I guess that would make this one rule 6.<br /><br />Dantesfiringrange: I have fired more than a few blanks and they can kick up a surprising amount of dirt, but alas I fear that in this particular case the "Instruction ninja" was probably firing live ammo. Without a blank firing attachment (often called a BFA) most semi-auto weapons (esp gas operated ones) will not cycle.<br /><br />I couldn't get a good enough look at the "instruction ninja"s weapon to ID it, so it is possible that I am wrong. One can only hope. But in this case, I highly doubt it. <br /><br />Either way, this kind of horse play does not belong on a range at all. Even a blank can kill you at that short range should he accidentaly pull the trigger when the rifle is pointed at the wrong place. I understand what they are trying to accomplish as far as training to be an effective fighter in a high stress environment, but in my experience (as if I really had much, 6 years USMC) that isn't something that can be taught by making someone do pushups and shoot while a crazy man is pushing and kicking you around while firing near you in an unsafe manor. It is something one comes to when you internalize the knowlege that shooting aimed shots and killing the enemy before he kills you is the ONLY way to survive.<br /><br />s<br /><br />PS.

They remind me of the 1st degree Black Belt who gets fed up that, “they aren’t teaching me to beat someone down in the street.” So he starts his own dojo where he teaches “real world” fighting and staying in condition Orange even in your sleep.<br /><br />Oh, having never used rifle round blanks, please tell me they can kick up that much dust from the distances the instructor was hitting the ground. Please? Not that blanks at that range wouldn’t be bad news to a noggin’.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-13600197244404409072010-03-09T12:58:50.295-05:002010-03-09T12:58:50.295-05:00Two words.

It was his opinion that schools that tried this attitude in training would not last long. It's not likely that a brain surgeon, airline pilot, attorney, or any other professional is going to put up with that. And the average person who has saved for years to attend a school to improve their skills is not looking this type of abuse on their once in a lifetime shooting vacation.<br /><br />He was also concerned about these schools have insurance.......<br /><br />Rickrremingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07700598824835257409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-70234920608340654272010-03-09T10:24:58.352-05:002010-03-09T10:24:58.352-05:00IIRC, the last time this went around, it was decid...IIRC, the last time this went around, it was decided this was a bunch of South African contractors in Iraq doing some homework.
