Or the GandRTactical corporate shooting team (joke, already warned Grant about this!) :D

This is from a campout in VA. I find it absolutely hilarious that kittyhawk showed up in a Hawaiian shirt and outshot these yahoos. As did everybody else we were there with.....

They just rolled up in a Jeep. Note the sternum mounted Rambo knife. There was also a sternum mounted flashlight.

We decided to leave once these clownshoes showed up but not without a display of superior firepower. I rocked and rolled with my FAL :D

The guy with the hat was at the Izaac Walton range last Sunday. He was yelling at a young teenager (I'm guessing his son) because he wasn't showing the 'proper attitude' on the range. He threatened to make him pay for the ammo.

He was walking around the range with a tac sling on that rifle, pistol in the small of his back.....he was ready for bear.

Vest yes but no Rambo knife.

I didn't look much better. I drove up in my Brady Bunch Volvo Wagon, torn bluejeans, t-shirt, desert boots, my rifle, and a CZ-452.

I was there to check out the CZ-452 (22lr) at 100 yards before I let my 6 & 8 year olds shoot at that distance. I took my rifle out there to plink inbetween groupings with the 22lr.

I ran some targets out to 100 yards, popped into a kneeling position and sent 30 rapid fire rounds down range using irons. No great groups but all hit in the black.

He left after that.

A magwell grip and an AFG, with the AFG in a position that shows you have no clue how it was designed to be used. Light below the barrel and a C-more. Where these guys extras on the last Terminator movie? If I worked for Magpul I'd bitch slap these commandos and take back my stuff. Gotta love the raked back body position and the chicken wing arm position with the high butt stock position to get it above their plates. MI foreend on the near guy? XD Pistol? (Eh, I had one at one time, but I also didn't realize the Village People were gay when I was a kid and the homoerotic aspects of 'Top Gun' escaped me till someone pointed out that Kelly McGillis was just a fag-hag.)

This is why I tell people to NEVER get their gun/gear advice from a gun store (as it is generally the WORST place to get it). There are exceptions to the rule (like VA Arms where GOTM4 works).

Right. More like a learning center?

A good "learning center" should:

1. Ask the customer what the intended role is for the weapon (like varmint, target, defense, etc).
2. Ask the customer what their price range is (and stick to gear that fits in it).
3. Only stock quality guns and gear that will last and perform.
4. Offer advice on what works and what doesn't (if the customer asks for it).
5. Talks the customer out of stupid crap that is going to waste their money and not achieve any of their goals.

The guy with the hat, his first name is Paul. He was at the range berating a teenager when I showed up. I didn't check out his groups so I can't talk about his marksmanship.

I would like to say/dream, being the manly man that I am, when he saw me set up a target at 100 yards, empty a magazine in about a minute from the kneeling position and have all rounds in the black that I scared him away....

But alas...me thinks he was finishing up when I showed up.....:p

Grant, I honestly think that they would do all 5 but I haven't really given them a chance to except for number 3, specific to that they are good to go.

I used them as the FFL for a 6721. I purchased a 6920 and a CZ-452 Scout from them. GotM4 corrected my daughter's RRA NMA4.

I'm probably going to be flamed for posting this, but I think it's important.

First off, yes, the two guys look like morons. They're definitely there to look cool and obviously have no idea how to use their equipment. HOWEVER...

We (as a country) are divided enough as it is on 2nd Amendment issues. Ostracizing these guys only thins our numbers even more. I'm not trying to play some bleeding heart role here, I just think it's important to avoid the mindset of poking fun simply for the sake of doing so. While it's functionally ridiculous that they're wearing tactical gear and rambo knives to a country shoot, some would argue semi-autos are just as ridiculous and unnecessary. In that light, I think we should simply smirk, try our best to educate people like that, and move on.

Trust me, I think they look worse than most low-budget action-film doubles, but it's their right to do so. If we keep the mentality that we can make fun of guys like this (who deep down are probably just there to have fun and look cool - something we all like to do), we'll go the way of countries like Great Britain, where gerrymandering of firearms groups evolved into the virtual banning of all firearms. If we don't simply accept them as uneducated but well-meaning firearms enthusiasts (and do our best to educate them), someone else will portray them as future psychotic killers who shouldn't have access to military-grade weaponry.

Disagree. I sincerely doubt that anyone here on this thread (and I know everybody from my group that was at the range that day would do the same!) would refuse to help these guys out with stance, shooting fundamentals, or anything else for that matter.

Gun owners shouldn't act like clowns. It hurts all of us. A little negative reinforcement with a strong dash of humor is not going to bring down the 2nd Amendment.

The guys in the photo are stuck in the "I don't know what I don't know" world and most likely have no interest in coming out. Ignorance is bliss after all.

I think people like this should look into re-enactment. They just want to get dressed up, and I guess the psychology is similar to cosplay. At least if they were doing re-enactment they would not look so stoopid.

