A question for gun experts. (Page 20 of 20)

Yeah, you’re right. I think many of the commando style raids that the SOE were involved in haven’t been attributed to them in the past and usually bunched in with the generic “commando” term rather than specifically SOE.  They were certainly prolific in that role during the first half of the war.   

The woods at the back of our house were used by the SOE as training grounds for commando raids. They took over the old Manor House there.  Even now I’m still finding ordnance and rounds fired over the vast area. They must have expended hundreds of thousands of 9mm rounds over there.

That is superb. Fair play to them

On a slightly different note, .......

Anyone watched The Tiger King on Netflix ? Not to go in to too many details, but One
Member of his Zoo crew accidentally, when fooling around with his gun Shot Himself.
Before this happened on screen, I predicted it to my Daughter, as I explained how
some automatics work
( I know nothing about guns, only from what I've seen in movies and the bits and pieces
I've picked up on AJB, from our far more knowledgeable Members )
The guy on screen removed the clip of bullets from the gun and proceeded to tease another
member of staff, and the inevitable happened.
  I expressed my opinion to my daughter that how someone who worked with Guns everyday
wouldn't know some basic safety techniques.
  Although If anyone has seen the show they fool around with guns all the time, even pointing
loaded revolvers at the camera crew and eachother.

  I did say I knew Nothing about guns   In a shootout, I'd be with the
women folk, ripping off a strip of my undergarments for bandages. 
Next you'll be telling me holding it sideways and claiming to put a cap
in someone's Ass, isn't the done thing either !

There seems to be a reality TV genere where people handles dangerous items like idiots even though they should be experts or at least really competent. What's the show about lumberjacks? I saw an episode where a man was clearing a road of trees after a storm. A tree was toppled accross a road and the guy was standing directly under the tree, holding the chainsaw with one arm straight up while cutting it! I've ben in that sort of situation and that's the completely wrong way to do it. I'm surpriced they don't kill themselves in every program. A friend of mine works in a firm that produces cranes for the oil indiustry. he's watched a reality show about workers in the oil industry and he says the same thing: The guys behave like idiots with no consept of safety and common sense.

Please 0073, My undergarments are my own private business
and not fitting for public discussion ........ I'm no slag !!
