A day at the Range: Part 1


Show me your KILL face



Uhmm... prone UN supported

The Mungadai recently had a day away from the normal grind and went to the small arms range. Any day you get paid to go fire weapons with free bullets is a good day. And fire weapons we did, almost 500 rounds per Mungadai! We started off with the M4 rifle and then fired our M9 9mm pistols. Once that was complete we alternated between them both with transition drills. Fire a controlled pair with your rifle and going to a controlled pair with your pistol etc..., good stuff. Once that was complete we climbed onto our MRAPs to fire the M240B 7.62mm machine gun mounted on top at the gunners station. What could be better? Tank live fire, but in the mean time I guess machine guns will have to fill the void.
We have another range scheduled soon so stay tuned for "The Range part 2".