1ea bitch-slap
2ea Purple-Nurple
1ea kick to the package (I asked one silly AND annoying question, in two parts, so I guess he loaded up).

Pointing and laughing at noodniks like those pictured in no way whatsoever interferes or infringes on their 2A rights. If you can't make stupid hurt, you can at least try to make make it hideously self-conscious. I submit that all humor is able to be interpreted as cruel on some level.

I live in the town that boarders one of the primary rock climbing areas on the Eastern seaboard. Dudes like this are plentiful! They start the most fights at the bar I work at. Loose the most fights at the bar I work at, and are the most likely to come in at the end of the season or mid season injured.

I literally had two of them ask me the other night if I thought it was a good idea to put out a can of meat chili 300 yards from their campsite at 1 in the morning and hang out within 100 yards with a video camera to try and tape a bear. I explained to them that it was spring, meaning cubs. They didn't seem to worried. Haven't seen them back in the bar in a while...

Feh. I don't want people screwing with me when I go to the range, and the best way I know to get that is to MMOB. If he can't shoot, and he doesn't care, leave him be as long as he's not dangerous to you.

Right you are.

We all bitch and moan about how village idiots bring down the tactical shooting world and fit into all the media stereotypes, but at some point you have to stand up and say; "I'm going to fix it!"

Have a good grasp of the fundamentals? Create a syllabus, find a range or land you can shoot on and take a bunch of new shooters through the basics. If you can't find people to help, post in the regional training/hometown forums that you are looking to do some training.

I have 15 page lesson plans I follow for both Carbine and Pistol. It is all the best drills, info and ideas taken from the best instructors. I augment lesson plans on the fly with my personal experience with gear and guns. I see a Taurus in a Serpa holster, its time for a lecture on what their life is worth.

For one thing, if you end up rolling around on the ground, you can get a buncha crap lodged underneath the paddle of the release mechanism, preventing the pistol from being released if you need to draw. If you can't depress the switch, the gun stays where it is.

I had this happen, myself, and at the worst possible moment. My secondary might as well have been here in the States, for all the good it did me, stuck in the holster. Thankfully, I wasn't the only good guy there, so I only got scared three-quarters of the way to death instead of ending up dead because of that POS.

Most folks form a curve in their finger (to release the gun from the holster). This "bend" in their trigger finger tends to stay in that position as the gun comes out of the holster. This in turn could lead to a ND.


For holsters, look at Raven, blade-tech,etc.

Light below the barrel and a C-more. Where these guys extras on the last Terminator movie?


Ok, that is a setup I have, what am I doing wrong?

I have a C More on the G36k, seems to be quality and has been very reliable. I know it isn't as bulletproof as some of the Eotechs but I'm not in Asscrapistan so it is strong enough for range deployment and home defense.

I often mount lights under the barrel. What is the issue with that? Is it reliable employment of the light? If so I guess I can see that, and that is why I use a M3/TLR1 style light. I can actuate it with the index finger on my handguard hand.

But if I'm missing something else, clue me in.

A G-36... I kid, I kid. Wish I had one.

C-More is a fine sight, I've shot my buddies USPSA Open gun with it and there is nothing wrong with it. To me they seem like you have to have your head directly behind them to see the dot, I get more latitude with a T1. I think the groans about C-more come from the fact that they are not as robust as a Aimpoint or EOTech- and for some reason they always end up on movie guns. Great range and gamer sight - and at like 1/3 the cost, the best solution for that role. The real test would be to take a c-more and an aimpoint and play gravel bachi ball in a range parking lot and see how they hold up. I know the Aimpoint will survive. I have a buddy who started shooting and was a USPSA Grandmaster two years later. He looks at my T1 like it is from Mars and try to be careful with his C-mores ;)

All lights on a forend will have the barrel cast a shadow. With the light below the barrel the shadow will be cast up. The BGs head and center line will be in the shadow. I think it was covered in "Green Eyes, black rifles". I still struggle with light placement. QD sling holes on the rails, BUIS, AFG and light mounts all seem to want to interfere-Especially on Middy handguards. Trying to get a 'Costa' AFG grip is alot easier with my VTAC TRX 13 inch rail.

Don't worry, I'll probably end up in these threads eventually.

The C-More is not a bad optic, but just behind an EOTech and Aimpoint in quality.

Mounting a light at the 6 position is fine, but is considered the least ideal spot (12 being the first choice).

They are cheap, inejction molded crap that have safety issues along with the fact that they can lock your gun in the holster if so much as a small pebble gets into the locking mechanism.

Like I said, if I was actually jumping out of helo's or taking down caves in Asscrapistan I'd probably run a Eotech. But for everything I've done, which includes lots of running, dropping to prone, banging around cover, etc. the C More does the job just fine.

I've got the book and read it. Bottom line, you will get a shadow "someplace" especially if you run a suppressor. But the shadow is actually a faint shadow and your subject (if you keep up on batteries) will still be very well lit.

