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

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

"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.

AFOSI is terrible. 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.

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.

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
