Pulling the trigger.

[Midnitemo]

up close and personal is always going to be much tougher physically and mentally than to remotely pull the trigger , the last thing you want to be doing is talking to somebody you may need to kill and yes putting someone down is not usually the end of it , not looking forward to this so lets hope its not in my lifetime.

i think the figures s13 is quoting suggesting people are reluctant to shoot at people maybe misleading...i suggest the ww1 figure is more about the rank and file rarely getting to close with each other and the damage being done by artillery....and vietnam i'd suggest that the first round would have been aimed and the rest of the burst just walked of target... some vietnam vets were horribly abused on the return so i'd think it's a comfortable myth to tell everyone you aimed off...11,000 round's per kill!!!!!!!! the rq would go off his head and the rattly carts and trucks would never keep up.
