sorry I should have elaborated on it more.
when they guy is standing 25 yards from you wearing tan bdu with a tan t shirt and tan boots like hes a marine (could be, or maybe not) with an ar-15 and starts right off the rip dumping a 30rd mag maybe even bigger into the hillside and I see the spray going about 5-6ft around his target then it gets a little unnerving.
my buddy does this every time we go out, he wont sight his guns in and just slings lead as fast as he can and everyone looks at us like what the hell?
he did this with his AR, just stand up from the bench and sprayed the hillside. I said what was the point in that? ahhh its a combat gun its made to do that, um yeah if you are playing x box or something. I get it its fun and they haven't pointed a gun my way but one time but imo it makes people look bad. this range has a lot of guys that have 2k bolt guns and try and shoot tiny groups or check developed loads but when someone opens up like a tommy gun it takes your attention off what your doing. I have a guy right next to me shooting a 308 and it didn't bother my until Rambo dumped 2 30rds in 3 seconds.
when I see these guys I get a little nervous cause they want to brag how they are ready to fight isis, korea, whoever and the govt can come get some, etc. imo when at a public place and you walk in there like your going to war and dump 500rds in a matter of 5 minutes there's something wrong. if im at my buddies lets get it done and light up some stuff because its just me and him but with other people around have some consideration for safety and making people nervous.
I did have one time 2 guys who looked like gang bangers light up the same range, well it started raining and they packed up and got in the car so I walked down and put a target up because no one was using that area. I get half way down and I hear the bolt on an AR slam shut and turn around and see the guy messing with the gun while im down range so I yell to my buddy did I just hear a chamber slam shut? someone's about to get kicked out. I get back to the bench and I said are you guys ready cause we weren't. the guy thinks hes a real hard ass cause hes got a handgun on and a bounty hunter badge, then sprays the hillside. now tell me is this real life training? I have LEO firearms training and we are taught to shoot rapid fire for some drills but also make sure you hit whatever your aiming at because when you get all hopped up and do a mag dump muzzle rise and recoil is going to throw you off target and you can hurt someone else or worse. we train tac tac or double tap then hold on target to see if the threat is still engaging you. I don't think these guys are mag dumping for training, they are mag dumping saying look how bad ass I am with my AR, and army gear on. military and police don't go to the range looking like they are ready to go to war.
