Yes I was really in the Marine Corps & I am now a Vetran twice over{ 1988/89 to 1994/97 inactive , Panama in 88/89 & Kuwait in 90 } Handling any gun shouldnt be a problem for anyone {its nothing more than a tool like a hammer or a shovel} , there really cant be a " natural " on any battlefield since everything you do is squad based for maximum firepower in small clusters. That is what keeps soldiers alive during conflicts.
These are things that take alot of time and work to learn and become proficent in nomatter who the person maybe. You really have to learn to trust everyone in youre squad and viceversa to be the very best they can be in their job to function as one if you want to go home intact. These are things that we as animals just dont seem to have any instinct for.
Rambo wouldnt make it 30 seconds in any real fight ,unless its in the script
I suppose some people take to learning some things faster than others may, but a non trained person in an engagement wouldnt be breathing for long regardless of how good they are with a weapon. No one can go it alone and unless you are in sync with those around you you will be alone.
Well what about those kids at Columbine they could last on the battle field because first of all as you know if you read the news (old news at that HAR,HAR!!!)they say that Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris were under the influence of some depressant pill which I guess helped them escape the fear of the cops coming which also should help on the battle field no fear=Uhh I guess shooting the enemy without a care in the world. Another example the guys from the North Hollywood shootout you can find the movie with this link www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000DC3VL/103-7622296-3887850?v=glance
they were also under the influence of some pill which made them kill the cops without a care in the world and not being afraid also they had Kalashnikov Russian made AK-47's (I wonder how they snuck those into the states)
those are 2 examples of people that were taken from real situations and I think they would last as long as any other soldier out there now I'm not doubting you this is just my opinion
p.s. have you ever held an ak-47 because if you have plz tell me all about them I really really REALLY!!!! Like ak-47's I dunno why they just are so ughhhhh I can't explain just plz tell me about it if you have held one and stuff before
