marksmanship

My e-girlfriend K-Dub (that’s what I call her) has a youtube channel now:

When I watched the above video, I was kind of wondering why she would upload something where she took multiple shots at each target.  Like, damn K-Dub aren’t you supposed to be a Tier -7 sniper?  The number of medals you’ve earned for shooting is more than the number of times I’ve asked myself “Will I be alone forever?” in the last hour… and that’s a lot.

Kirsten emailed me and said “Trolls be trollin'” (her exact words) so she uploaded this new video (see below) where she cracked all three balloon heads with one shot each.  Yea Kirsten and I are cool like that with the email communication, whatever though no biggie.  Don’t act surprised when we’re instagramming selfies together from a Bellagio penthouse suite hot tub next SHOT show.

Kirsten-Weiss-ShootingIrrational jealousy aside, WHO IS THAT GUY WITH THE BIKE KIRSTEN?!  I thought we were e-exclusive?  Why do you gotta play with my emotions like this boo?

VigilantSpectre’s Marksmanship Qualification:

From the description:

  • Every member of the team must pass both a primary and secondary weapons qual for multiple reasons, Here is a short snippet of the primary qual.
  • Two positions: one at 150 yards and the other at 250.
  • Shooters start at 150 yrds. They shoot 10 rounds from standing offhand, followed by 10 rounds kneeling and 5 prone.
  • The shooter then moves to 250 yards and repeats this sequence but is allowed to rest.
  • Shooters are given 50 rounds in 3 randomly loaded magazines.
  • 3 minute time limit on each stage with no rollover

I love the “for multiple reasons” vagueness in the description.  You just know these guys sit around at night in multicam panties, drinking and salivating over SHTF scenarios.

Those distances are fine and all, but they failed to say what counts as a pass.  My guess is these guys just have to “shoot” at targets at those ranges, and hits don’t really matter. Might as well throw some targets 1000+ yards downrange too if that’s the case.

Oh yea and one more thing, did Spectre introduce the shooter as “Anus Patriot” at 0:16?  It sure sounds like it, and I really wouldn’t be surprised.

The gun store guys test their accuracy using popular “ghetto” methods:

Like they said… as long as the criminals keep using those methods it’s just better for the rest of us.

The deal is incredible if you need to stock up on .22LR.

$6.50 a brick (500 rounds) for Remington 40 gr. lead nose ammo which looks like it’s similar to Remington Thunderbolt … I don’t think .22LR has been that cheap since the 80s.  I want to know what the CMP gets it for, if they can sell it for that cheap and still make a profit.

In order to get that $65 deal you need to get your CMP affiliated shooting club to buy it for you (pay them back or something), otherwise it’s $90.

You can place your order at the bottom of the page – HERE

The description states that this ammo was made for a US military contract back in 1995.  I assume it was for training purposes back then.  Does the military still use .22LR for anything?

This is crazy. Keep in mind someone is also downrange doing the filming:

I assume the shovel is so after they “accidentally” hit the shovel man with an errant shot, they can simply pick up the shovel and dig him a shallow grave.

Dance shovel boy Dance!

In the US we only send photographers down range and say it’s perfectly safe. Sending a photographer AND a guy with a shovel down range is just madness.

Training to compensate for muzzle DIVE?  Wait… what?…

Source – NYpost & NationalPost

The rifles are apparently QBZ model 95 or 97 bullpups.

Not too sure what that little training exercise acomplishes, unless its simply set up to break their spirits when they realize they can’t hold those bricks up for very long.

I’m surprised guy #1 in the 2nd picture didn’t get the cane.  He’s cheating by armpitting the rifle. Guy #2 is just an idiot.
