US Army What The Fuck Moments

Facebook/Social Media page which posts all the dumb things which happen when you take a bunch of 18-24 year olds and leave them without adult supervision for a couple...

breach guns don't have stocks.

I'll drive over an inspect it one of these days.

If you don't want to spring for an Aimpoint (and if you aren't using it for work, why would you?) the Primary Arms Micro Dot @ $170 is great.

I went with one for my basic AR and have been really...

For a while you could get a free lower with purchase of a suppressor

Shotguns are for breaching and shooting ducks.

Carbines and pistols for indoor social work with less redecorating and opportunities for home improvement. Unfortunately, many women lack the upper...

Frog lube frog lube frog lube.

Never had a weapon caused malfunction in my personally owned and/or maintained gats using frog lube. I don't get too crazy witch cleaning either. Clear of major...

Seattle doesn't need any more passive aggressive pussies.

No Ranger units in the Guard

the National Guard has just about every type of unit. There are multiple infantry divisions and BCTs in the guard, as well as two Special Forces groups.
I'm Infantry.

Right now I work out and ski as much as possible. In a weak I'll be running MOUT live fire training.

I switch between being a NG Bum and Ski bum.

GDs have a smoother recoil which is nice for quick follow up shots, especially in tight spaces. I'm not a sniper, anytime I'm shooting they come in pairs. GDs are also extremely low penetration, and...

If your looking a for a good social work round I'd recommend Gold Dots, Ranger-T, or FMJs depending on your environment and threat analysis. Personally, the first 9 out the door will be GDs, after...

I don't know about 9mm, but most everything else is decently inexpensive right now, down to around pre-sandyhook prices.

I'm not a fan of 'point shooting.' Always get a sight picture. Learn to get a quick sight picture. You'll only kill the people you want to, and are more likely to kill the person you want to. Just...

well that would be fuckin stupid

I just got my new IWB holster from Leavenworth Skier, and it is awesome.

Going to be getting more from these guys in the future.
gunfightersinc.com

nice write up on soldiersystems for leavenworthskier's new holster, which got me to look at their site. How much and lead time for a Wraith to match an M&P 45c?

I haven't opened my bottle of #9 since I got my hands on some frog lube CLP.

Where did you shoot an A3? Those are mystical creatures.

M16A1, A2, A4, C7, C8, M4, M4A1

For night sights inside the house... just turn the lights on. I'd suggest setting your house so you...

The EoTech is much faster on target for most folks. The big issue with Eotech (unless they have fixed it) is battery life. Aimpoints go a lot longer on a battery. With the cheaper Aimpoint ~$400,...

Stoked: Just ordered a few hundred rounds of BlackHills 77gr SMKs. Going to re-zero the rifle once they show up.

Gats in the safe, mags and ammo in a metal lock box similar to what you see on construction sites. Safe space is limited, and there are more valuable/hard to replace items than ammo.

Jer,

What are you getting with the subsonic .260? I am thinking my next long gun will be in .260, and the idea of a subsonic round sounds good.

If anyone is a class III, has some spare cash, and wants a good deal: http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&itemid=658&acctid=1600

I love shooting a suppressed M4A1, but I guess 3 rnd...

Outdoor Emporium in Seattle quoted me $11 for a box of 5.56. Thanks but no thanks.

Celebrated being an American by shooting quite a bit of 5.56 and .45 yesterday. Was able to get 2 in clays at 50-75 yards with my AR. Thinking of getting an optic (probably EOtech) for it this...

That sounds like an awesome shop. I wish there were more shops like that here, Sounds like a cool idea. Main store front with a 50m range out back to test things like ammo, stocks and optics. Be...

200m and under and ya want magnification? Take a couple of steps forward. I can't stand much magnification under 200. Makes follow on shots a little more difficult.

If you don't like eotech, the aimpoint pro ($400) is a good option. Durable, and you can mount it pretty far forward.

If you want to ship the guns out of the state you will need to ship them through someone who holds an FFL (typically a gun shop) on both ends of the shipment.

PPG is right, 6ft and I will be breaking contact, and making space before I pull a gun. Most people, never having experienced combat, do not understand the ferocity it takes to attack someone with a...

Only lasers I have ever used are IR.

Point shooting is fucking stupid, and a good way to kill something you were not planning on killing. I guess it works for teh air soft games though, wouldn't...

When were you buying a 1000 rds of 223 for $190?

Nice looking gat.

Some of them fancy highly tuned custom 1911s have been known to have problems with them. I have never had any trouble running them through a colt officers model, but its stock.

.22LR is even more unobtanium than 5.56 round here.

DHS is fucking stupid, but I don't believe the Army only use 350~ rounds per soldier per year.
Using JHP for training should be a firing...

$11 for a box of PMC 55gr is resonable?

In August I was paying $6.50! Glad I bought a few.

Is there any evidence of rounds being delivered to the Gooberment? Or is it still just speculation based on the requests made last year?

Whatever gun you decide to use for home defense (or anything outside of range shooting) you need to train (seek out the good trainers in your area or fly down to CSAT in TX and learn from the best)...

Isn't that the truth,

Saturday was the first day I had been to a public range in a while, yup, but of circus (all perfectly safe). My favorite memes from the day:
- Was the fat old guy who had...

Anyone been to a range recently and not had to listen to some dude loudly tell anyone how the Liberals are coming for your guns?

Ya, I'd would not recomend it inside of the 9810x zip codes. But plenty of places to the North South East and West, where the neighbors would appreciate it if you kept it quite.

.300 is an awesome round, and works really well for the ranges most people use their ARs (sub 300m). Suffers at longer ranges. If you get it suppressed, the subsonic ammo is quite enough to shoot in...

If anyone from CO don't want more Pmags, let me know.

If I was woried about the goberment I'd get me a 30-06, and slap a nice optic on it. That way I am out shooting all the small arms of the US army save .50s and the new 300 Win Mag.

I'd also get a...

Naw, it just moves >350 jobs and $85m out of Colorado and into Wyoming or Montana.

Anyone shoot the XDs? I originally wrote it off based in .45 in the barrel length, but am thinking about it after hearing some strong reqs.

Just from first, and second hand (pictures, and written reports) on the terminal ballistics of various rounds and bullets on people and animals (that were living when shot).
