Merry Christmas?

[DFW1911]

As the significant other was outside trying to acquire a connection with satellites for her new GPS, I thought to myself "If ever a better opportunity exists to put some rounds down range I cannot think of it."

This turned out to be inaccurate...more on that in a minute.

So I grab the Ruger 345 Airsoft and make my way to her side, preparing to dazzle her yet again with my shooting prowess. Such plans are often better left as plans than actually executed.

I "dazzle" her (meaning me) with the accuracy of the Airsoft, then proceeded to further my demonstration with a few rapid-fire drills. This was not a good idea.

Her: "What are you doing? Stop it! That thing is noisy and can you imagine what Marge (our elderly neighbor) is thinking? Not to mention it looks like a real gun. Put it away."

Me: "But baby, the neighbors will only think it's a Christmas gift and will be impressed with my rapid-fire shooting ability!"

Here's the best line, the one that dissuaded further shooting:

Her: "Oh they'll be impressed alright...with how fast I can shove my foot up your a**!"

I returned inside a dejected man, a mere shell of what once was .

However...
She made the mistake of taking the GPS for a test drive, thereby allowing me to yet again dazzle said neighbors with my shooting skills, honed to a razor sharp ability after years of training More fun could not be had. Then I retreated inside not knowing her proximity and wanting to avoid any foot/butt connection .

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!

Take care,
DFW1911

PS: A picture of the Airsoft is attached. It's not the best quality photo (I took it with my phone) but you'll get the idea. If you don't have one, please buy one immediately. They're GREAT for domestic bliss

Women have no sense of humor.

Do they make one that shoots .45 caliber pellets?

That's why they call 'em "She who must be obeyed".

Happy holiday, at least you got some in.

You know, I eyeball those things every time I go to a DFW area gun show.
However, after reading your tale, I don't think I need to give her yet another reason to practice her field goal kicking abilities...

Besides, since I started reloading, she and I can afford to go to the range once or twice a week and shoot for real, which reduces my inclination to shoot airsoft/wax boolits/rubber boolits/etc in the back yard...thereby reducing my chances of experiencing her "imprompu practice"

Merry Christmas, Rich

I have the exact same airsoft pistol; excellent little guns. Fortunately for me, however, my girlfriend enjoys shooting it and my Sig 2022 airsoft as much (or more) than I do!

They're very useful. I use mine to break the cats of furniture clawing and people food thievery.

Of course, this just gives the kitten something else to play with. He has great fun chasing those 6mm plastic BB's
