have you ever handled a real gun before?

gun - A gun is a common name given to an object that fires high-velocity projectiles. The projectile is fired through a hollow tube known as the gun's barrel. The projectile's caliber, or diameter, is usually designated in fractions of an inch or in millimeters. Differing from the musket, most modern guns are rifled, with a series of grooves spiraling along the barrel; exceptions include smoothbores on tanks, AFVs and some artillery.

no, not the toy gun with pellets, neither the paintball guns. i'm talking about the real guns here. well, have you handled one of them? i have handled a gun once. that was when my uncle taught us (me, my brother, and my cousins) how to shoot. that was years ago. it happened days before Christmas. it was like our uncle's Christmas present. i never held another gun ever since then. =)

Yes, i have tried holding an armalite for no less. It was very much loaded and it was sure heavy for me to carry. It was when I was assigned as intern in the prison. It was my first time and it was pretty scarry.
