Inexplicable Wounds made by Special Bullets
#54
Drew Phipps Wrote:From military.com Marine Corp basic description:

"Marksmanship training teaches you the fundamentals of marksmanship with their M-16A2 service rifle. This training takes place over two weeks, the first of which is called Snap-In Week. During this week, you are introduced to the four shooting positions (standing, kneeling, sitting and prone) and a Primary Marksmanship Instructor shows you how to fire, how to adjust your sights, how to take into account the effects of the weather, etc. You also have the opportunity to fire on the Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Training machine. During the second week of marksmanship training, you actually fire a known-distance course with ranges of 200, 300 and 500 yards."

and this:

"Field Firing Range (FFR)
FFR is a portion of training devoted to firing weapons in a field condition. During marksmanship training, you learn how to fire at a single target while in a stationary position. During FFR you learn how to fire at moving and multiple targets, while under low-light conditions and wearing your field protective (gas) mask."

Of course these are descriptions of the current Basic training.

Hmmm, they shoot at moving targets, but there is no mention of shooting from six storeys up.
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
