A little trigger time today. (56K death)

Headed out with a relative who is in special forces at Ft. Lewis to take in the family day events at the range (ex ranger, and yes, a "real operator"). I pulled my oldest boy out of school so that he could get a little trigger time as well. Weapons fired today included the following:

M4 simunitions (paintball gun with no rear sight, so no pics)
M9




MP5 and MP5SD. The SD was pretty darned quiet, but a little smokey.







M203 grenade launcher with paint






(Hunter was a better shot with the M203)

M4


M240







M249 SAW

Nothing is better than father and son, side by side, with SAW's.

(Can't get the last two vids to rwork for some reason.)


Kick ass day. Thanks Master Sgt!

Ryan gets a cute little puppy and Hunter gets to go to Bad Ass School. Fair trade.

Dude I'm so jealous!

Vids aren't working for some reason, I cant wait to see them!

Great pics!

Dad & son SAW's

What a great experience for you guys. I miss days at the range at Fort Lewis (well at least when it wasnt raining). I miss the toys sometimes. To bad they did not have a mounted M2 Browning .50 for you guys to rock an roll with. Another fun one is the M209 fully automatic grenade launcher but looks like you were on one of the small arms ranges.

Cool pics

Soooo cool. Sounds like a good day out of school.

Looks like a great day !

Sweeeeeeeeet ! ! ! That is one of the big (and maybe only) things I miss from my time in. The SAW is a sweet little mg, I put many thousands of rounds through mine. Was kick ass when they finally let us carry them doing livefire building clearing. That will clear a room in a hurry.
Looks like you boys had a blast.

Hey DogFish, who is your family member/Master Sgt? I may have known him.

Too damn cool Dad

It looks like he is shooting the sidearm left-handed, but the longarms right-handed? I ask only because my Dad had me screwed up learning to shoot left handed cause I am, but after years of not hitting the broadside of a barn I discovered I was right-eye dominant.......still can't hit the broadside of the barn either, but I'm getting closer

Holy cow, you may never see Hunter without a smile from here on out!!

Three greatest words in the English language...Family Range Day!!

He's pretty much ambidextrous, shooting, throwing, writing, with both left and right. He switches it up from time to time. Great with a rifle either side, but he is better with a pistol in his left hand.

Cool! Good job Dad!

Captain

Hankster, with your holiday avatar, I'd just like to say:




Sounds like Hunter would make a great point guard if he can use both hands!

Wow.

If there ever was a reason to hate you and your boy, this is it.

+Jealous X 1 million!

Very coooooooool!!!!!



PS. Can I be "related" to you for next years event?

That looks like a ton of fun!!

Keith

Awesome!

That rocks!

What a great thing to provide and share as a dad! That lucky kid for sure.

Nice field trip Dad,way to go looks like fun.Good luck,
