    Ohhhh, I'll take a whack at this.

    First things first. Yup that mag is most certainly in backwards.

    Second, Why is her port open??? She already been firing that thing? Yes, yes I understand the charging handle but you kinda close it after that because you don't want crud getting in there when your not shooting. And she couldn't have been shooting cause the mag's in backwards.

    Third, She needs to learn to adjust her butt stock that looks really comfortable at that extention.

    Oh and here is a multiple point one.... Why is her elbow way the heck out like
    that... 1. She either doesn't have her balisitics vest on and she has it in the pocket, which is well... dumb or 2. She has her balistics vest on and she has it resting on the top part of her bisep, not in the socket and if she fired it would really hurt.

    And to top it all off. Did anybody see the Texas plates on the unit??? When was the last time you saw someone from Texas that didn't know how to handle a firearm, she's definatly a transfer.

    BUT!!!! I will give her credit for one thing that is absolutly vital in all situations. The single one thing that I see here is that she does not have her finger wrapped around the trigger. She actually has it placed correctly down the side of the magwell like a good girl. (Unless she's trying to tap the mag relaese button to drop that backwards mag, lol)

    Thanks for the laugh Clay, I think a certian officer is going to be trading in her patrol for a seat in the weapons locker for a few months.

    Yup, the mag's in backwards, obviously the biggest blunder

    What makes it stand out so much is that otherwise her gun handling looks pretty good. I was taught to stick the elbow out like that - I think it has something to do with resulting wrist angle. So that looks OK, at least it does to me. And very good trigger finger control. The hair's tucked out of the way in a pony tail.

    I'm not sure why she's exposing herself so open like that. Seems a questionable tactical position. It could be because she's on the move - something you won't be able to tell from a photo. If there's not some reason to be exposed like that, then you're supposed to be tucked behind the trunk of the car.

    Let's see here... First things first...
    A woman in uniform... NEVER a good thing...
    Second... The magazine...
    Third... We would always put our elbows in on the standing position for stability purposes when firing our M16A2's in the Corps.... But, I do understand things change for the better..

    I kept thinking that maybe it was some mod I hadn't seen before. I scoured the net trying to find a pic of a magazine in backwards just trying to get her the benefit of the doubt. No luck.

    What you have there is a photo staged for the local paper. It might even have been taken after the fact.

    No Bribo

    Devil plunged right on through the ice and is suffering from hypothermia

    No clue why the mag is in wrong. I haven't tried to insert mine in backwards yet so I don't know how easy it is to do.

    Which reminds me I need to snag the bore snake and give it a good cleaning~


    Anyone have a favorite sitting shooting position for me to practice? I haven't found one I am ga-ga over and after much cursing and open to suggestions

    I'm thinking DD and beaker should have a shoot-off. AR-15's, 10 rounds, prone position, open sights.

    My money says beaker out-shoots him!


    Regarding the photo, more research reveals that perhaps the officer loaded the magazine correctly afterall. This could be a Heckler and Koch version for all we know:

    (and no, that's not a photoshop job either!)

    I never said Clay that women are not good shots... Quite the contrary I think there is a lot of women that are great shots...
    I said a woman in uniform is NEVER a good thing....

    Woman and guns don't mix!

    That being said, my money is on Beaker. DD will constantly be scratching himself....

    This is Field Manual 23-10 it is best to memorize it cover to cover.