I tend to prefer a 12 oclock shadow to a 3 or 9 oclock shadow. For me it functions almost like an aiming device. And compared to what we had 20 years ago, ANY light is a dramatic improvement.

Any retention holster can **** you under the right circumstances. Non retention holsters can become a liability under the right circumstances.

It was getting passed around - up and down the firing line. I was too slow to get the fireball.

Mosin Nagant CQB.


Yes, they can be, But, let's not forget that there literally millions of them here in the U.S. They've been selling in the $75-100 range for years, (exception being Finn Mosins,they are what the commies should have been making) Nobody's going to miss a few that end up in the hands of those with a dull hacksaw, and a not so bright idea...Like the one in the pic... Look at it this way, it's better that he did this to a Mosin, than say, a '03 or a '03A3, or a Persian or Swedish Mauser, something really classic


It's amazing how one photo travels the Internet...I personally took that photo a few years ago at a charity car shoot here in Massachusetts. Lest anyone think differently, this gun was built by an FFL/SOT as a joke - a poke at the Mall Ninjas...it was actually quite fun to shoot - threw out a fireball the size of a trash can... :D

That rifle is the equivilent of getting a Zero on you High School ACT test, it is so stupid it could only be the work of a genius.

I don't know of any of the Safariland retention holsters that have any "liability" issues as far as getting dirt/sand/etc getting stuck in the retention system.

Retention, is fine, but generally not needed for civy CCW (as no one knows you have a gun).


C4

Dirt isn't always the culprit. Some are just awkward to draw from, especially if you are concealed and seat belted in or things like that. And that is why a lot of CCW folks don't like any kind of retention holster.

But due to the way I carry, paddle holster on the hip, I prefer some kind of retention holster. Basically I don't wanna spill my piece when grabbing grocery sacks off the floor of my car or if I ever need to pull a ninja stunt like an inverted swing over up onto the roof of my house (that is a joke btw), etc.

I just never warmed up to the thumb release system. For me it was always an extra step I tripped over during the draw. For me the trigger finger release of the serpa is much more natural.

Now I understand for some people it makes them natural allow their trigger finger to then slip into the trigger guard resulting in potential NDs but for me it had the opposite effect. For some reason it helps me keep my trigger finger on the trigger guard (rather than in it) on the draw.

Could be I'm just one of those rare oddballs. I do some things other find incredibly difficult easily and I sometimes have problems with the stuff that is easy for others.

Interesting. My thumb is right on the thumb release anyway due to the grip when drawing so for me it is almost as if there is no retention system to have to manipulate...

Good luck!

The ALS is the best and is extremely natural to draw from as your thumb just lands on the button.

I shot my best score on ToddG's FAST drill with an ALS.

The only problem with religious tatoos on your right arm is that you are goin to have to wear a long sleeve t-shirt to jerk off, otherwise you turn a venal sin into a mortal sin.

That's pretty much what happened with me, once the rounds went down range he left.

A good note, I took my son's Den Leader and his oldest daughter to Quantico on Sunday. She wanted try out for her high school air rifle team next year when she is a freshman. So she wanted to get some trigger time behind the 6920 and RRA NMA4. Her groups were pretty good but we didn't go over windage & elevation.

Anyways, a lot of shooters out there, not a single Mall Ninja.

Yes, I understand all the "equipment" that points to "ninja status," but I must ask, what's the faux pas with the Airborne tab with the long tab, assuming he was a GB, of course. That's the only configuration I have ever seen those patches, unless the SF guy was assigned to a non-SF, non-Airborne unit.

If those are USGI uniforms, he shouldn't be wearing them, it is illegal. If those are Army/Navy surplus 'fake' USGI uniforms, aside from looking like a Mall Ninja, no problem.

Specific to the tabs, stolen valor covers that.

As I was. My brain was in late night MI mode for a moment, where you would not wear SF and Airborne together.

Airborne is integral to SF SSI

You'd think someone that goes through the effort becoming a Green Beret would know not to wear an airborne tab with it

I've seen a few triple canopies.

Special forces, airborne, ranger. And this is on base, not the airsoft field.

I go to school near Camp Shelby and just last week as I was eating a burrito at a local restaurant, about 9 or 10 Green Berets walked in wearing their ACU's. They all had the airborne tab with their Special Forces tab above it.

I believe Moose above gave the correct order of precedence for special skills tabs. The Airborne tab is not a special skill tab, but is part of the SSI or shoulder sleeve insignia, along with the arrowhead part of the patch. Same goes for the 82nd, the 101st, and for 10th Mountain with their Mountain tab. This is not an all-inclusive list.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled Mall Ninja gawking. :D

Oh yeah, no doubt; the games might be great, but trying to look like (and even go by the same name as) your favorite video game hero? During a live-fire carbine course? Someone needs a reality check. Or a mirror so they can see how retarded they look.
