#Realism

Australian-based Marathon Targets has been quietly changing the scene in the past several years when it comes to making live fire ranges much more realistic and dynamic by using autonomous moving target systems. The systems are starting to see use all around the world, from the Marine Corps in the United States, Australian infantry marksmanship programs, and even are expanding into the Middle East with some of the Gulf countries.

To begin with, I want to break the concealed carry world into three categories. Because we have very little relevant and legitimate statistics on Americans who conceal carry, I’m going to go off of my personal experience and interactions, which I hope should mirror the experiences of many other gun owners.

No, I’m not actually putting a military grade optic on a child proof toy worth barely a fraction of a brand new XPS2-2. However, with the Rival line of Nerf guns, you can have an automatic mini golf ball size thingy firing contraption, complete with built in MAGPUL sights (they really look like MAGPUL sights!), a top picatinny rail (the Zeus has side rails!!!), and a 3 lb trigger job (Ok, I’m making that up), all yours for $49.99 at approximate retail (my sources tell me that Hasbro doesn’t mess around with that MSRP nonsense, they cut to the chase in wording). You don’t even have to go through all that Class III jazz, for an automatic firing contraption, I think that’s the best somewhat (not really) FFL related deal I’ve ever encountered.
