Do it. I'm a life-long pacifist (despite being hooked on war games and Airfix models of war-planes as a kid). Just before handguns were outlawed in the UK, a friend, who shot competitively, invited me to his gun club, where I fired 50 rounds form a Magnum revolver, at paper targets (which were circular, not humanoid in design). I wouldn't say I experienced any sort of thrill, but it was an interesting experience; like, say, visiting an aircraft cockpit or a locomotive footplate. And yes, I did hit the target. With some of the bullets.
