Kade ngifunda Omagazini Abathengiswayo on and off for 20 iminyaka futhi ngikholelwe ukuthi izindatshana zezibhamu ziyimikhangiso embozwe kancane yebhizinisi. Ngesinye isikhathi, ngabhalisela omagazini abayizinyanga eziyisikhombisa ngenyanga ngezibhamu ngasikhathi sinye 6 iminyaka. Kuphenduke phakathi nalesi sikhathi seminyaka eyisithupha. Ngaqala ukubona izinkathazo ezimbalwa ezithokozisayo ezihlokweni zezibhamu. Ngiyahlola futhi ngingathanda ukungena esitsheni sami sokuhlanza bese ngisusa esifubeni sami.
Ngibhalisele futhi ngahlola omagazini bezibhamu ngenxa yokuthi nginentshisekelo enkulu ngezibhamu nezibhamu futhi nginabanikazi futhi ngidayisa abaningi esikhathini esingaphezu kweminyaka engamashumi amabili. Ngabhalisela ukutadisha omagazini bezibhamu ukuze ngizuze ulwazi. Futhi bheka kochwepheshe abanenjabulo ethe xaxa kimi ukuze uthole izincomo noma izincomo. Manje ababhali’ ngaphakathi komagazini bezibhamu kanye nomagazini bezibhamu uqobo bazama futhi banikeze umthelela wokuthi benze imibono yomkhiqizo wezikhali nezinye izinsimbi ezihlobene. Abambalwa baze bathi babhala lo mbhalo ikakhulukazi ukuvivinya isibhamu noma izinhlamvu ukuze kuzuze abafundi.
Manje ubuyele eyunivesithi, lapho usho ukuthi ubuyokwenza isheke nokuhlola. Lokho kudinga imigomo efanelekile yokuqinisekisa ukuthi imiphumela ibingasekho mbumbulu. Kepha bekuvumelekile futhi kuyaphinda. Manje, okuwukuphela kwendlela yokunikeza imiphumela nganoma yikuphi ukuvumeleka kufanelekile “umklamo wocwaningo”. Ngaphandle kokuthi uhlelo lokuzama lunikeza imingcele ngokumelene nanoma ikuphi okuguqukayo okungaziwa. Ukuchema kwabahloli futhi kugcina izindlela ezingaguquguquki, yonke inqubo nemiphumela kuyize. Ukuhlelwa kwezifundo eziqondile akuhlali kunzima njalo futhi kungenziwa ngokuhlelelwa okuncane kuphela. Maye ababhali bezibhamu bakhubeka njalo esinyathelweni sokuqala.
Njengesibonelo, ababhali bezibhamu bavame ukuqala i-athikili yesheke nokuhlola ngendlela yokumemezela. Ukuthi isibhamu esithile siphendulwe ngeposi kubo ukuze sihlolwe ngomkhiqizi ngendlela. Ukuthi bathathe noma yiziphi izinhlamvu okwake kwaba khona noma kwaziwe njengomkhiqizi wezinhlamvu zezinhlamvu ezimbalwa ezinkulu zamahhala. Uma kwenzeka ukubheka lokhu umzuzu uzokubona ngaphandle kokulibala. Ukuthi vele kunokungahambisani ngaphakathi kwezinhlamvu ezihloliwe. Nokushayisana okungenzeka kube nentshisekelo ngaphakathi kwemiphumela. Izinhlamvu ziyinto ebalulekile ekutheni isibhamu sisebenza kanjani.
A 230 okusanhlamvu .45 i-caliber cartridge evela e-winchester ayifani ne- a 230 okusanhlamvu .45 igobolondo elilinganiselwe kusuka ku-saber yegolide. Igobolondo elinikeziwe lifaka izinto eziningana kanye nenhlamvu, impuphu, icala lethusi ne-primer. Ushintsho kunoma yiluphi udaba olulodwa lungaba nomthelela omkhulu ekunemba nasekusebenzeni kwenhlamvu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma umenzi wezibhamu ebiza inhlangano yezinhlamvu futhi ecela izinhlamvu ezingakaqiniswa. Kukhona impi yokuzilibazisa khona lapha. Ngingavumelana nombhali wezibhamu ukuthi anginike ukuhlolwa okuthembekile kokusebenza kwamakhadibhodi? Uma enikeza ukuhlolwa okubi, ingabe inkampani iyeka ukumthumelela izinhlamvu ezikhululekile? Ungahambisa izinto zamahhala kwabambalwa abakunikeze isilinganiso esingalungile a 12 izinyanga ezedlule?
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma uhlola isibhamu esinemikhiqizo emihlanu ethile yezinhlamvu ezinesisindo nezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene ngemuva. Okusihlola kubhekwe isibhamu b ngezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlamvu ezinesisindo nezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene, ukuhlolwa kusemthethweni?. Ngikuthola njalo ukuhleka ukuthi bahlinzeka ngomthelela wokubheka ukweqisa nokuhlukile. Ngenkathi ukwakheka kocwaningo lwesisekelo sokubheka inqubo kungamanga, imiphumela ayisebenzi.
Izindatshana zezibhamu nazo ngokuvamile zivame ukuba yizingxenye ezikhulukazi zokukhukhumeza esikhundleni semibono emfushane ephelele yomkhiqizo. Imvamisa ngizama ukubheja ukuthi umbhali uzoqala ngakuphi ukukhuluma ngokushesha mayelana nomkhiqizo noma ukuthi ithisisi ye-athikili iyini. Kwidlanzana lababhali, ngingathola ukuqala kwangempela kwento ku-2d noma 0.33 isigaba. Kepha iningi labantu ababhali bezibhamu ngithola ukuthi i-athikili yangempela iqala ngaphakathi kwendima ye-10 noma enkulu. Izigaba eziyishumi eziyinhloko bekungumbono womuntu uqobo ngobukhona. Ukuthwebula imiphakathi’ imibono yezibhamu noma i-walter mitty dream yokuba sendaweni eyingozi. Lapho ubungalindela umkhiqizo lokhu kuyinselelo yento.
