Umm, self defense allows me to shoot the MF in the head. Why not beat to death ? What's the difference, more pain ? Good if the MF deserves it.

Putting your fingers in your ears does not me silence.
Jesus you are phoqing stupid.


Anyway, a few friends and I went out to the desert for some range time and I brought up this wager to them.

One has to wonder why, if as you claim, you belong to an exclusive gun club with expensive cars in the parking lot that you go to the desert to shoot.

While everyone agreed shooting at the feet was idiotic and shooting at specific toes even more idiotic we decided to try it, obviously not shooting at a person because we're not psychopaths. We set up some targets taped to normal AR500 steel plates, both circular and silhouette. The goal was to use a single round to strike a toe-sized target; we used a 1" square which is about the size of 2-3 toes.

You clearly have very small feet...and all that that implies[;)]

We were going to start with rifles but felt the target was too close, plus the AR500 pamphlet said minimum 100 yard distance for proper rifles. We opted to try with the Glock 19 (9mm, popular carry firearm), Glock 17 (9mm, many police carry this), two somewhat tricked out Glock 34s (9mm, competition/race gun), Kahr somethingorother (because Moonies), Sig P229 (9mm, Coast Guard carry this), and an AR9 (AR15-style rifle that shoots 9mm, 16" barrel), so mostly 9mm, which is a popular carry caliber with minimal recoil. Under normal range conditions we all hit the 1" square at 10' and most of us hit the 1" square at 25 yards (75'), especially with the Glock 34s. Under somewhat normal CCW conditions (ie drawing and firing) we all continued to hit the 1" square at 10'. At 25 yards (75'), most of us hit the 1" square when drawing and firing, pretty much the same group.

So even you and your "friends" admit that a 1" target at 25 yards is an easy shot. Thankyou for validating my position.


We didn't "draw" with the AR9 but started at a low-ready position before shouldering and firing. With the AR9 everyone hit the 1" target at both 10' and 25 yards. Nobody liked my admittedly cheap red dot sight but nobody offered to buy me an EOTech either.

We then added the "under duress" part of the wager. One of us, the 'attacker', started about 12 feet away and would run towards the shooter's back (again, we're not psychopaths). The shooter would have to draw and fire at the steel targets before the 'attacker' reached them, simulating, for the most part, a normal defensive scenario. While we all hit the steel plate at 10', only two of us were able to hit the 1" square before the 'attacker' touched them.


One must consider and challange the validity of this statement...if you cannot see the attacker running at your back how does this affect your shooting?[8|]

In response to your question: yes

I will be at mcrd san diego thursday march 31. I have been invited to attend the graduation of d co. 1st bn. I will be free thursday morning. Base legal is in building 12 at 3100 chosin ave.
They will be open at 0800.
The public is invited to the graduation so all you need to get on the base is show your id and have the registration and insurance for your vehicle. The p at the gate will give you directions to base legal. After you have signed the waiver and deposited the money with "my lawyer" (the next jag officer in line) we (as in me and thee) have been invited to visit the home of one of the drill instructors of d co. He lives on some acreage about fifteen minutes from the base.
We will, however, have an audience...several other drill instructors want to watch.
You can bring a doctor if you like but please do not forget the money...cash no cheques or promisory notes.
I am looking forward to meeting you and your money.[;)]

If i don't have to read your comments, you're effectively silenced. If enough ignore you, your audience dries up and you'll have to seek your much desired attention elsewhere.

I am a member of several ranges. As a group, not everyone is a member of all (or any) of the ranges so we shoot out in the desert. The "exclusive gun club" was never described as "exclusive", only that Bentleys, Porsches, and the occasional Ferrari were in the parking lot (post #86, Guns Flowing into Mexico). I mentioned it (to someone else, I should add) in order to illustrate that not every firearm enthusiast lacks money and that Arizona, with our lax firearm laws, is hardly the "wild wild west". As for me 'drooling' over cars in the parking lot, yes, some of the Ferraris look pretty awesome; I prefer the vaguely UFO-looking F360/F430, personally. With regards to me not being able to afford them, perhaps I have an "expensive car" of my own -- do you know for certain I do not?

Yes, shooting at a 1" target from 25 yards is a relatively easy shot -- when not under duress (post #434, CDC & Firearms) and not while the target is moving (post #98, Guns Flowing into Mexico). Why do you continue to omit these conditions of our wager?

Again, it's the "under duress" part of our wager, the part you seem to conveniently forget. I'm not quite sure how you could forget as the quoted text plainly says "We then added the "under duress" part of the wager". Just because one can leisurely make a shot does not mean they can do the same while in a stressful situation, even if the stress is artificial. Having someone run at you and knowing you have a finite (and rapidly shrinking) period of time in order to place your shot adds stress.

It's almost as if you have never fired a weapon in a stressful situation.

