Trooper Hale said:Aint nothing like a good blank "Yippee" shoot! Especially with a Minimi (C9) or a MAG 58(C6). You just lie there, dig it into your shoulder and enjoy it as much as possible. Theres no pressure to shoot a certain grouping or to pass anything, you just take your position and attack the "enemy", trying to prove that you know your job. Sure you've got to clean the gear and it takes ages but having a good ambush, whether your being "shot" at or your doing the shooting makes up for it in spades. Plus its not like cleaning is the worst chore in the world, you just switch to "auto pilot" and do it like you've done it countless times before.
I mean where else can you have bad guys shooting at you, you doing your job AND with no chance of actually dying? We could discuss it with the Afghans but i'm pretty they'll stick with their live rounds. Blank shooting is usually a blast, its great training and good fun. And anyway, its not as if your not going to clean your weapon anyway!
Hey Hales, we got Rat Rowe up doing ASLAV instruction. Do you know him? Off to the Fd til the 24th on Monday.
Cheers,
