They try to prepare you as much as possible with all kinds of "live fire" drills. The rounds are real and so are the explosions but you know that they are not really aimed at you and you are not going to die but you do develop certain reflexes which are helpful. Often in a platoon less than 50% actually return fire and in many cases it is less.
As best I can explain something inside snaps and you decide that it is a me or him situation and I want to go home. The men you are shooting at become non-men, just objects. One becomes less than sane. It happens gradually and one ceases to think about it, as chaos become normalcy.
I posted this before but my first "shoot-out": We were walking along a trail in what was suppose to be a rear secure area so we were just diddly-boping along enjoying the scenery (dumbasses we were). Suddenly around a curve in the trail appeared a VC patrol. We all froze and just looked at one another for what seemed like a long time. Finally someone had the wit to fire a round and in a second all h*ll broke loose and we all turned and ran in the opposite diretion shooting over our shoulders. Think I ran for 5 km before I stopped for clean pants

Agreed!
Sad truth of the matter is first, the sights. No one uses them. Secondly, it advertises a holster. "Aint nobody gots time for dat"...unless you consider a jacket pocket or waist-band a holster...
And last of all...it's advertising all of this as "buyable" products. They rarely buy anything. Well, ok, perhaps they "buy" some of thier stuff, but's already stolen and they're paying with money that got from the local pawnshop for the big-screen they scored in a local burglery...

Do it right, Mike. Machine in a dove tail so you can adjust for windage.

Alas, no lathe. I'll just adjust for average wind and directon. You're not REALLY suppose to HIT anything/body are you (except by chance, of course)??

i did see a 1911 that was modified to full auto. it has a "T" handle coming off in the vicinity of the rear site (coming off of the frame not the slide ). basically it was so you could hold the gun like a jack hammer and to fire it you would be holding it "gangtsa" style. it did have the sites on the side of the slide. I thought it was a jogn dillinger design but i just tired to look up to post a pic and i cant see it in the NFA collection of his guns at the FBI. he was an excellent gun smith and made a few full auto 1911s in his time...but the one i was thinking of isnt one of them i guess.

1911 - Full auto? didn't seem very fast, more like he was just pulling the trigger rapidly. The was a U-tube post on a Bump-fire 1911 that shot the same rate but he hooked his thumb in his belt loop and thus shot from the waist. Full-auto .22 with all the Fed red tape and tax hardly seems worth it but does look like fun.
For about $300 you can still get the Slide-Fire stock for the M-16, very close to real full auto and no tax BS from the Fed but with .223 at $0.50 to $1per round expensive shooting

Hickcock45(YouTube name) has a pretty good reputation when it comes to shooting,has a ton of videos out at his private range shooting just about everything and gives a down to earth opinion..I would hate to be the one loading that .22lr "belt" thou..
