Need input for potential carbine class

[ron556]

larry,

+1 on a pistol caliber/subgun class. got the subgun, but have been wanting a pistol-caliber AR for some time. you know, any excuse…

i'd also be into an "non-AR" carbine class. i've got an AUG from tpd usa coming very soon + would like to see how that thing performs.

This thread almost has me wishing that I could figure out some way to get BATF compliance approval on one of the new-production semi-automatic (only) StG-44 rifles that are now being manufactured over here in Germany.

Not that it would be at all practical to attend a course with such a weapon, given the cost and rarity of decent 7.92 x 33mm fodder, but ahhh -- that's hardly the point.

EDIT: Here is an English-language URL for the new-build StG 44 for those who maintain an interest in that particular weapon: http://www.ssd-weapon.com/engl_web/p...en/bd44_en.htm

Larry,
What about a "limited" foreign weapons course - you could focus on current enemy weapons. Maybe pick up were your AK class left off. You could leave out the AK, maybe even make that course a prereq. for this course - it might keep the cost down and make it workable?
Also wondering when your 2008 classes will be posted?

Larry,

Whatever type of rifle class you decide upon it would be nice to have a drill or two dedicated to extended distance engagement. Say 200-300 yards (and beyond if relevent). Most of the guys I know who have had some carbine training rarely have had the opportunity outside of the military to shoot their goodies beyond 100 yards. I understand that most ranges don't offer that type of range but if interested I can put you in touch with a range here in the Vegas area where you can shoot out to 550 meters.

Just a thought.

Since this subgun / pistol caliber carbine is such a specialty class I'm going to be starting a separate thread to take down names of the guys interested. I hope you guys remember how eager you were in this thread.

Good ideas Larry and lots of good feedback from others. Keep-up the good work!

Larry,
What about a vehicle tactics course? I recently took a one day course where we shot through auto glass from inside the car, shot engine blocks and linear surfaces of vehicles. While it was very informative, it missed a few spots and the instructor, while decently trained seemed to lack the real world experience. I would love too see a more in depth class and from someone with your type of background. Just a thought.
