Hey, no disbelief here. Army pistol qualification includes 50 meter targets, too. What did you think of the rifle and pistol?



Is that the boonie the recruiter got you?

Yep, that's the same hat, alright. The First Sergeant at the recruiting station got it for me straight from Iraq. Full mil-spec save for no rank insignia on the front. This was my first time shooting a semi-auto handgun; the only pistol I had fired before was a Ruger Speed Six in .357 Magnum with a 2" barrel. Ended up getting a mark between my thumb & trigger finger and nearly lost control of the weapon because I was using an incorrect grip at the time, but I know better now as you can see here. As for the AR-15, this was actually my second time using one; my dad used to have one as well. His was exactly like the M16A2 except the bayonet lug was deleted and it also had the safe/semi-only trigger group. He also had a Leupold scope mounted on the carry handle. I really loved that gun, and got to where I could hit within an inch of a dead-center 10 at 100 yards on my cold shot. The AR I fired for my birthday was more of a carbine configuration with a 16" barrel, flat-top upper reciever, ACOG scope, no iron sights (had a quad-rail gas block with no front sights on it), and a RIS handguard. I actually have a couple of videos of me firing both the Glock and the AR-15 on Youtube. My sister fired both guns as well, and did pretty good despite never having fired a weapon in her life, though she did have a misfire with the Glock; seems the firing pin didn't strike the primer so it didn't discharge. I cleared the round and found a small, shallow denting on the back of the casing, but the primer had not been struck. After we cleared that misfire, the Glock seemed to work perfectly afterwards.
