    When we take the grandkids (ages 7-10) shooting, after the .22LR gets boring for them we move to the .243 and the .308 w/ muzzle brake. They seem to do better with the .308 - probably because of the brake. They get a kick out of the blast coming back from the brake ports.

    The older kids (10-16) go right to the .30 cal stuff and AK rifles. After they shoot the AK47 or 74 I have to pry it from their hands.

    I'm thinking as they get better and get a little older we'll move them to things like grenade launcher, flame thrower, 105mm Howitzer...

    Hey - check your PM's.
    I might be able to help you out with your caliber / rifle decision and make a little extra room here in the armory. I've been consolidating calibers and might have what you need...

    And no...
    It's not a 105 or M40 recoilless or anything like that.
