    Marksman!
    Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 12:35 PM


    Marksman, as a SAW (Section Automatic Weapon) gunner, I can't believe that I am able to make myself as a marksman. Tell me about it, you are holding a light weight machine gun and once you snap the trigger, the whole bullets or rounds will be flying around and it is difficult to aim at the target board because of its recoil.

    The first ATP (Advanced Train fire Package) I went with my Company, Bravo wasn't successful because of my weapon failure and it could not be zeroed, and I need to rely on my combat zeroing and it was not easy. Either I should move left a bit, up a bit or further more to my right just to get the target down. I scored a total of 19/142, for the whole ATP stage, and I failed, don't tell me about getting a marksman with that kind of score. Thanks to my lovely weapon, it has failed on me.

    I managed to get a re shoot with Charlie Company, and also burnt my off in lieu off days, but it was worth it. I scored a total of 82/142 and got a marksman, and I told myself that the two days, I won't waste it on nothing, either I got my marksman plus the $200, or I go back to camp for nothing.

    For BTP (Basic Train fire Package) I got a marksman too, with a score of 27/32 using the SAR 21 rifle, and that does not conclude the marksman badge and the $200. ;'(

    ATP Stage;

    Stage A which is the 300 metre run down, I scored a total of 42/70.

    Stage B which is the IN-AD shoot, I scored a total of 18/24.

    Stage C, which is the night shoot, I scored a total of 22/48.

    Overall, I got 82. You need 71 points to be a marksman, and 36 points to pass. And yeah, marksman it is. Oh dear, $200, I will be waiting for you. ;)

    Eventhough I am colour blind, that does not stop me from getting my marksman. All you need is just a good eye sight, and focus, and most importantly, your weapon fundamentals. And mind you, out of 18 SAW gunners, only 3 are able to make it to be a marksman (including me).
