awesome site. thanks :)
i am not working in the city anymore, which i loved. So there is no reason to stay except my and fiance’s mothers. More her mother than mine.
I dont like it here anymore and a fight will be brewing soon about where we will spend the rest of our years!!
i was thinking after I shot the M4, how does ANYONE survive on the battlefield if guns shoot hundreds or maybe more rounds per minute.
Hundreds or thousands of these guns being fired on both sides, that’s hundreds of thousands of shots!!!
how does anyone walk away??
In Vietnam approximately 25,000 rounds were fired for every enemy casualty.
In the third world, the concept of “aimed fire” is nearly non-existant. In Africa, it was popular to poke the gun towards the target at the moment of firing to make it more deadly, or the sideways gun in the hands of a gang banger.
Aimed fire, with good optics is why our troops are superior shots. Volume of fire has it’s place, but there is a limit to how much ammo you can carry. Say an M4 with 10 magazines holding 30 rounds. Your rifle can fire 600 rounds a minute (not counting reloading time).... then you are OUT.
It is easy to miss, especially when things are moving and somebody is shooting back. You make it count.
An old lawman said of the switch from revolvers to higher capacity semiautos...”Son, if you can’t do it in six shots, you might be in the wrong line of work.”
Look up Jim Cirillo, New York Stake Out Squad for some insight on gunplay.
