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.
