It sort of amazes me at the high round counts I hear on all firearms forums. It sort of makes sense, though, if one is practicing repelling human wave assaults.
That said, I see that all sorts of "combat" type competitions have an appeal for many. Not me, but if that's someone's hobby, more power to them.
Guess my first marksmanship instructor, Sgt. Hunter, taught me wrong. That was when "spray and pray", popularized in Vietnam, had only just started started to influence civilian firearms practices and high capacity wonder nines were yet to arrive.
When you're an impressionable 14 year old kid, you can easily be led astray. It was his fault for stopping me when I'd done poorly after firing only ten rounds to counsel me on weapons and muscle control, trigger discipline -- all that associated Fudd stuff.
If I fire all 50 rounds from one gun per range session, it's because I don't want to carry a partial box home with me.
