Two Israel Defense Forces soldiers who were filmed practicing at a firing range last week while stark naked were each sentenced to 21 days in jail on Sunday.
A military spokesperson described the incident on Thursday at the Nahal Brigade’s training base as “serious.”
In the footage that was circulated online, the two soldiers — squad commanders — were seen shooting at targets at the base’s firing range, wearing only a smile.

This is probably actually safer. Years ago in PA when shooting prone I dropped a red hot .30 M2 case from my Garand down the shirt collar of the guy next to me, and he jumps up and down screaming fck fck get it off me get it off me and starts dancing around like his pants were on fire, yanking at his belt. We thought a baby copperhead had slithered up his pants leg and bit him on the nuts or something.

I had a case land on my forearm during the prone part of a FAL shoot. It somehow landed perfectly and didn't roll off. I was so focused on the target it burned me pretty good before I noticed it and flinched it away. Left a nice scar for a few years. Next time I'll be wearing long sleeves !

Gotta train like you fight!
Valid. When I lose weight, my shorts want to droop under the heft of my chosen carry piece.

I've been evaluating the tactical advantage of dropping trou with my weak hand (more of a hip wiggle) as I draw my piece with my strong hand
- sort of like Shock & Awe.

I'm going to need a pithy line, tho.

My LGS has an indoor range and gives a discount for all the guys who bring their ladies in to shoot also. It was a hoot to see a well endowed female type person show up dressed to the nines with short skirts and heels and a blouse that showed more cleavage than a bikini. Watching them do to hot brass dance while removing the upper articles of clothing never got old. I even told the manager to save all those security camera footages and make a youtube movie, because he could make a killing off of it.

Must be generational. The 11BooBoos I knew back in the day would have appreciated the style points.


1) Carefully dump Smoke Composition
2) Repack with chemlights
3) Reseal and enjoy the subsequent jocularities.


Now I can't get the mental image of Uncle Junior from the SOPRANOS outta my head.


ETA - upon researching whether this was bullshit or not, determined it was probably a Canadian Forces unit with Leopards.

Barefoot on the firing line is stupider.
Choice of footwear is critical. I made the mistake this past winter of heading into the garden at 6 am while it was still dark wearing my boxers, tshirt and "rubba slippas" (as they say in Hawaii...the Pali brand flip flops) along with my suppressed Ruger SR22 pistol and a tactical light. I tried in vain to get a clean shot at the two feral rabbits that had eaten all my wife's loofas the day after she planted them, but they managed to keep a neighbor's house in the background and I could not get a clean shot. Rumor had it that they were some kid's FFA project gone wrong and released. They have finally disappeared, so I assume the coyotes finally got them. Back to footwear...the chiggers tore me up...my muck boots would have been a much better choice although they really don't go well with boxers.
