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.

I am reminded of the young bull and the old bull. they are
walking together and they come over a hill, and spy a bunch of cows
down below. The young bull says "lets run down and screw us a
couple." The old bull says "Lets walk down, and screw 'em all."

Patience is a virtue.
