.. it was a lot of fun.

There were about 14 shooters, 0ne Sig MPX and three CZ Scorpions shooting in the PDW Division.
Everyone else but me was shooting in Service Rifle, most with Optics but a few with iron sights.

I shot Battle Rifle Optics Division.

First two stages were scenarios involving targets, no shoot targets and walls and barricades and the last two stages were drill or standards stages.

I did OK considering I was using a 2.75 scope which was not the best for transitioning between targets and I was mag changing from my cargo pockets! But everyone was awake by the time I finished shooting!

I bought it mostly for pig hunting but it was fun shooting about 80 rounds last night.

That does sound like a hoot! Glad you had some fun from that session. You may have learned more than you realize, too. DI5

 

[Dozermonkey]

My stock SOCOM is with out a doubt THE LOUDEST thing I own. I bet they loved you ! GI1

 

[Killashrub]

Nothing like the sound of an american battle rifle in an enclosed room!

 

[Hemi45]

Outstanding! I'd like to have been a fly on the wall after you left.

[old frank]

It didn't sound loud to me!

Everyone was actually laughing and during the pistol match last night one of the carbine shooters asked if I was bringing it next time. I said no, that was a one time fun indoor night.

 

[Wasted ammo]

How were the fire works coming from the barrel?

 

[32639]

How long was that indoor range to use optics?

 

[dwight55]

Now, . . . THAT would be fun.

Thanks for the story, . . . made my day just thinking about it.

May God bless,
Dwight

 

[SteedGun]

I love my SOCOM 16. I am still playing with the optics.

If I really had to fight that would be the fighting gun right now.

 

[ordnance21XX]

What was the distance to target? Happy Shooting

 

[Lazerus2000]

Indoors?
M14?
Eh ...
What?

I have shot some "practical" matches with SHORTIFIED (18.5") M14s. One memorable match involved running along inside a canyon, at dusk. The spectators told me afterwards that, though they could not see me directly, they could pin point my location in the canyon by the THUNDER and LIGHTNING that accompanied my trip.

Not just noise pollution but light pollution makes 7.62 NATO less than the ideal choice for indoors. Never mind OVERPENETRATION, as demonstrated by that old army training video showing the difference between cover and concealment, by demolishing a concrete block wall with a mag or two of 7.62.

NOPE ...
If ya wanna play inside, .300 BLK makes more sense.
In fact, ONCE AGAIN,
I am thinking of abandoning the M14 platform to play around with .300 BLK.
The distances I shoot at do not require battle rifle power, and rotator cuff/arthritis is making it oainful to shoot 7.62/.308 Win.
Time to wimp out to a lighter calibre.

Oh yeah ...
Here in Canuckistan, there is new gossip regarding a Chinese/Canuck M14 ...
In 7.62x39 Russian.
HMMMmmm?
