Well, I have the mass, and the practice. It must be mental.
And yeah, it DID start with an M-14. In the 70's we still had them onboard the submarine as our mbr. M14s & Model 1911A1s. Heaven.
Fam-Fire was fun; we ran surfaced on the run back from Autec range to Port "Liquor"dale. The Stbd lookout was on the fairwater planes; and he'd chuck out a coffee can to about 25 yds out. We each had a couple of mags to dump. Most guys just sprayed & prayed; but I was trying to hit something.
With an M16 (or an UZI I tried once), I can spray. But I actually have groups on target with short bursts, rather than the patterns I get with sustained FA.
