Best advice in the thread.

It prevents that all too common occurrence where a soldier has the most trigger time on, say, a Remington 700 but somehow ends up with, say, a Savage 110 and he is shouting over the din of the enemy's machine gun fire: "How do I even operate this thing?". You, more familiar with the Savage 110's controls, are miming how to pull its trigger to make it fire, which end the bullets come out of, how to operate its action by manipulating the bolt.

You watch in horror as he is vaporized by a rocket from a passing helicopter, never having effectively fought.
