From the article: "Up to about 900 metres, they would aim at an insurgent's head, beyond that at the chest."
There's a standard we should aspire to.

"Major Mark Gidlow-Jackson, their company commander, describes Potter and Osmond as the "epitome of the thinking riflemen" that his regiment sought to produce."

"Thinking Riflemen". Now where have I heard that before?

Darn! Yet another book to buy and read. I love that they call a "Two for" a Quigley. Has anyone ever offered Tom Selleck an Appleseed?
