a.  fired at your "rapid" cadence

b.  fired with your eyes open

c.  be the "only" shot you concentrate on

d.  all of the above

All of the above.  The WW2 standard of rapid rifle fire required four seconds to touch off each shot.  Some extra time was given to get into position from standing and to recharge the rifle once, but the shot period was 4 seconds. 
The Army Signal Corps video linked in the library section shows how to do this with an M1.
One thing they didn't bother to teach was rapid fire from standing; the instructor said that position was too unsteady to bother attempting rapid, at least in training.

c.  be the "only" shot you concentrate on

d.  all of the above


a.  fired at your "rapid" cadence ( Shots should be fired at "ones" rapid cadence so long as they aren't wasting ammo/the shot and making the rounds hit accurately) some are faster, some are slower in making accurate shots.  Accuracy supercedes rapid shots.

b. "fired with your eyes open", if you can't see, you will not hit anything, given.

c. "be the 'only' shot you concentrate on", I concetrate on all shots, everytime as if I had only one round to make it count.  EVERYTIME.

I cannot say that "d." is the answer.


"b.  fired with your eyes open" is the only answer I can agree to.



Brett out.

That's exactly what it already means, act as though your current shot is going to be the only one you get, and shoot accordingly.

I like D., all of the above. Nothing like a focused rapid fire string. When I do it right(not often enough) it is SWEET! ;D ;D
Serfs up!
