If the weeb door swings both ways they must get pumped about someday coming to America and handling a real gun.

Hideo Kojima is one of those. He's mentioned being obsessed with American military hardware in interviews.

In college I was a member of the international students club and "I want to shoot a gun" was one of the first things international kids wanted to do in the semester. I'd say like 50% of them wanted me to take them to a shooting range within the first 6 weeks of coming to the US, it was really weird

Hey, I wanted to shoot a gun too the moment I went to the US

I have seen a video of a shooting instructor who brought over a Japanese kid who did all his drills with airsoft and had never shot a real gun before. I'll go look for it and edit in the link if I find it.

Edit: Someone Else found it in a reply

YT search sucks ass these days, but I remember the video you're referencing. Here's the best I can do: https://youtu.be/G_TgsVlky3U
