Good grief, Hawke!

At the range I go to, I see definite correllation between gray hair
and good shooting. Jam-clearing doesn't seem to be an issue.

High-volume rapid fire comes less rather often from grayhairs than
from young bucks. Pensioners and cost of ammo, you know. The
difference is that when grayhairs do shoot that way, a gaping
shredded hole is often created where COM used to be on the target.

Indeed.

Battle Rattle is of little use in real life on a single target.
Afterall...how many times do you really need to kill an opponent?

If lots of rounds downrange gives ya a woodie, put out multiple
targets and address them all.
