Thanks, I'm telling myself it's not a problem, just something that happens when you get my age. I was told I don't even need to have a driver to get home afterwards. It should be minor, gulp, trivial...no problem, nope, none at all!

Joe best skills are Auto-Pistol-2 and Shotgun-2 (I think that's any long gun and any pistol as our Ref is playing it), so he probably should be helping Mick with the overwatch while others more skilled deal with the repairs. Unless a mechanical repair turns out to be needed...then he's the one with the Mechanics-1 skill that no one else has.
18mm HE are available.
It is ...Thumper wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:40 pm A 12 recoil for a 12 ga seems high. Everybody on a sporting clays range routinely rapid fires between shots to hit two clays in one round using 12 or 20ga. A 12 recoil for a 12ga means even Mick, with a bonus in each stat (St, Dex, and End) could not fire once per round.
Yes, they are.Thumper wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:28 pm The weight of the 12mm rifles is nearly twice that of Micks 11mm Trophy hunting rifle. Do the 12mm have bi-pods? The Tri-bores will be only slightly lighter. These St Oyland guns are big and heavy despite being constructed of composites.
For reference, the Barret 50cal military sniper rifle is around 13mm and weighs in at 10kg, and is close to the limit of practical man-portablity in the field.
Thank you for the info.Thumper wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 8:56 pm Um, I’ve taught lots of experienced rifle and handgun shooters to shoot clays. It takes a while to learn to even hit the first. Moving vs still targets are very different.
But yes, the second is more frequently missed than the first. Gotta rush to have a chance to hit both…in-range flight times are about 3 seconds or less. When you become proficient, it becomes kind of instinctive rather than leading and aiming. There are no naturally good bird shooters. It’s a learned skill…not a taught skill.
Believe it or not, my kids’ single-shot youth sized .410 kicks harder than my over-under 12ga. Powder to wight ratio. So, I totally get the “Hot load” = bigger kicks concepts.
I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate that I flew your CAS/overwatch...My limited shooting experience involved "people", so I avoid shooting real guns these days [that was another life I left behind].
I had a run on the other side of the law ... gangs, arsonist, interstate drug smuggler (that sort of life leading to an early death) ... God intervened and told me that effective immediately, I belonged to HIM (road to Damascus stuff). So I left that life behind, went to college to study Architecture, and never looked back. I only mention it if people ask (or if I meet someone that thinks whatever they did is too terrible to be forgiven ... I set my enemies on fire and God forgave me).
My first time shooting a shotgun was on a clay range. It was nuts, I couldn't miss. It was some of the best shooting I've ever done. Of course I did miss sometimes, but my friends were prepared to completely dog me. I surprised everyone, me included. Somehow my body was just wired that day to track and shoot. It was like some real world video game.Thumper wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 8:56 pm Um, I’ve taught lots of experienced rifle and handgun shooters to shoot clays.

Did that high hit percentage last, or was that just beginner's luck?Hvalreki wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 8:57 pm

Shotgun shooting reminded me more of Bow and Arrow marksmanship. Rifle shooting for me was mostly all about technique (lifetime glasses wearer) and I was a great shot back in the day. With the shotgun and the bow I aimed and shot more by "feel", It's hard to explain.
Somebody got some Force Protection Training...or was a diplomat"Standard - conduct a field vehicle search:
Use an improvised mirror device to search the undercarriage and other areas that are difficult to
see.
While conducting the search look for any electrical wires that seem out of place or any unidentifiable foreign objects.
Etc....
