Capt Bart 113 Report post Posted November 29, 2011 A couple of others; Turning Turtle - comes from a sci fi story where folks dug DEEP bunkers, went into them and never came out. Entire point being they'd pulled their heads in like a turtle and stayed put! CQB - close quarters battle. Close range, usually within 50 yards or so, often within a structure like a house. Rifleman's quarter mile - 500 yards http://www.lewrockwell.com/buppert/buppert14.html Appleseed - A movement to renew the spirit of riflemen into America. Low cost (free for ladies and kids) weekend training sessions to get folks able to hit a man size target at a "rifleman's quarter mile". http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f55/what-thing-called-appleseed-36780/ EMP - Electro Magnetic Pulse. An effect of rapid movements in the shape of the earth's magnetic field caused by CME's or nuclear explosions. Destroys unprotected electronics, the more modern they are the more susceptible to EMP.

Capt Bart 113 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) I'm adding as I use so here's another SCOTUS - Supreme Court of The United States BATFE - Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Used to be ATF. cammies - camouflage clothing or gear Mall Ninja - some clown who thinks wearing cammies while shopping in the local mall, who may (or may not) own a "Rambo" knife, and probably owns an M4gery tricked out with all the gear makes him the Rambo character as seen on TV. No training or skills, in fact very little actual shooing practice, but a legend in his own mind. All hat and no cows. Rambo anything - something big and bad ass looking that may be unsuitable for the task at hand. Knives are a prime example. A Rambo knife is likely to get you jailed if you ever use it (designed to be a man killer don't you know) and is too small to be a good machete and too large for most every thing else. Unless you are really skilled with it, it is also too heavy and awkward to be used as a fighting blade. https://www.google.com/search?q=rambo+knives&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=Xl8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=KlrWTqPrG8SKsQKt5O2EDw&ved=0CFwQsAQ&biw=1609&bih=651 M4gery - M4 Forgery; rifles that look like M16/M4 carbines but really aren't. Most AR pattern rifles are NOT built to military specs; they just look like it. Fun to shoot but don't think that even your Colt AR platform is built to the same specs as the M4 - Not saying better or worse, just different. Some are very good, some are junk. All hat and no cows - OK, this comes from Texas, I've used it so I'll include it. Similar to mall ninja from an earlier time. Implies the person being talked about has the dress of a cattleman but not of the skills or savvy. He's (like mall ninjas, almost always male) got the boots, jeans, shirt and BIG hat but he can recognize a cow only with done medium rare with a baked potato on the side. cover - a obstacle between you and a shooter that will stop a bullet. Usually, but not always - bullet resistance glass, also provides concealment. concealment - something that hides you from a potential BG. Will NOT stop a bullet. A wooden wall is concealment but is very likely NOT cover to a 30 caliber round. Advanced Combat Optical Gunsights (abbreviated ACOG) - optical sight, low or no magnification in the optics but provides for rapid target acquisition. Edited December 8, 2011 by Capt Bart add cover concealment ACOG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
