CQB training course

[Stratton Oakmont]

Chicken wing rifle grip is non military? I’m pretty sure all ex military who trained on slr’s would beg to differ.

(I don’t include myself in that group by the way )

 

[Tackle]

I did, but I've got no idea what the chicken wing reference is, only that it makes me want kfc?

You must have been a warrior then, do you come out to play?

I do, but not as often as I'd like, I'm hoping to get my left knee replaced fairly soon, then the right as soon it can be, plus I'm being treated for prostate cancer, but again I'm hoping to complete treatment fairly soon, prognosis is good so far, & then all I've got to do is lose some timber & improve the fitness, & it's game on. 

LOL, Sounds easy when your typing it out?

Fucking hell just be glad you are getting out at all, if you were a horse you would already be mincemeat in the pet food factory.

Seriously though best of luck with all the health issues buddy and good to see you are keeping your chin up.

LOL thanks Trig, What else can you do mate, last couple of years have been tough on most peeps, but gotta soldier on, our little white "bullets" won't fire themselves?

What is all this "warrior" stuff?

As for the SLR and chicken wings, the first few seconds of this are quite interesting; this is certainly how I was taught to shoot the thing.

 

[Rogerborg]

Is that the optic from the EM-2 bullpup? Did we just throw it straight on the FN?

 

[Stratton Oakmont]

“High chicken wing” makes space in your shoulder for a high recoil rifle. You see some people dropping their arm on the full bore ranges to around 45 degrees but I wouldn’t fancy shooting anything with a decent recoil with just the bottom of the stock on the top of my shoulder a la gbrs high head position (but then I don’t have 4 stones of vanity muscles to rest it on just a mortal physique).

No idea, just found it entertaining and the noise of empty beer bottles started ringing in my head.

can you dig it?

It is indeed!

Git, I didn't get it?, wouldn't mind but I was only talking about the film a couple of days ago, a classic?

Yeah, I get the movie reference; it was the Yank(?) waffling on about "warriors", which seems to be an American thing.

I agree about the need for a more solid shoulder location when shooting high recoil weapons; a "high chicken wing" was also a more natural position for rifles before pistol grips were introduced.

In polite company, we disparage people behind their back, not to their faces.

"Warriors" is a little cringe, and "warfighters" is also entering the lexicon, but there is a need to distinguish between the people who actually shoot and sponge bullets, and the ever thiccening rump of servicemen servicepersons who count beans, run creches, and police pronouns.

Combat troops or front-line troops would seem to be perfectly good descriptions without the connotations that some people, particularly in the USA, seem to attach to "warriors".

I was not aware that this was polite society; if I have offended the gentleman, I am happy to provide him with my second's details.

As for personal pronouns, we are "encouraged" to put them in our work email signatures; this does make sense as many of the people that we deal with on a day to day basis are from Asian cultures and are uncertain as to whether some European names are male or female.  If that was the reason we were "encouraged" to use them, I would not mind too much; however, the stated reason was about ensuring that the very small minority of gender-fluid people in the organisation could be addressed by their chosen pronoun.

My initial offering on my email signature of that git, that git, that git's was rapidly rejected; my second offering of that bloke, that bloke, that bloke's has not yet been challenged .

There are only 3 pronoun sets of worth

1: He/him

2: She/her

3: It/fuckin really

Damn right, maybe I'm an old dinosaur, but the world's gone mad with this shit, thousands of years humankind has evolved, but in literally a couple of years it's all been turned on its head because a tiny tiny minority feel they don't fit in with the long established "categories", & if you can't get your head around it, your a very bad person apparently lol.

It’s easy to remember really:

dick= he

tits = she

dick + tits= he she

Yes, us Yanks are a bit odd about weapons compared to the rest of the world.
