Just ask "falcon" from the airforce, "defpro" from the army, "royal" from England, and "ghost" from no military background. As a group, they’ve fired hundreds of thousands—maybe millions—of rounds, and not in cutesy ranges with paper targets. It’s been in the field, often with angry people shooting back. These guys sweat cordite and while they tend to be men of few words, when it comes to the reality of a gunfight, they had plenty View Quote |

Hmm, a fairly well-balanced article in a mainstream publication. Not perfect but by no means anti-gun. Who'd a thunk it??

-50 points for not having a "operator" named "Snake" in this article. Son I am dissapoint.

"Ghost: Take your trigger finger, bend it at the second joint without bending the first joint closest to your fingertip. That's how you apply trigger pressure. Use your first knuckle, and apply lateral pressure to the trigger while squeezing it. That forces the bullet to go to the side, off target. You don't hook the trigger, you squeeze direct pressure back toward you so the shot is true."
ETA: Eh, reading it again, it isn't that bad, but the way this shit is worded makes my head hurt. |

If you like taking combat advice from an AF cop, army pogue, Euro pogue with bad teeth, and a (maybe) civilian competition shooter who's resume is so weak that he can't use his real name. Then yes, it's a great article. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

good article If you like taking combat advice from an AF cop, army pogue, Euro pogue with bad teeth, and a (maybe) civilian competition shooter who's resume is so weak that he can't use his real name. Then yes, it's a great article. AF OSI is a little different than a cop. That would be like calling the FBI guy you talked to a Cop for a local PD. |

View Quote That's how they teach at Sig Sauer Academy. I've asked here before and it's all over the map. From a bio-mechanical standpoint, it makes perfect sense. |

How long would it take to shoot "millions" of rounds? I think loading the Mags would be the real bitch

Too many critical jobs rolled into one to be good at anything, which is why they end up playing criminal cop - it's the easiest of their missions. They're pretty good at that part. |

I really need to go back and watch that again what a great movie. The nick name is funny but the fact that he says you have to call me dragon not like my friends call me dragon is what locks it in.

Falcon, DefPro, Royal, and Ghost...
No disrespect to any of the "operators" but that really sounds like the cast from a near future first person shooter Except for Royal, he reminds me of a black dude with a Jheri curl afro and a black suit. |

Hi, I'm Dave. My friends call me Falcon. View Quote Gotta hand it to em. Falcon is the closest to an actual nickname. I love the made up nicknames. Royal, DefPro, Falcon, and.... GHOST!!!! No way bro. Nobody has a cool nickname. Especially one like DefPro or Ghost. You get a nickname for doing something fucking dumb, or one that is just generally derogatory. They never include real nicknames like: Fuchsenstein Chow-Spoon Clips Quatto Bitch-tits Puddles Squints Milk-toast Fumbles Nugget Roach-clip Ratty Carlos |
