Well I've shot Anschutz .22's of various types and BSA Martini .22's, some Morris tubed .22's along with Webley .22 air pistol, .22 BSA airsporter air rifle, .22 Pardini Free Pistol, .22 Rugers with various stocks, .177 Steyr LP10 .177 air pistol and of course my Beretta shotgun.
In addition whilst in the Air Training Corps I shot .303 Lee Enfield Rifles, .762 Self Loading Rifles, .303 Bren gun, .762 GPMG, Sterling sub-machine gun and the officers pistol of the day the Browning 9mm - all this in exchange for duty in the butts marking targets of course.
My highlight in the ATC was a ride in a Jet Provost which was very exciting - legs and arms had ties on them that were withdrawn if you pulled the eject handle so they weren't torn off on exit
I have fired a few other shotguns in my time but don't remember what they were.
On the ocassional trip to Canada I have shot a WW1 German very long barreled Mauser rifle which was.762 with a straight bolt handle and ever so accurate with virtually no recoil whatsoever and the odd hunting rifle but only at targets!
I won a turkey in a competition and beat the Canadians with their WW1 rifle getting the highest score on a random number square target
I would quite like a go at some long range rifle shooting with something exciting like a .50 calibre but its too expensive really.
