sigfreundWhat USMC rifle qual target is being described here?
This statement appears in another thread about changes to the Marine Corps’ rifle training and qualifications.
“The black-shirted, skull cap, sunglasses and bearded target sporting an AK-47 that Marines have grown to love to shoot will be the only target they’ll see ― from the 500 yard line to close range head shot practice.”
I’m curious what that target looks like. Various searches turn up targets that the Marines supposedly use, but none like the one described.
If you know link to it, please post it here.

gearhoundsAnytime Rogue is involved, the answer is swift, accurate, and succinct...

G-ManInteresting. For the KD (known distance) course, will there be rings outside of the black to account for scores of 4, 3, and 2 points at the 200, 300, and 500 yard lines?

MikeinNC^^looks like the left handed sniper was really firing live ammo..based on the recoil.

The correct details and realism of the movie was one of the reasons why it's one of my all time favorites as well.
