HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

 

[Blackhawk]

NONE!

Every year, some idiot does, and every other year around here somebody gets killed by the falling bullet.

Again I say: NONE!

 

[pax]

Airsoft.

Blackhawk's wrong! Blackhawk's wrong!

pax

Childish or childlike? You decide.

now i wish i bought that rubber-band gun i had my eye on a few months back.
guess i'll have to settle for the airsoft mp5.

 

[JeepDriver]

Blanks, but don't be surprised when the Cops show up with hands on their guns.

Be Safe tonight

 

[Traveler]

Bofers. 40mm. Designed for just that application. Also has the benefit of being able to keep most regulatory agencies at a distance.

Honorable mention to the Flak 88 and the Vulcan.

 

[Matthew Courtney]

Water gun.

 

[Bruz]

Spud gun...then mini tater tots for all.

 

[Ninj500]

How about an AT-4! That way you'll know for sure where it landed!

 

[blades67]

The one that's for fun! You can even do it if you're alone. (But only once or you'll go blind!)

 

[Topgun]

Oh gosh....I forgot....

meant to add another choice.

f. When DRUNK?

If there isn't even one mention of a Barrett .50BMG, I ain't gettin one.

 

[dairycreek]

I'll raise my glass of wine..........

to the new year and go to bed at around ten. Getting old ain't for sissies. Good shooting

 

[Topgun]

I want Blackhawk's gun.

Shoot it in the air every year but it takes til every OTHER year to come down.

Now THAT's trajectory!

 

[blades67]

A Barret 82A1.

 

[Okiecruffler]

I'm working the ED tonight, so I won't be shooting anything in the air. But I'm sure I'll meet a few who do.:banghead:

 

[STW]

Squirt

If you have one of those red rubber ones from years ago that shoots ping pong balls it'd be another safe alternative.

 

[sm]

NONE

[sniff sniff, I wish I had a rubber band gun to play inside with]

 

[Yohan]

When you're drunk, you should dry fire into the air and make do for the lack of "Bang" with your mouth. I strongly advise against doing this while sober because you WILL feel very stupid doing that sober.

 

[Diesle]

Squirt gun.

a few years back i went to visit some family and attend a funeral back around kodiak. the funeral was held on russian new years, and the entire village of 300+ all went outside at midnight and let loose with their shotguns. the whole island seemed to shake with a couple hundred 12 ga's shot for a good ten minutes straight.
oddly enough no one shot any rifles or handguns, just shotguns.
and they aim over the airstrip, so it is in a safe direction. the locals know not to be anywhere near the airstrip on that night!

 

[Zander]

Was at my favorite local shop to help out today...lots of cheap 7.62x39 and 9mm ammo sold, one box at a time.

 

[Southla1]

The best answer is none. What goes up must come down. There was a young lady killed in New Orleans a few years ago by a round that was fired in the air.

(BUT if ya just gotta do it use a shotgun with #9 shot.) Personal expirence from many a dove field has proven that if fired straight up it will be harmless on the way down IF you have eye protection.

 

[2dogs]

Probably not a good idea to do in a city, and here you will be arrested for it.

 

[Sean Smith]

Just to show how naive I can be, I thought celebratory gunfire only happened in the third world hell-holes the Army sent me to... until I saw a .45 slug a friend dug out of the roof of his house.
