Great game!

I would use the bases, and make a hole right in the middle of the first one, and shoot right thru it....But you would get screwed by it sometimes....and the invaders bullets would go right thru the hole....If you put it on the difficulty where the bullets from them swayed....It would not happen....But it was so much tougher....It did not matter if you used that cheat or not!

I thawt of Space Invaders as a shooting gallery.
In my childhood, I did a lot of plinking (mostly with .22 caliber rifles, sometimes .30 caliber (e.g., M-1 Carbine)
and with pistols and revolvers, but we got the best accuracy
from .22 caliber rifles; thay r really a lot of fun!

@OmSigDAVID,

I have only shot one gun in my life...It was a .22 Rouger...And I shot 186/200...

I even shot at metal targets, which you are not supposed to do...and hit 9 out of ten, cause a piece of one of the strays hit me under the right eye...and I backed off on the last shot...

Now, my eyes are too shot to do it....

Was it a handgun ?
A revolver or an automatic ?

Not a revolver, or auto...

No, I was not wearing protection...That is why it jarred me, and why I backed off..

And if my memory is correct, it was the last time, I ever shot the gun, also...

It was a handgun, but not a revolver nor an automatic, huh ?

Was it a muzzle-loading pistol ?

Do not think so, I do not even know what that means...

It may have been one of the 2, I can not say I know enough about guns actually, I will explain it, and you can tell me... It could have been one of the 2 above...I do not believe it was an auto...as it was at least a semi- cause you had to pull the trigger each shot...

It was a Rouger, ten clip magazine, You load ten in, and pull the trigger each shot, and then reload...For the next set, when I shot my set of 20 clips....

I am not sure if that is considered a revolver or not...

I picture a revolver, with a barrel chamber...But perhaps it is, and I am wrong...Not sure...

It was a very nice Rouger though...

On the boardwalk in Seaside Height NJ in the 60s they had a fun shooting gallery of real sub machine guns using 22 short rounds.

Lord was that fun even if I can not understand to this day how they got around the Federal law limit on class two weapons to allow such a boardwalk game.

Older guns were loaded, for centuries, at the front end of the gun barrel, which is called "the muzzle".
Eventually, thay figured out how to load them at the other end
of the gun barrel, which is called "the breech".

I understand.

Yes; that was a semi-automatic pistol.
I believe that Bill Ruger spelled his name: "R U G E R ".

Its not, because there is nothing that revolves, nor rotates.

No; u r RIGHT. The cylinder magazine rotates and the ammunition revolves
around a central axis and then lines up with the gun barrel.
(Note that magazine means a place where ammunition is stored.)
Here is a picture of one of my revolvers, showing the cylinder:

Submachineguns r tons of fun.
Some years ago, I gave a friend of mine a vacation in Las Vegas, as a wedding present.
It including a day at a gunnery range, where we rented the display case
and we worked out with all of its submachineguns. That was very, very enjoyable.
