There is no such thing as "overkill" there is only "OPEN FIRE!!" and "I need to reload!!".

 

You stole my sig.

Only governments worry about overkill.  Grunts worry about being killed cause the guy was underkilled.

Seriously true story bro.

Have you seen the Chris Rock vid on that?

Only heard about it, thanks for the link.

Actually had something similar happen when I was running Deadlands:  Hell On Earth (Post-Apocalyptic Goodness!).  One of my players was finishing up his character, and then smacked his head, "Bullets.  OK, how much are bullets."  "For your big ass gun?  Five dollars."  "That's not so bad."  "Each."  "...  ...  ...  DAMN!"

It made for one of the best intimidation lines I've ever heard in a game:  "You're four dollars worth of annoyance right now.  My bullets cost five dollars.  Do not become a more expensive problem."

Yep, that guy is a professional marksman pistol com shooter. But theres a reason he's that good and that fast at reloading. His gun, totally customized. The part that matters to the reload is a beveled magazine well. On top of that, his kit is not made for combat retention just competition shooting, which makes it very simple for him set it up however's fastest for him. Lastly, He gets Paid the BIG Cred to practice that movement until he's that fast and he's been doing it I've heard at least 1,000 times a day for years. Throw all those together, He's got a serious leg up against any non competition shooter or fighter in a combat situation. (IMO, Bullets coming at you while doing ANYTHING changes EVERYTHING.) But at the same time, It's a testament to how important training muscle memory is. (He's half the reason I Drilled mag changes and malfunction drills every time my company went to the field.)

Never such a thing as too much training just because of muscle memory.  Even if the brain shuts down (Or is trying to tell the body, "Hey Bob!  You're DEAD!  Fall down!"), the body can still go through the rote motions.

Something like that. For me it was more a matter of when my brain hits fight or flight I need it to be able to do this just as well as if i hadn't lost all of my gross motor control... At least until I come out of the Black enough to be back in the red or the yellow.

I am not as fast as that guy, but slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

My best was probably doing live fire stuff in the killhouse. One of the observers came up to me after "This course required a reload! You never reloaded!"

I just pointed to my empty mag on the floor.

"oh. Nice reload!"

Muscle memory ftw.

This sounds totally possible! Just take one of those M60's attach the forward hand grip, and affix 1913 tac rails on the under frame running inbetween the bipods.(Yes I know it would impead folding of the bipod.)

I *knew* I had seen something similar once...
