Time to boost thread!

At qualification in basic, the pop-ups at 25 meters were so bullet-ridden and shot through, that one of my M-16 rounds went through it and did not register. Made me hot; it stopped me from 'Hawkeye' score 40/40.


Auto-fire day was good too. Got 2 rounds in ALL 10 profiles (before the A2 3 burst version too
) Range sergeant told me I needed to go 11B.

Pffft.

Eastern NC? Sounds like Camp Lejeune! My brother in law just retired from there as a Top. I almost got to drive a Gator there!
At National matches, they have another paper moving behind the target so that if you shoot one hole groups, you can tell how many rounds you actually put on the target. It prevents the issue you had! However, with an AK, you will never have that issue (one hole groups), you will be lucky to have all rounds on the paper.

Quote:True but I have fired more m16s then I care to remember. Its a good weapon but not what I am looking for. Everyone and their brother got a AR15 just not my thing.

Well it is out of your budget new, but if you want unusual and one of the very best, check out Nesika Bay. Perhaps you can get one used, they have the best of everything.

I know we're on rifles now, but I have a retraction!

I talked to my buddy today who just finished his third tour in Iraq last month. He's a first sgt in the marines and we were talking today about his pistol, so I asked him about lasers. He said that the marines now issue lasers on all of the pistols (officers and sp ops carry them, I guess?) and on the rifles. He said the pistols use a compression switch on the frame and the rifles are an on/off switch. He said they even have infrared lasers - is that cool or what. He said this has occurred in the past couple years based on their experiences in combat. He said he's not sure about the other branches and their use of lasers.

Just thought I'd share

The army uses laser pointers...yes pointers to mark targets at night for the air craft to destroy. Now bear in mind that they are in communications with the air craft so its not like they are just shooting at dots on the ground.
