Death by Stupid

[Curval]

GS....are you trying to go "full lazs" here?  Manly man stuff?

I simply told a story and you try and ridicule it.  It happened to me, I can see it easily happening to a kid.  That is the point I was making.

No not manly man, but you obviously needed a lot more instruction before handling a full auto firearm. Just like that 9 year old girl. And for a 20 year old there really aren't any excuses for letting a pistol calibre SMG run away like that. There's a reason the range officer screamed at you. No offense.

As a friend of mine likes to say... "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

While I agree with you that more training is certainly necessary, to ridicule an individual for losing control of a firearm they were not properly trained on nor experienced with is just as foolish for you. For those of us with plenty of experience with firearms, these may be tame. You or I may be able to pick up a full-auto firearm and keep it under control, because we know what to expect and have the muscle memory for firearms already built up. Put a beginner on a gun without properly instructing them, and even an AR-15 will feel uncontrollable. That would be akin to laughing at someone saying a mustang is a very easy car to drive, after they told you how terrifying it was to run a GT through the autobahn at full speed the day they got their learner's permit. Your perspective and his are very different; that doesn't make his any less valid.

LOL

It was in the ARMY dude.  Is that enough "instruction" for you?

Now what....the British Army officer that was training us didn't know what he was doing? 

I was selected for the NCO team that shot our rifles against the Marines, Canadinas, Brits, SWAT etc. at the end of that Camp.

I think they did ok.

Yeah, let's let the 9 year old shoot an Uzi full auto after popping just one test shot. Unfortunately those are new famous last words now.
