What's with folks on Armslist bothering to post "I have 37 rounds of XX cheap ammo."? Are they just lonely souls?


Mostly.

That's how many rounds they have left in the box when they're kicked out of the range.

I use a BB statistical method. (broad brush)

I'd love to, but it's top secret information.

I think we may have met before. Couple years back, I had a guy at a gun show tell me that because he was in XXX super secret para-military unit, that he was permanently barred from shooting any type of competition. He claimed the US government even made him sign a contract that said he would never shoot in public, because it would be unsettling for civilians to know how good he was. Was that you?

Thant seems legit. If he's that guy, then I would personally like to thank the U.S. Government for protecting the fragile egos of us mere mortal shooters.

That information is classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

I think it was more so to keep him from making mince meat of all the US AMU members......I mean how bad would that look?

That's a really good point that I hadn't even thought of. Something like that would be an embarrassment to the whole country, and there's no way Obama would stand for it. I kind of feel like I owe you one Shooter115. Like a fool, I was kind of looking forward to getting into a ____ measuring contest with him. Now I realize that would have ended very badly for me.

Since he hasn't been back to comment, I'm guessing that his handlers were worried that his op may be compromised. They've probably already extracted him.

Farewell 20mm, and Godspeed.

I can't confirm or deny anything, but if I was that person you're breaching the trust I put in you to keep this information confidential. OPSEC-based guidelines and security measures should not be taken lightly.

Some of us wake up every morning and use sandpaper on our fingers.
