American troops in training

I hope the guy in pic #2 isn't there to work on aim, because, unless the target is abnormally large for human representation, he's awfully close to the target. Ain't gonna learn to aim the thing sitting almost right next to the thing you're going to shoot. Unless he's there to learn the Point, Click, Spray Bullets method of shooting...in which case it makes no sense to have marked regions on the target. Unless that's all they had to work with...

I am offically thinking about that picture way too much.

That's a good observation CW. If you look at the target at the figure labeled "1" you see a fairly tight group of holes. I dont know why they would be shooting at anyting other than the lethal zones of the humanlike figure.

I do believe that they are required to be walking at certain points of the course which makes it a bit harder to hit the target. If I remember correctly, there is also a drill that the shooter is required to walk and only shoot on command. That would aslo increase the difficulty.

I have pictures from Afghanistan I can't show. Same thing, but a lot more blood.
