And where does "dropping your gun" fit into "fighting pistol"? Isn't that contradictory?
Lol, no. It came fairly naturally.Serious question, did you have to practice dropping a real gun in order to drop a gun when required.
Sarcasm?
Nope. Fact.
I get it, you don't like Yeager. That doesn't make everything that comes out of his mouth incorrect.
Lol, no. It came fairly naturally.
Kind of what I figured. I'm not sure who these folks are who need to be trained on how to drop something, and for those that require it why it has to be a loaded gun.
It seems that I can't handle the truth.
Truth is fine, it's the beard. You can't handle the beard
Serious question, did you have to practice dropping a real gun in order to drop a gun when required.
Look. You just don't understand. This is for the guys that want to just get THAT MUCH BETTER at stuff that the rest of us are satisfied with just doing half-way.
Son, we live in a world that has tools, and those tools have to be dropped by men with boots. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Blue-eyes? He has a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for that vehicle, and you curse the TR instructors. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what he knows. That the vehicle’s holey-ness, while tragic, probably saved lives. And his existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want him spinning on that loaded gun, you need him pirouette-ing on that loaded gun. They use words like training, tactical, tools. They use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending Yeager. You use them as a punchline. He has neither the time nor the inclination to explain himself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very toolocity that he provides, and then questions the manner in which he provides it. He would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way. Otherwise, he suggests you pick up a weapon, drop it on the ground, step on it, and pivot. Either way, he doesn’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
I going to practice a new skill.
1. Fire my pistol until it's empty.
2. Execute a Hondo roll.
3. Aim for the throat as I throw my empty pistol.
4. Reverse Hondo roll.
Hopefully, Printcraft can video so Kirk can critique me.
