We fired 1, 5 round magazine through a Colt ACE .22lr in Boot at Great Mistakes in 1986. That was it. Not allowed to look at the target, either.
I didn't fire for qualification until I was on board ship, M-14, (M16 lacks the oomph to throw a line), 1911A1 and both Mossberg 500 and Remington 870 shotguns. We also had 4 Ruger Service Six .38 Specials that nobody could explain...
Thank you to her for joining, but she's learn far more about how to fight the ship than how to shoot small arms. Take it from an old Gunner's Mate. Watched an RM3 panic and dump a full mag of 45ACp into the flight deck once...and watched him out there repairing the non skid, too...
