Serious Business
 
Its time for some serious lessons on proper weapons handling under live fire.

I liked the guy with the leg warmers.

Gotta love the dude wearing his kapok in combat. Must be a member of Liberia's NSW force.:D

Target-rich environment. An M82A1, a case of ammo, and a nice rooftop.....

I wouldn't be surprised if life-jacket boy was employing juju protection. The reference below is old, but then what changes in Africa?

Glu-wein?!?
 
I am sure the Glu-wein (Spelling? 10th Group AO help!?!) I just imbibed at our Abu Dhabi X-mas party has something to do with my inability to stop laughing, but this has got to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen. :D I suppose they have never heard of the basic marksmanship principle commonly known as cant?

Thanks Terry!

You got the glue wein correct. Its hard to type an umlaut. I'm wondering if the 10th still has the fantastic Christmas parties that we had in my day. The medics made the punch with generous amounts of 180 proof. Its the only time you will l see so many SF dudes around the punch bowl.

Actually, I will take a .338 Lapua and really have fun, more accurate and easier to fire more rounds. No dust clouds to screw up follow on shots and my spotter won't hate me after each shot. :D

Heck, if that's the way they operate, you could have fun with an M-4 and an ACOG.
:cool:

Frankly, I am quite satisfied with the state of their marksmanship skills.

A Cautionary Note...
 
Somalis couldn't shoot for beans when i got there in December of 1992...they still couldn't shoot when i left in March of 1993...by October of 1993, they had apparently been through some rigorous BMT (old term?) and were rather effective...

I respectfully disagree with your conclusion.

Darwin in effect.

Those who survived were primarily those who could use cover, and shoot straight.

The others got planted. You were dealing with the survivors.
