The mostly do more or less volley fire. Most of those people, hell most of my troops were not expert. A lot of them did not even like going to the range even when qualifying. There are more that qualify "Marksman" than "Sharpshooter" or "Expert". Not all experts become snipers or even try to. I never did. It is just something I did and do reasonably proficiently. I had Sergeants under me that competed in the tournaments and were a lot better than me and were not snipers either. I never had a sniper under my command, even back near the beginning in my Armored Reconnaissance Scout Platoon Ldr days. Can't say for sure I ever even met one.
Ah.. Sergeants under you. 2nd Lieutenant White. Got it.
So you actually don't believe in 1 shot 1 kill and you know it's a crock of shit but it's the standard you want civilians defending their homes from looters and rioters to use. You want to restrict their options to "exactly enough" for some hypothetical scenario that you can't define but you know doesn't take 30 rounds of ammo if they can outshoot every infantry platoon in the history of the Army.
I don't believe shit you say about your service. A person couldn't be as ignorant as you are and have served doing what you say you've done.
You can always tell the blowhards from the actual shooters, can't you. I shoot a LOT. I am real good. When I was younger I used to compete in the 3 gun matches and always did a credible job. But, in a real shooting situation the world changes. Shit happens, magazines fail, ammunition fails to fire, brass fails to eject, we practice so that when those things happen we react quickly, and properly. And. You miss. I don't miss often, but I still DO miss. That's why I have 20 and 30 round mags.
Not one of these "experts" has ever handled a gun. They don't know even the basics.
Yah, you never know when you are going to get an Elk armed with a Bazooka cornered in a Warehouse and you may need more than 15 rounds to bring him down.
Sounds like your style of hunting all right.
Sorry to break it to you but I don't feel the need for more than 15 rounds. When I hunt, more than two (and only if I wound with the first) is necessary. I like a little meat left on the bone.
Yeah, you see, that's the difference between you and me. When I hunt, I won't take the shot if I can't guarantee a one shot kill.
That's the difference between a hunter, and a novice.
I never shot when I didn't believe that I had a 100% chance of success. But there is nothing in life that is 100% successful other than ones own death. I have wounded one animal once in my life and tracked it about a mile and took that second shot. You would have let the animal go off and die a slow death and everything would have been wasted. Until you do track an animal you shot a mile to finish the job you will never understand and you are still a Rexall Ranger and always will be.
