Again, useless.

They would be fun to shoot, once, maybe. But I would want to watch someone else shoot them first!

I can't wait to get home and burn off some rounds through my FS2000

What cal you got?

Got a question for you, may be dumb but here goes. Seeings how you are not with a regular Marine unit, do you get an allocation of ammo/range time to stay current with your marksmanship?

I have a 5.56. I think that is the only cal that rifle comes in.

I don't get any ammo or allocation like that, but all I have to do is call the range and schedule a time when units aren't training and they give me a few hundred rounds and a rifle.

Ok, pretty much what I was talking about. How often do you have to qualify? And will you be doing that at Hill AFB?

I am exempt from annual qual here and will be there as well, since there are no ranges here set up for 500 yard firing. Here and there they just have those girly 300 yard known distance ranges.

A friend of my here used to have a place to shoot where he could go out to about 450 yards. With open sights I was hitting a 2 lit coke bottle with the 3rd shot. I was withing a foot of it with the first 2.

Well my relief is here early. gonna brief her and head out.

Take care and talk to you later.

Either one would be good medicine for Somali pirates! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I can trim the toenails off a flea at 1000 yards with a Howitzer 777 fired from the hip. It won't even scratch the flea.

Afternoon dogs!
