As others have said and many who read this are wondering: why the hell don’t you shoot until it’s empty?! That’s weird. It wasn’t a .357 magnum or anything so it’s not like it hurts.. lol (went on a date once and the girl insisted on shooting that thing. I never shot one before and she only used one round, I paid for the full set of rounds so I had to shoot the other 4 or 5 left lol little tender on the wrist after that one!)
Sad that the military only trains rifle for these people. Budget cuts, yatta yatta I get it but in the military regardless of your station I would think you should be able to shoot a pistol or a rifle.
I’m glad the situation didn’t turn out worse but that guy got a fast lesson in what not to do. It was a safe lesson (considering nobody got hurt) thankfully, but one I’m hoping he never forgets! It’s crazy what we think of, that not only someone could have gotten worse but we fear the shit the media would spin to make it worse. Fucking media!
Yeah, he didn't have a reason for that, but in truth he should have had the presence of mind to drop the mag, eject the chambered round etc. Dumbass. (him I mean.)
Yeah, the Army focus on what's issued and general infantry are not issued sidearms mostly. It's amazing how many of these people come to the range with zero idea other than what they've seen on TV. I shit you not.
Shootings at ranges like mine often mean closure so rules are often strict and stringently enforced to mitigate the potential for problems. That's why this chap was treated so brutally. He deserved it, as would I had I made the error.
