Military/General quarters? Fired a lot of .50 and M16 in practice, zero at a human or boat
As LE on the water? Zero As a regular person? Zero As a kid? Had a pretty awesome bottle rocket war. Somebody may have ended up with a nice scar. |

In before NathanielHawkins, who apparently, shoots folks regularly.

One mag full at 1 or 2 people where I discovered their marijuana patch. They fired 2 or 3 rds as a scare tactic. Had my AK underfolder over my back. Dumped a full mag in their direction
Lots of yelling and running through the brush. Reported the grow patch to local sheriff's department. They followed me back and saw all my expended brass. Asked what the hell I shot back with. Showed them the AK. They laughed. This was back around '84 or so before the deer archery season. I was scouting a place while home on leave. |

and I will be very happy if that number doesn’t get any higher |

Can anybody explain how someone gets to 100 outside of combat?

How many house fires have you put out?
Would you rather have a garden hose connected to a swimming pool pump, or a fire hose connected to a hydrant? |

Luckily I got out of l.e. with 0 rounds fired. But I did almost shoot 2 pit bulls for good reason but didn't.

Two rounds of birdshot as return fire to the idiots that couldn't keep their aim out into the cornfield.

God damn. I would be sorely tempted to just set up a good distance away with a semi-auto rifle with optics and many large magazines and just start shooting the place up and dropping them as they come out. That's a damn hornet's nest, and it needs one of those long-range spray cans. View Quote Think of a long-term strategy, that keeps the violence low key but convinces the bangers there are better places to live. |

2 shot my Friend back in the day with a 22short in his foot lol
If we're talking bb or pellets then hundreds |

This poll wants me to believe that 15% of people on this site have shot at someone excluding military service and LEOs??? I don't think it would be that high if it included military and LEOs.
OP forgot to exclude BB guns, paintball guns, and airsoft. |

BTW the cops took the spare magazine because it was used in the gun. HPD does not give you back any ammo when you pickup the gun. 2010 = 8 shots, needed more ammo to shoot at robbers. Attached File Attached File Attached File Glocks used in each shooting. Attached File There has been shootouts in nearby businesses that would give some people here massive boners. One guy used an AK47 and fired over 60 rounds at some robbers (killed 3 out of 5) and another used 3 guns (2 handguns and a shotgun, killed 3 out of 4) in a massive shootout inside his business. My area has a high crime rate. |

Four, at a Pep Boys in AZ when I somehow saved the life of a off duty NCO who had been ripped by an Illegal who used a hammer to hit the poor fellow in the back of the head while they were standing in line. I had a little AMC UNdercover. I missed the turd but with the sound of the round he took off. He was captured by a huge manager before I could get a 5th shot off.
I did kill at least one large can of oil. |

Let's just say there is a difference in "fired at" and "aimed for".

None, but came close once out deep in the woods one winter..had a guy try to show ownership of public use land who felt he owned it..he was pointing a lever action in the general direction of my friends as he screamed at them about it being "his" trail, "his" property..Just as I was taking up slack on the trigger he slung the lever action...Glad he did, it would have sucked to deal with....

I voted 16-50 only because I've shot at my friends a lot with birdshot peppering each other while dove hunting. And a bunch in BB gun fights. Never killed anyone(with a gun) though. Best bud from high school is still sporting a BB in his waste I shot him with back in the 80's.

Do BB's count?
If so, I would be in the over 100 range.... I have stung quite a few legs and arms in my younger days. No eyes, although I did have a friend that lost an eye to a BB gun. (Self inflicted ) |

BB's are round, right?
Hundreds. Maybe thousands. But only two pumps.... For real...zero as of today. |
