Take the guy who shined shoes in NYC before enlisting. Give him basic military rifle training and he will swear to his dying day that the M16 bullet rises when it leaves the muzzle. He was taught that, and after growing up without ever touching a firearm he actually hit targets at 450 yards using his training.
He KNOWS what he's talking about.
Never mind that the reactive target was huge, and dropped the same for a marginal hit as it did for a center punch.
I actually went through basic with the guy depicted above. He enlisted for a clerical job, but boy was he proud of that rifle.
But I also went through basic with Robert from Georgia. Grew up shooting and had incredible eyesight. Never any doubt that he could handle a rifle. I assumed that I'd be the best shot in my basic training unit. I was disillusioned.
Skipping bullets into them was the best lol.. when I went through basic, we had a fella from New York City. He spent two days on the zero range ph ucking drill sergeants were beside themselves. I was zeroing right next to him on day two. 3 Drills on him one was laying down watching him and that’s when the show kicked off. Jesus H Chris one the drill that was laying dow. Yelled this dumb mother [bleep] is closing his eyes Everytime he pulls the trigger. I was like holy ph uck I’m glad that isn’t me. 12 shots I was zeroed and got the hell off the range.
