Be me in army
mandatory in my shitty country
first time we noob soldiers fire our guns
we lay in the ground and get ready
drill instructor yells "are you ready?"
i yell back "ai ai captain"
random guy two rows away yells " i cant hear you" drill instructor mad and tries to find out who mocked him
i yell again "oooooo"
random guy shots a rock 10 meters in front of him from laughter ( the target was 300 meter away)
dust rises up and one general runs and screams at drill instructor
we march back to camp 10 kilometers instead of driving
i am attending the "i cant hear you" guy wedding next week
They're shooting for the first time and the targets are 300m away?
Seems plausible from my own shooting drill experience. But the targets are a bit bigger than you are probably imagining.
I think rookie privates are starting out at 80 to 150 meters with most of their shots.
You are probably overestimating the quality of the training conscripts in anons shitty country receive. Also, for me that was over 30 years ago, so maybe your are right, I'm a little hazy on the details. But two things i remember clearly: a) the targets where gigantic and b) nobody even checked if we actually landed a shot.
I was just guesstimating from memory, am sure you’re right also. I know the 300 meter targets are there, of course, but I think most shots are taken at closer targets. (If for no other reason than they’re distributed among multiple targets from short range out to the long one.)
