American Rifleman on TV

[Bill Hollinger]

I remember back in the sheriff's academy they mentioned the FBI used to teach the first shot to the groin. The idea was the suspect would involuntarily double over. Ha Ha! Sounds good I guess.

When I was in the Army Reserves, we had to qualify with the carbine. Guy next to me had an M2, and clueless. Prone rapid was "commence firing"---brrrrp!---"Cease fire, whatinhell was that?!!" Target came up with 1 nine, one up at the right corner of the paper, and the rest over the berm.

I can't find it now, but I've seen a kid firing his grandfather's M2 on Youtube. He's no older than 11. He fires sporadically until empty, changes mags, racks the first round (almost forgets to do that) and then fires again. His grandfather is right behind him ready to give a hand, but he gets through it.
