In Basic they took some of us good shots to the range on a moonless
night to try out something similar. The control was to first empty a
20 round mag at a paper target however we wanted. I punched 17 holes,
Pvt Young to my right at the end of the alphabetical firing line had
23. That ended the experiment.


That must have been embarassing, your shots ending up on Youngs paper.
