I'm confused. How do you completely miss the target with a Sub-2000 at 75'? I've never shot one, but are they really that bad?
No, but the shooter in that post was!
i love the exaggerating shooter

Those who would bash Air Force Security Forces...
Obviously you've never studied the history of a certain deranged airman with an AK clone at the Fairchild AFB hospital a few years back.
The SP who stopped him did so at a range of 75 yards, with a Beretta M9. While you armchair commandos paint, with broad brushstrokes, an evaluation of an entire branch of military service based on one wannabee's need for attention, there are those individuals who know how to shoot effectively under fire, and have demonstrated that ability in no uncertain terms.

Is not correct. I know one of the SP that were there. It was a running chase that ended up near some heavy machinery and the bad guy was hiding in the bucket of a front end loader. The SP put his gun around the corner and shot the guy between the eyes. He did not use the sights nor did he do it at 75 yards. He did it at about 7 feet.
The SP that made the shot then went on for his choice of duty station and got a DD.

I remember the time i was a shootin' down to the range and dang if i didnt miss the target and shoot right over the top of it, well 2 hours later i was a standin' there when all of a sudden that round comes a zippin' by my ear and hits the target smack dab in the bullseye! That round had gone AAALLLLL the way around the earth just to come back and hit the target,,,

Senior Airman Andrew Brown's accomplishment
has become somewhat of an urban legend then, according to the newspaper reports I read from the Spokane area around that time. (Being a B-52 aircrew dawg and all, I had just been TDY there before the incident). Newsprint and victim websites reported Airman Brown's interdiction shot at distances ranging from 200 feet to 75 yards. Security forces talked about the shooting for quite some time afterwards, as well as his Airman's Medal and Col. Billy Jack Carter Award. Now, who to believe? And SrA Brown got Dishonorably Discharged afterwards?

Some people!
The guy who does some light gunsmithing work at my local range is one heck of a good shot. He's the quiet type and never brags about it, but his thrill in life is to embarrass the socks off some mall-ninja that can't shoot for beans.
The part that gets me laughing every time is when one of these prancing, self-aggrandizing morons waltzes in with a new HK or Glock and proceeds to shoot crappy group after crappy group. Invariably they will come back in the showroom complaining (loudly) that it has to be something wrong with the gun. After all, THEY are crack shots who never miss!
My friend, with his most serious face on, will look over the gun for a few minutes, and then ask if he can fire it a couple of times to check it out (he always sets the target at the same distance as the goof-bucket shooter, just to make it more obvious). The usual result is a off-hand group that most of us couldn't top on our best day from a bagged rest. He'll walk back to the range (still wearing his serious-face) and hand the gun back to ninja-boy. "Seems to be fine."
As soon as the flustered wannabe gets out the door everybody busts out lauging.

i found that impressive.

Not at all. I regularly make double-tap head shots at 1200 yards with mine.
Seriously, they're fun little plinkers out to 100 yard or so.

It's funny--I knew a guy who came up with all sorts of wild stories, told with the utmost sincerity.
But that was in the third grade.
(Hey, pale horse--the dragon comes in the niiiiiight!)
