Quantum breasts, Iran, shocking videos, “Oh my god, no!”, perils of socialized medicine, milk in a bag, “What, you believed a politician’s promises?”, Guantanamo: “Why didn’t we just shoot them in the first place.”, THAT guy that stood downrange.
Something to offend everyone.

The purpose of being downrange during a shoot is to learn how the supersonic snap travels at right angles to the bullet flight … soldiers need to learn to not look towards that snap when trying to figure out where the round is coming from.
The military does it the same way the NRA does … by putting troops down in the traps to raise/lower the target stands and paster them.

If you don’t have proper target traps, you don’t do this. Putting some moron in a foxhole and shooting past him is just fail.
Oh, and I’ll never think of a tip jar the same way again.
