Cannonfire, yes, I'm old school.
I believe the marines do learn to shoot at long range.
I don't know, maybe its just me, but I would have a hard time engaging an enemy, with 40 pounds of body armor hanging on me. Especially an enemy, that wears just clothing. I guess maybe the only way to compensate for lack of quality shooting is, to throw lots of lead in the general direction.
When I go to my nearby range, I see guys getting a rush out of firing bursts of semi-auto fire, just for the thrill of it. Each to their own.
In any case, if it comes down to it, I'll take a semi-auto M14 over an ak or an M16.
My army training, ie 1967,sticks in my brain and I can still make hits at 400 meters with open sights.
