ITT retarded range stories, I'll start

>320 range

>shot around 75 rounds by this point
>shoulder hurts like fuck
>brilliant idea
>put butt stock in the center of my chest
>fire
>mfw I had no plates in
>mfw It felt like I was going to have a heart attack
>>
Another one this time mk19
>be me AG
>qualifying range
>pickup the tray and grab a link of rounds
>start putting them in
>gunner lets the mk19 drop twords him
>still fucking loading
>tray SLAMS on my finger pinning it between the tray and plate
>yell "fuck fuck fuck fuck"
>gunner just stares at my finger doesn't move
>after like 5 seconds finally moves and lifts the tray
>remove gloves and finger is already getting purple

I got lucky it wasn't broke, that tray slammed down hard as fuck

That gunner later that day loaded a link in backwards and broke the mk19

this happened last week
>bring my new AR15 to the range while wearing my MAGA hat
>as soon as I get there, I start getting looks from people. they're probably admiring my based trump hat
>get to the firing line and start setting up my AR which I named the niggerkiller mk.777
>before I start shooting I check the area for nonwhites, okay it's clear there's only white people here. I can relax
>except there is some guy just standing there watching everyone and not shooting, but it's ok because he's white
>I start shooting magazines at my target which I think was 15 yards away
>a guy comes up and asks if he can have my "brass"
>I assume he was asking for money or something so I call him a kike and tell him to fuck off and that Trump is going to deport his jewish ass back to israel
>he walks away and starts talking to the guy who is standing around doing nothing, must be his friend
>go back to shooting
>suddenly that guy who is standing around comes over to me and asks if there's a problem
>I ask him who the fuck he is and why he's trying to give me a hard time
>he says some bullshit about that guy just wondered if I wanted to keep my brass
>I get really angry now, of course I'm not just gonna give my money to some Jew at the shooting range and his faggot boyfriend or whoever you are
>he says he's the RSO, I don't know what the fuck that means but it's probably Antifa slang for something, so I call him a cuck democrat and tell him he shouldn't even be at the range because guns are only for conservative white people
>he tells me to leave and I tell him to fuck off he's not the boss of me
>I finish shooting and leave and never go back
long story short, some Jew asked me for money while shooting and some antifa cuck "RSO" (which I learned means Revolutionary Socialist Officer) tried to kick me out of the range because I'm a Trump supporter. fucking hilarious, this is why trump won

Out shooting my rifles at the local range. Only one in town. It's evening and there's just myself and two groups.

>Two tables to my left there's two guys, one's a German on a student program here

I would've thought he would tell the guy to keep his face back. I hope he doesn't think shooting is a scary hobby now.

Hello new friends that have never been to a shooting range.
RSO actually stands for range safety officer, he's the guy that makes sure no one gets shot.
Here you just saw anon greentexting his story and painting himself out to be an autistic sperg, ironically (hopefully).
Now you should be considering lurking a year or two before posting on this board again.

The recoil from the first shell caused the gun to move just enough to reset the trigger, I have it in a death grip, trigger sets off second barrel. The damned ejector lever came back and smacked my thumb. Was both hilarious and terrifying.

This was at Oak Tree Gun Club.

I have never been to Raahauges, but I have been to Prado Olympic Shooting Park, and that place is dangerous. The staff is rude. Not for me. Around LA, the best rifle range is in Angeles Forest, up the 2. Check it out.

>>34472966
A lot of our people just suck, and view qual as a yearly dread. Most don't get to shoot enough to be proficient or calm about it. I had one of my soldiers tell me he thought he zeroed good enough to qual. His target looked like a sponge. He tried to go over my head when I forced him back out to the line to re zero as 'it took to long and wasn't worth it'. Some of it has to do with first training locations too, and the fact for the longest time we just people through, allowing them to be happy with bare minimum

You're supposed to remove mag, cycle weapon and dry fire towards the barrel half full of sand.

It still bugs the shit out of me. Is a godamn plate carrier on the range so out of place? There was an American flag and my blood type patches. Nothing cringe worthy in the least.

Half the 1st timers and idiots at the range are muzzle sweeping you 7 times an hour as it is. Not wearing a plate carrier is like being a NASCAR driver that doesn't wear a seat belt.

So you're saying you're perfectly comfortable with 10 odd people at your side firing guns with no idea about their level of competency or experience. Each with the means to accidentally end your life.Yet you think someone who wears armor to prevent such an accidental death is "weird"?

I fucking die. Body armor isn't some god mode invincibility to death. It is hedging your bets against likely shots to vital organs. It seems when God was making our bodies he included an asston of weak point.


Wearing body armor. To practice in because the thickness of the carrier absolutely changes how your shoulder and aim. Is just plain smart. If someone does have a ND down range or while you'r out changing targets. It very likely could prevent your death. We wear ear pro and eye pro. If you have bought it, why would you not include chest pro?

Maybe I don't understand this because I shoot on a private range, but I drive my truck every day with my seat belt on. I didn't have a roll cage welded into it but I could have, I guess I just assume if I flip it I'm fucked anyways so why prepare for the unlikely?

Why was the firing pin exposed at all? I'd get rid of that sks. One that can fire by just force seating the bolt. Is dangerous as fuck.

Gee anon. Why do that at all in a board where people like to carry guns for safety.

And if you had a rollcage your chances of survival increase a lot.
>>
>>34479165
>confirmed noguns

SKS has a freefloat firing pin just like an AR, if the pin gets stuck forward then it's going to fire when going into battery. This means it can also slamfire on you. This is why you always point guns in a safe direction, usually down range, when releasing the bolt.

The almighty dollar works wonders, but just because you drop 40,000 into something/someone doesn't mean it'll produce expertise. My units thought I was weird because I'd try to get to every range running, like once a month trips. They didn't understand the whole practice makes perfect thing. Most units do 't feel like shooting is on par with other tasking, or stupid requirements like a PowerPoint on not raping and killing yourself

She was in the Army and had her CAB, so I figured she knew how how to work handguns

i mean, those are bretty reasonable desu. just a murican flag and what blood type you are if you get hurt. i dunno my bloodtype
>>
>>34482620
No. It IS cringe.

IN military body armor the flag is an ID for the soldier nationality or faction and the bloodtype is only if you are knocked out and you need blood ASAP.

Its like carrying zipties and a survival knife into the range "Just cuz"

If you wanna carry a small kevlar vest with you that's fine. If you wanna carry heavy armor its odd but ok. If you wanna decorate it like if you went to war you are gonna get weird looks.

>All my friends and I duck behind a tractor/hit the deck
>"What's wrong guys?"
>"It's unloaded, I would never point a loaded gun at you guys!!!!"
>Turns to face us, gun goes off halfway through his turn, misses my fat friend by about 2 feet
>Rip the gun out of his hands, scream at him
>He got yelled at for about 2 minutes, apologized a bunch, got in his car and left

Never saw him or the guy who brought him over here ever again. Fuck them
