Just wondering

I was just wondring if perhaps some of you here would be willing to train some of my associates in the use of firearms?

Most of them know how to shoot but have had no formal training and could use it. As stated before if you gave me a gun I would probably end up hurting myself as I tend to rely on my natural abilities and my sword I am not asking for myself but those that I work with.

You need to be more specific.

You want shooting lessons or you want tactics, too - shooting off hand, one handed, in darkness - or something special?

Holister · Post by **Holister** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 2:10 pm

Sure thing GD.

I still owe ya' one from Maine a few months back. Send whoever ya got my way. I can show them small arms, long arms, automatics, sniper skills, weapons maintenance, and even basic gunsmithing.

I specialize in rifles and sniping myself, and my side arm skills aren't too bad either.

I will do the whole speal from the Enfield M1-A1 up to the HK models, and even the heavy caliber tact rifles like the Destroyer and my personal favorite the 350. 50 RAI.

Well, is that good enough a resume for ya'. ;D

Both as they are usually having to shoot in my general direction when we fight the things that prey on the innocents. As for off hand, one handed, in darkness, or something special what ever you think would be best. You have to remember I know very little about the use of fire arms. all I know is you point it at the enemy and hopefully they die.

i am just a little tired of having to replace body armor after a fight do to "friendly" fire.

Oh One of my colleages suggested that I get something called Dragon hide armor, not sure what he was talking about anyone know?

There are plenty of tactical schools in the States that you can find; sometimes sponsored by big gun manufacturers, too.

Especially in your area, I would think.

Greydawn · Post by **Greydawn** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 3:14 pm

Thank you, Mr. Kolya I will have them check into it.

Mr. Hollister, if I can't get the training they need in OK then I will be in touch about sending them your way.

And Just so Mr. Caliburn knows none of the people I work directly with or employ are light sensitive, have multiple personalities, or turn fuzzy. So they are not going to be training any monsters.

sure thing

Once I get back into the panhandle of Texas, I might be able to be available for training. I can train pistols, rifles, shotguns, tactics, speed draw/shoot. I can also teach some sharpshooting basics.

I also do night shooting, but I've never really tried to teach it. Mostly its just from what night training I've done. (Which is extensive, considering as much Ninjutsu as I've done.)

But yeah, usually Smith & Wesson, Hessler & Kolch, and a lot of other companies out there offer training in all these fields, as do a lot of gun ranges offer classes.

Razor, for a moment I thought you might be Sasha... gun-toting ninja.

pirates beware (I'm practically an American)...

Razor · Post by **Razor** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 4:34 pm

I don't like flashlights though... not nearly as much anyway... though I have been caught staring into the lit end for quite some time before.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 4:36 pm

hell, I needed that laugh..

Razor · Post by **Razor** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 4:47 pm

I don't know why I do that... it ruins my night vision.. but sometimes... its just so SHINEY!!

(Great, IQ of 160+ and I act like a typical retard sometimes... but then again we all have to take a break from being so rational and serious sometimes)

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 4:49 pm

Yea, too bad Intelligence is not the same thing as Wisdom

Razor · Post by **Razor** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 4:50 pm

OMFG AMEN! Luckily I have a fairly good amount of that too. I seem to always find the way when others are stuck, at least with the people that are around me. And I don't deal with/hang out with stupid people.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 5:06 pm

If you ever meet Sasha, better not drink vodka... or I will probably find you two sitting at a table - he shining the light in your eyes. Probably start something like this

"Hey I got something in my eye."

"Let me have a look." *click*

And then it just sort of stays there until someone comes along.

- or -

"Hey wanna look at one of my flashlights?"

"Sure."

And then it just sort of stays there until someone comes along.

- or - something else........

FYI, I am sitting in Nalchik airport waiting on Natasha.

Of course, her flight is late. They always are. I hate flying.

*sigh*

I'm liscenced to instruct on all sorts of stuff like that at least I am at the momment). As usual my products and services are at cost to society members.

Dragonskin armour is nice armour. Perhaps it's greatest adtantage is that, without the large ceramic or metal insert plates that losoe their efficecy rapidly after a hit, it keeps working fine.

On the downside, those ceramic and metal plates in most armours will stop claws and blades that might find their way through the Dragonskin.

It's also expensive. Last time I priced it the cost was around $300K a suit.

Greydawn · Post by **Greydawn** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 10:10 am

Thank you for the info Mr. Caliburn it is very much apreciated.

If I decide to get it is there anyway I could buy it from you.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 11:05 am

Just go kill a dragon

Which is on my TODO list, by the way.

Just need to find one that deserves to die.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:31 pm

Well, if the gov't don't shut my buisness down over the missing weapons, yeah, no problem.

Koyla, if you find one, I recommend your team leads with one of those Kornet missiles.

That would be a good way to lead the attack, absolutely correct.

Razor · Post by **Razor** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:35 pm

I recommend a Tomahawk Cruise Missle ('Special' variety).

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:37 pm

Kornets can be mounted on vehicles or man portable.

Nice anti-armour weapon.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:40 pm

It helps to have a corpse to collect and analyize.

The Kornet can blast through over a metere of tank armour . . . I doubt the dragon will survve that.

Razor · Post by **Razor** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:43 pm

You're probably right, at least on this planet anyway.

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:44 pm

Better hope ya hit something vital then. And make sure its an evil dragon first otherwise I bet KT will be gunning for your asses.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:47 pm

Yea, Bert, I already made that clear.

Not because of KT, just because that's how I roll

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:47 pm

More likely Shang.

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:47 pm

Yes you did. Thought it bore repeating though. :wink:

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:49 pm

Yea... last thing I want is some to misunderstand me.
