Eddo36 Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Took introductory pistol course earlier today, and am going to a more tactical course tomorrow, and I love it. Never shot a pistol before now. It's fun to have the 2nd Amendment. :D
Dark_Raven Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 You were in the Marines and never fired a handgun?????? Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Dark Moth Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 No sane person would put a gun in Eddo's hands.
Tale Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 No sane person would put a gun in Eddo's hands. Are you making a request? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Bokishi Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Eddo is a contract killer and I'm going to pay him to shoot this board up. Current 3DMark
metadigital Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Isn't there a statistic about mortality of gun-owners by their own weapons ..? " OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Hurlshort Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Is anyone else worried about Eddo going on a school rampage? I just want you to know that you are my best friend on this forum Eddo. Remember that when the shooting starts. Your BEST friend!
Dark_Raven Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 I like firearms. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Wistrik Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 *sets his arms on fire* I don't own a gun. Too many temptations to use it.
Guard Dog Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 I've always preferred rifles to handguns. Like my Winchester .300. There is just something about being able to hit a target 1500 yards away.

Dark_Raven Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 *sets his arms on fire* I don't own a gun. Too many temptations to use it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I could never own a handgun, for that reason. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

It's fun to have the 2nd Amendment. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How could you be in the Marines and never have fired a handgun? I think you were lying about being in the marines. Lying.

Eddo36 Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 This is the handgun I'm thinking of getting it before it gets banned soon one of these days. It's .50 cal and can probably go through body armor, walls, and stop cars cold when aimed at the engine. It's currently going for $1186.00 http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/sto...=-1&isFirearm=Y Though I already spent half that much on handgun classes.
Dark_Raven Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 The Desert Eagle is better. Linky. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Krookie Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Eddo, you aren't answering my question. How were you enlisted in the Marines without ever firing a handgun?
Eddo36 Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 When have I ever stated that I've been in the Marines? And if I did, when have I ever stated that I was an MP?
Krookie Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) YOU TOLD US YOU WERE IN THE MARINES LIAR Edited January 21, 2007 by Krookie
Eddo36 Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 Okay, can that air winger or someone tell him why pistol shooting isn't taught to everyone in the USMC?

Guard Dog Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) Okay, can that air winger or someone tell him why pistol shooting isn't taught to everyone in the USMC? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heh, that would be me! You fam fire (familiarization fire) the beretta 9mm during A-Line week in boot camp. Just a half a day and each recruit only gets to shoot once 10 rounds, maybe twice if you are lucky. Most of your training is in the M-16, M203, and M249. Until you become an NCO (Corporal or higher) you will not need to qualify with the pistol. But you will qualify with the M-16 every year. There are exceptions. If you are an armorer you must qualify with every weapon and your primary weapon will be the 9mm. If you get assigned to armory duty (a 30 or 60 day stint as a guard) you will need to qualify for the 9mm or the .12GA. Or both. There ae other exceptions I'm sure but those are the only ones that come to mind. After I got out of boot camp I did not even see a pistol again until I made Corporal.

Eddo36 Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 Actually you're too old school, pistol shooting isn't taught in boot camp. Nor MCT.
Guard Dog Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 I didnt know that. Do they still do A-Line week (special weapons week I think they call in in SD. A-Line is a Parris Island term)? The only weapons training we did in MCT was the M-16, SAW, and M-60. But we used those all the time.

Eddo36 Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) I don't even know what the heck A-Line or special weapons week mean. Then again I went to SD. http://www.mcrdsd.usmc.mil/RTR/RTR_Matrix.htm Edited January 21, 2007 by Eddo36
