me only charged $10/person for 50 rounds of .22 - included ammo, club gun use, targets and instruction/supervision by the range officer.
        Let me know where you are and I might know of a range nearby.

    It is good to know that not everyone in Australia is an anti-gun zealot. I like the notion they have in Amerikkka of having an armed citizenry that in an emergency can form a militia to counter a tyrannical government. Also, having the right to protect oneself and one's family, rather than being completely dependent upon the government/police/army. These is a tendency in modern society to become completely dependent upon "THE STATE' for everything. Self-reliance is an essential part of conservatism.

      I like the notion they have in Amerikkka of having an armed
      citizenry that in an emergency can form a militia to counter
      a tyrannical government.

      Oh yes. Because,

      a) Western democracies have had so many tyrannical governments in the last 50 years.

      b) Hand guns and rifles would be so very useful against a tyrannical government's tanks, drones, submarines, mines, helicopter gunships, and tens of thousands of highly trained specialist killers (ie, the military).

      c) It would be so easy for uneducated, untrained yobbos from all parts of the country to organise together into a viable fighting machine.

      Also, having the right to protect oneself and one's family, rather
      than being completely dependent upon the government/police/army.

      Definitely. Taking all matters of security and justice into one's own hands, not needing police, or an entire judicial system, or even pesky things like human rights, Magna Carta, habeas corpus, or hell no presumption of innocence, nor even a respect for rule of law. Nah. Everyone should have big guns.

      (Oh, there's the little issue that everywhere in the world that guns are common, and easy to obtain, that they are vastly more likely to be used to actually harm ones family and oneself than any potential outside threat. More people owning guns = more gun violence. Duh.)

      a tendency in modern society to become completely dependent
      upon "THE STATE' for everything. Self-reliance is an essential
      part of conservatism

      Are you certain you are not from Arkansas?

      Self-reliance? Definitely. But don't stop at guns. How about growing your own crops? Or killing your own meat. (Ah…. the guns are for that.) Making your own clothing. Forging your own steel. Hang on. Don't we have civilisation for all that stuff? Hasn't human development over the last 10,000 or so years been leading to less self-reliance? Towards mutual reliance? Towards more caring and helping of our fellow hairless apes?

      Ahhh… but guns.

      Sorry. Yep. That overrides everything else.

        Ah, a typical Communist who thinks the state is always right, a mindless drone who does whatever the government tells them to. So, if someone broke into your home, you wouldn't do a thing, simply ask them to take whatever they want, let them molester your family members without a complaint. 'Defense if the government's responsibility, not mine.'

        People nowadays are specialists with very little basic knowledege. They don't know how to operate a sewing machine, trim hair properly, performance basic car maintainence, mow their own lawn, trim their own shrubs, basic home repair, cook proper meals, or even how to calibrate a Television. I remember the government recently had a scheme where people would come around to install a digital set top box, at a cost of about $200 per installation. Such a waste of money - even somebody with an IQ of 60 should be able to do it for themselves. What you don't understand is that, for conservatives like me, there is a feeling of pride in learning new skills and being able to do things for oneself, as opposed to outsourcing to others and being coddled by the nanny state. For lefties like yourself, the source of self esteem is docilely following the commandments of the government.

        As for a militia needing to fight high tech armies, haven't you watched the news any time in the last time years, or have you been spending it all in a hashish haze in a hippie commune? Muslims, terrorists, jihadists… They lack military training and discipline, have no fighter planes, guided bombs, Apache helicopers, cruisers, aircraft carriers, APCs or Main Battle Tanks. But they have proven to be extremely difficult for Amerikkka to eradicate. Oppressively governments can be fought covertly. Perhaps all it would take is a coordinated nightly assassination raid on the homes of the dictators to bring down a dictatorship. And you do realize that our "democratic" societies are becoming increasingly authoritarian. Security cameras, airport security, repression of cigarette smoking, difficult obtaining firearms, red tape for businesses, anti-discriminatory legislation, proposed logging of everyone's internet data for 3 years, and many more examples - these weren't a problem 30 years ago. Extrapolate current trends 50 years into the future, and ask yourself - "Do I want to live in such a world?" If your answer is yes, please read "Brave New World", "Anathem" and "1984" for enlightenment.

    Are we allowed to shoot the .38 and the Desert Eagle at the same time? One in each hand?

    • edfoo on 10/10/2013 - 10:11

      Unless your middle name is Akimbo, then no.

    • Shwayne on 10/10/2013 - 10:25

      They're harnessed, so you'd have to be able to reach across two shooting booths.

    This reminds me, I need to go to Ammunation and do some shooting range missions.