Like an ignored child pulling on the sleeve of their parents you have made repeated posts inviting me to San Diego. I'll ignore that I had originally asked you for a YouTube video and then invited you to Phoenix to demonstrate your still unproven shooting abilities. How ironic that you would be desperately demanding to be heard while ignoring repeated requests of yourself -- how about that lawyer's name? However, in an answer to your question (one that I hope you will quote in its entirety), I work on Monday through Friday.



Termyn8or -> RE: Does self defense allow you to beat someone to death"? (3/31/2016 12:17:38 AM)

I think a one inch target at 25 yard is pretty good actually. But how good do you shoot with a pistol ? I can take out a bird in flight with a pistol, well I could, and did, but not so sure about now. Range more like 10 yards or so, not 25.

I think it is really more important to be able to shoot with shit moving around, because it does. Target practice just teaches you how to use the sights. How to use the weapon effectively when you NEED to is a different story.

T^T

This is for anyone who would care to answer my curiosity. I'm not quite 'getting' the whole bet and shooting moving targets. I mean, they do that all the time with clay pigeons and those things are only about a third of a foot across or so. Is it because rifles are used as opposed to guns and that it would be harder to trap shoot or something with a pistol?

I did a little research and the targets are anywhere from 10 yards to 60 yards away. Are guns less accurate and that's what makes the bet interesting or hard to accomplish?

Michael and I used to go shooting a lot and I was pretty good at grouping but those targets didn't move and I was much closer than 25 yards. I used to have a 191 bowling average until I injured myself and I'm still pretty good with a pool stick and a bull whip so my aim is decent for a blind woman with virtually no bone in the right elbow. I know I couldn't hit a moving target or if I did it would be because I got damn lucky but I'm a duffer with no training other than what Michael shared with me and what I learned from the instructor at the range and, of course, lots of practice. I don't suck.. well, compared to you folks I do.. but I don't suck for a duffer. :D

Anyway.. will someone enlighten me as to why this appears to be so unbelievable that people are willing to pay money for it? I'm just not getting it.

Typically one uses a shotgun for trap and skeet. A shotgun puts out a patern of small pellets whereas a rifle or pistol puts a single pellet.

It is simply petty jelousy. Chairborn rangers contend that anyone who shoots better than they do is a myth. When given an opportunity to "put up or shut up" they post up that they are busy at work.

The nra standard 100 yard smallbore rifle target has an x ring of of 1 moa (minute of angle) or slightly over 1 inch.

I can take out a bird in flight with a pistol, well I could, and did, but not so sure about now. Range more like 10 yards or so, not 25.

Dude...the bulls eye on a standard nra 25 yd. pistol target is 1.51" in diameter. That is about the size of your big toe from the tip down to the first knuckle.

Quite understndable. You have neither the money or toes to spare.



I had originally asked you for a YouTube video

Videos can be easily faked.

and then invited you to Phoenix to demonstrate your still unproven shooting abilities.

You are the one who said "I am calling you out" I have offered you access to my lawyer, giving you the address and the time we will be available.

How ironic that you would be desperately demanding to be heard while ignoring repeated requests of yourself -- how about that lawyer's name?

Since base legal is a walk in the lawyer will be whoever is on duty at the time. Base legal is in building 12 which is 3100 chosin ave. mcrd san diego ca.

However, in an answer to your question (one that I hope you will quote in its entirety), I work on Monday through Friday.

Also of note: That pile of barely human flotsam claims to have all kinds of access at a Marine Corps Depot. Unusual, since he likes to mock dead Marines.

Too bad someone in his family hasn't buried him. That'd be fine by me.

I mean.. if it's a Gatling gun, I'm sure I could hit a moving target.. eventually. ;)

I believe thompson's original claim was that he could shoot the toe off of an attacker running towards him at 25 yards with a handgun.

A foot, of course, would be making an up and down and forward and back motion instead of an arc. That is a big difference in following a moving target.

Since I am the one who was "called out" my choice of weapon was a .22 pistol. Specifically a hi-standard auto-loader with a 10 round magazine loaded with wrm (winchester rimfire magnum)40gr.jhp(jacketed hollow point). When fired through a 10" barrel it will achieve about 1800 fps.muzzle velocity.
A running person will move about 9' per second. At 75' it will take the bullet about .024 sec to reach the target. What this means is that the bullet strike will be behind the point of aim by about a quarter of an inch. The foot is moving in a fore and aft direction and an up and down direction not side to side. thus the foot never leaves the sight picture and the point of aim and the point of impact will be seperated by a fraction of an inch.
Was that way too much information?

Then you obviously believe wrongly. My original claim was 10' not 75'. It was ifmaz who first stated that I had said 75'. Since either shot is well within my capability I went one better and said I could not only do it but specify which toe.

A foot, of course, would be making an up and down and forward and back motion instead of an arc. That is a big difference in following a moving target.


If you are a clerk/typist that may be true. If you shoot competitively it is called taking money from chumps.
