How many rounds did you expend until you become reasonably skilled in shooting a particular weapon?
Trying to figure out how much target practice ammo I need on top of the stockpile.
>>30639488
roughly 5000 rounds of 9mm to get to the point of hitting a steel target at 100 yards 2/3s of the time with a handgun
managed to hit the same target consistently within the first 100 rounds out of an ar but i dont consider myself proficient. 100yards might as well be point blank for a rifle. dont have any ranges around to practice long distance
id say you dont get a feel for a gun until 1k and around 2k you should be adequate enough the rest is just fine tuning the basics

How much ammo does each recruit expend during military training?
>>30639488
Nine rounds. Three rounds at a time.
Then again, I don't have epilepsy.

Depends on your skill level when you get the gun. You're already familiar with shooting that type of weapon, you won't need as many as if you are new to whatever it is you're shooting.

In 2012, the DHS bought more than 103 million rounds for its 70,000 agents licensed to carry a firearm, averaging between 1,300 and 1,600 rounds per officer. The US Army, said Chaffetz, only uses around 350 rounds per soldier. The DHS, on the other hand, uses "roughly 1,000 rounds more per person."
Answering allegations that his office was buying ammo to keep American civilians from buying large numbers, DHS training officer Humberto Medina said he could "say categorically that was not a factor at all" in the purchases. Rather, Medina said the surge in ammo acquisition in recent years has been to prepare DHS armed agents who are "exposed to a variety of situations" and "only have that weapon to protect their lives.”
Unlike members of the Armed Forces, said Medina, DHS agents “can’t contact air support” if an emergency arises. “They have to be proficient at a very high level,” he said.

For basic proficiency, maybe like 50 bullets? A little more for a handgun than a long gun, because you have to learn how to keep your wrist from moving. Take your time and dont do a As with anything you learn like 80% of the info in 20% of the time, and the final 20% in like 80% of the time. You will get the hang of it within a few shots. But if you want to get crazy sniper good it would take weeks or months even.
As expensive as bullets are, you might want to consider getting a pellet gun or even a BB gun for practice. NOT AIRSOFT.

It's called the 21 foot rule in self defense training. Everyone and his brother knows this. Damn, dude. Try learning something.
My comment was a light hearted remark.

It was a reference to a thread last night. Some weeb was arguing with his other weeb friends on skype. One claimed that he could reliable one hit kill someone with a baseball bat, and completely ignore being riddled full of bullets simply with adrenaline.

Cops only practice in order to clear the academy. Their training is limited.
A basic training recruit has more proficient knowledge of firearms than a police officer.
I'm not even being a hater - I'm telling the truth.
In /k/'s opinion, how much of a good shot does someone need to be before you can entrust them with a weapon to protect you and your party?
