I've always found this scene retarded. Yeah, if you're out in downtown Mogadishu and you want to drop your M16A2 down alongside you on your sling and don't feel like applying safe, I get it. I'd feel the same way.
But in the chow hall on base? Put your goddamn safety on. From the first moment I saw that I basically had to re-build my opinion of the character throughout the film as I just instantly felt he was a dick.

is this true?

>>28628076
Have you never used an AR?
Unless you've got the action racked, you can't put it on safe.
I can think of a few rifles like that actually.
>>28628076
Get out
>>28628087
Californian, so no.
Thanks for the info, tho.
>>28627230
Based on a real dude. Apperantly someone (although I think it IRL was Seal Team 6 dude, not Delta) had an ND back at the "FOB" because they left their safety off.
Howard E Wasdin (Seal Team 6 sniper) talks about it in his book about his life/that mission, too.
>>28626886
>>28628082
>What is it SGT? Another tax payer funded Delta Safari?"
I fucking hated Steele its funny because alot of other brass hate/hated him too.

>RACK THE FUCKING WEAPON WITH NO MAGAZINE

>YOU NOW HAVE AN EMPTY CHAMBER, LOADED MAG IN, WITH SAFETY ON
Yall are why they put "front towards enemy" on claymores.
>>28628161
You can. It's got shit to do with it being loaded. It's only if the hammer is cocked.
>cock it
>put in mag
>turn on safety
>>28628196
I had a 1sgt just like steele
>"Hey Staff SGT are you wasting my Tax payers money on a nature hike in Samangan again? Who the fuck even approved you to take one of my birds?"
>we were on a field op 1sgt
>"YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOU-
>Incomes LT
>"Far as I'm concerned 1sgt it was a field op and if the captain or colonel asks, I approved it. Other than that is there any issue?"
LT was a huge nature and history buff, he loved going to the ruins and looking and wild life.
1sgt was so fucking pissed, at the fact we took a black hawk out there and all we did was hang out and let some of the privates take pictures.
>>28627230
>From the first moment I saw that I basically had to re-build my opinion of the character... as I just instantly felt he was a dick.
Agreed. His entire character just kinda does whatever the fuck he wants, and not in a cool way.
>>28628183
This doesn't surprise me at all.
>>28628267
>>Who the fuck even approved you to take one of my birds?"
>>>we were on a field op 1sgt
you smug fuck, I would've slapped the shit out of you.
>>28628203
>RACK THE FUCKING WEAPON WITH NO MAGAZINE
>PLACE ON SAFE
>INSERT MAGAZINE
>YOU NOW HAVE AN EMPTY CHAMBER, LOADED MAG IN, WITH SAFETY ON
So...you want an empty chamber...with the hammer back...just so you can put the weapon on safe?
>so fucking stupid
Doing that adds unnecessary steps to readying your weapon. If you just leave it on repetition with a magazine loaded, all you gotta do is rack the action. Do it your way and you have to rack the action AND take it off safe.
>you're the reason we have SOP's
>>28628203
you cant load 30 rounds into your mag and do that.
>>28628040
>>can't set to safe unless round chambered
Hahaha
no.
Wow you guys are nerds. Do you also follow every single traffic law, including shit like indicating for 5 seconds before changing lanes?
>>28628381
>no round chamberd
>not safe
>no round chamber
>safety on
>somehow safer.
>2016
>>28628458
I indicate for 10 seconds, don't tell the cops
>>28628456
>Racking a empty gun just to turn on the saftey.
>>28628468
I bet you flag people with your fucking rifle when it's not loaded, too.
>>28628161
just because you live in california doesn't mean you have an excuse. i live in california and i have an AR-15 in my lap right now.
>>28628490
Lol no, that's just rude to point guns at people. You must get really triggered by people with glock and pistols without safeties
>>28626886
>>28628490
don't worry dude safety is on
and it might not be loaded and clocked
>>28626886
chamber flag in
gun pointed at dirt and some how not my foot
tip of finger gentry resting on side of trigger

>isn't as expedient
Pick one, dumbass
>>28628381
Switching from safe to semi takes absolutely no time at all.
Especially if your hands are where they should be.
>>28628572
You should know better.
>>28626886
>ITT
>>28628477
already reported.
be prepared for a no-knock and possibly death of your dog.
>>28628267
Oi you cheeky cunt you. I like you you can stay
>>28626886
There's a reason the term was changed from "accidental discharge" to "negligent discharge."
Bunch of queers.
I keep my handgun cocked-and-locked. It doesn't even have a safety, just a decocker.
>>28628528
not him but if i had the misfortune of living in california i wouldn't bother with all that retarded shit on an AR either
>>28627201
I know this probably triggers the shit out of you, but yes. Actual operators aren't gun-obsessed faggots who feel the need to comment on trigger discipline every time they see both a person and a weapon in a photograph.
>>28629631
This so much. Whenever there's a picture of people holding guns on the internet, it'll either be
>omfg horrible trigger discipline
or
>you can tell they're well trained, look at that sexy trigger discipline
Pisses me off
>>28628482
The intelligence of the person undertaking the action is not being questioned. Thanks for beating around that bush though. The original statement posed that it was not possible.
>>28630680
It's particularly bad when the photo is 40+ years old and trigger discipline wasn't even a standard practice at that point in time
>>28628528
I'm not wasting my money on a neutered AR-15.
If anything I'll just look for a nice K98 to go with the bayonets I got for it

Cpt. Dave "Cpt. America" McGraw: Eric, what can I do for you?
Sgt. Eric Kocher: Sir, it’s about the enemy AK’s you’ve been firing from your vehicle. You’re endangering us. You’re not calling your targets. The AK’s sound like enemy fire.
Cpt. Dave "Cpt. America" McGraw:[laughing] Jesus Christ, Eric!
Sgt. Eric Kocher: Respectfully, sir? You fire an AK one more time, I’ll fuck you up.

Always assume a round is chambered, for fucks sake
>>28628087
A lot of my bolt guns are like that.

Regarding every Vickers video
>>28628468
Trying to be cool like this is why /k/ has more ND's than any other firearms-related board on the internet.
>>28628381
And you're why we have safety stand downs all the gotdamn time.
>>28629482
It's not locked unless you have a safety. So you just carry your DA/SA gun with the hammer cocked?
>>28627717
AF reg says chambered, off safe, and decocked
>>28629260
It's the little things in life!
>>28626886
He should have taught his TD to this goober
>>28635382
Under the circumstances I'd have said that was perfectly acceptable. Fuck Mexicans.

where's this from, sicario? still gotta see that movie.
>>28628076
Round chambered no, but it does have to be charged, if you dry fire you can no longer place on safe.
>>28631647
TDing anything that is in my hand ever.

good movie
>>28626886
My dad is a ranger, he said he new the guy Eric Banana played. Also he says Lorenzo Ruiz or the guy who bled to death after being shot in the neck (inb4 7.62x39 had me like), was his friend he went to basic and Ranger school with. Apparently Eric Banana would walk around base with a food tray and an m4 with a mag in and everyone would dip from the table he would sit down on bc he was one crazy mofo with a hell of a thousand yard stare.
>>28635497
One of the best movies of last year.
You should see it if you haven't.
/tv/ agrees for the most part that it was very good, and /tv/ is the shitposting capitol of 4chan besides /v/ and /sp/.
