Cock your weapon Firers!
I did try my best I could but….ARGH F!!!
So, the day was kinda usual…yadayada. I am just going to talk about IMT (Individual Marksmanship Training)
IMT
So, exactly we, as in Clive and I, left class 11.30 so that we could like slack a while. Then…. Nevermind, I’ll just go straight to the point. SO, I went there quite well prepared but quite nervous. While waiting, I recap through my last years pellet rifle training, the MALAY trainer was super good and pro. So basic fundamentals of shooting, didn’t help much during shooting. So then after being reorganized by details and lane, we headed to the firing range (Black room, Computer Simulator). So before us were a bunch of girls and boys, majority girls. We were being assistants first. Syakir was like having a crush to the girl he assisted cause she was so-so and also did quite well in shooting. Flirter. Anyway after a while, our time was next. So I went to prone position with the gun. And there came my oh-so-dumb assistant. He seemed older than me. Anyway, I asked him to adjust the sandbag higher, which he seriously at first didn’t know what a sandbag was and what was he suppose to do. Dude! Simple English! Anyway, I hate that assistant.
So first was Canadian Bull (Just search it on the web if you don’t know it). Grouping. Zeroing. I totally nailed it. I got 15 mm apart of the 4 bullets.
Second was Canadian Bull also. This was just to confirm about the zeroing. Failed. Luckily it wasn’t counted.
Starting from here it was the real one. First was deliberate target, Fig. 12. OTOT. With support. 4 rounds. This one was quite badly done. All my targets could be seen on the screen but only 1 get through. 2 were to the right, just few mm away from the Fig 12. The other one was below.
Second was deliberate target also, Fig. 12.Failed again. 0 shot I think. All were super super close.
Third one was snap shot, Fig. 12. 6 rounds. With no support. Well, I couldn’t really explain what is snap shot. So anyway I got 2 shots on target. That was like 2 out of 6. Super bad.
Last one was snap shot again. Now with support. I passed this. 3 out of 6. Quite good for me.
Total score was 6 out of 20. So, 3 out of 10 chance.
The Passes (according to score):
- Syakir- highest scorer. He did well for the competition. So doing well was expected. Sadly though not a marksman.Potential Marksman. 12 out of 20
- George- Playing Call Of Duty for hours helped him alot. Just passed. Overall:10 out of 20
- Azmi- He was nailing every shot for deliberate target, 6 out of 8. But when snap shots come, he totally blew it.Potential Marksman. Overall:8 out of 20
- Mikail- Picturing Syahirah helped him. HAHA!! Anyway he was super good at times but just blew it also. Potential Marksman. Overall:7 out of 20
- Khalis (Tied 4th)- Picturing Rashidah helped him. HAHA!! I didn’t see he’s progress since he wasn’t near my lane. Overall:7 out of 20
So, if there is such thing as a sixth place, there would be 2, Wei Sheng and me. Both of us got 6. DANG!!!
Upsetters(U) and Lowers(L):
- David(U)(L)- He was only good with his eyepatch. Seriously disappointing. Such a step-per Overall:1 out of 20
- Me(U)- I was expected to pass. But seemed that today isn’t my day. Lousy assistant, back-ache due to low sandbag, and also me not taking care of glasses and also contacts. Overall:6 out of 20
- Clive(L)- Well, first IMT he shot Josh’s target. Now he shot Mikails target. He only good in killing others. Lol. And also many IA, and always not knowing that his magazine was touching his bloody sandbag. Overall: 0 out of 20 (I think)
- Jeremy and WeiHeng (L): Both gotten unbelievable marks. Wei Heng got an assistant which didn’t know what a sandbag is. Overall: 0 out of 20 (Both)
Anyway, I expected highly. So down in the dumps. Nevermind, next year’s IMT and life range, I am going to nail them!
