T-Assassin Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) was going thru some old miltary paperwork and came across a list i received while training with the USMC. (then looked it up and found it on teh intranetz) i find it fits my Merc playstyle quite well. (highlighted in red) enjoy: 1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns. Bring their friends who have guns. 2. If you can, make friends with those on the crew served weapons. Bring them as well. Borrow money from them, it gives them an added incentive to protect you. 3. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive. 4. Only hits count. Close doesn't count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss. 5. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly. 6. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.) KITE!! 7. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun. (snipers are your friends!!) 8. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived and who didn't. 9. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating (calling for arty or air support), reloading, and running. 10. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting is more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. 11. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket." 12. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty. (blow all CD's b4 you die ) 13. In combat, there are no rules, always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose. 14. Have a plan. 15. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work. 16. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. The only visible target should be in your gun sights. 17. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect your flank. 18. Don't drop your guard. 19. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees. 20. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them). 21. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH. 22. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get. 23. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet. 24. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one. 25. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation. 26. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4." Edited June 5, 2012 by T-Assassin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperCam Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I love it. "Kite" isn't easy for us though when a couple of our main moves require standing still but remembering to keep moving around between shots is a great habit to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
