Gun Gripes Episode 60: Range Ninjas

[@KamakazeTaco]

Aren't ninjas usually known for being quiet and stealthy? This sounds more like a range peacock or something.

[@davc6879]

a range Rambo

[@MrPunisher2268]

I used to be a range ninja. Then my grandfather smacked me up side the head and told me I was a dumb ass.

[@mattyfizzle]

Thanks Gramps! Lol jk anyways it's good that he set you straight. Shit I get nervous going to the range with people I actually know unless I know they've been around guns long enough to understand safety let alone randos in the lanes next to me who don't know what they're doing. We all make mistakes but the range is definitely not the place to make any. Big ups to grandpa lol!

What, in the fuck, have you done to that poor Mosin-Nagant?!

I wanna know what "the orbit" is.

[@Bonerfiesta]

Not just any kind of orbit, but THE orbit. The orbit that rules all the other orbits, the one neither America nor the Soviet Union could reach.

[@aadam-kz5my]

A 30 round magazine clip in half a second ghost gun would be the only weapon capable of achieving the slug orbit. :)

[@dylanmorgan2752]

+aadam1410 I think that senator was also talking about a 50 cal slug anti material rifle, which is also capable of a trans orbital shot

[@natewitecki7826]

One time I went shooting 22 with my dad at our local indoor range, and while I was loading up some magazines this pretty skinny guy and his girlfriend walk in, I'm like, don't let this be what I'm thinking, then he pulls out a 357 magnum revolver(forgot what model) and hands it to the girl. She walks up to the lane and shoots it once, it flies back and hits her flat in the chest, almost knocking her over. That guy picked up the same gun and shot it, getting hit in the face instead, they quickly unloaded the revolver and skitted out.

[@Lactovacilo939]

Ethan Wiggins the wre probably not used to firing guns. a 357 is pretty powerful and if you fire with a loose hand it can fuck you up.

[@tehkoalainsurgency]

I love Gun Gripes, it's by far one of my favorite shows to watch. I'm a late bloomer to the gun community and this show has been incredibly helpful shaping my firearm education. I will miss Barry, one of the best teachers I ever had. I never comment but I had to at some point. This is by far the best community I've been in, mainstream media tried to keep me away but they can't keep people away from truth and reason for too long.

Yeah I miss Barry and his incredible delivery of the scene from Patton. Brilliant. 😂

[@timspellman47]

I am so glad my range doesn't have any 1 shot per second rule. My range allows safe fast fire if u aren't safe then they restrict how fast u can shoot. If there is someone next to me that is trying to sight in his gun or some other accuracy tweeking then I will not fast fire while they are firing. It's just having common courtesy.

[@chriskelly509]

at a local range they told me 1 round per second and I asked what happened for them to make that rule, 8 feet above in the over head cover there are bullet holes in the ceiling area.... the range officer said "that's why"

[@timspellman47]

Chris Kelly84 Yeah unfortunately there are a lot of people who shouldn't be shooting because they don't understand the gravity of the situation.

[@bugchingy]

The only rule at my range is don't hit the wall ceiling or target mount. Full auto and rapid fire aloud

[@binkymagnus]

Suburban Northern Virginia, indoor range, dude in 5.11 pants, 5.11 boots, tinted Oakley safety glasses, and (empty) ballistic plate carrier shooting the floor with an EOtech equipped AR. Was he a ninja?

[@unocarb]

binkymagnus Very ninja san! Shinobi style loser lol

[@nightlighter117]

binkymagnus shit I love 5.11 pants. The plate carrier thing is a range ninja thing. Unless he is actually training with plates in it.

[@nicholasfernandez7720]

yeah all thats fine but he should at least have plates in it. i usually cant stand the amount of hate people like this get (ninjas). they dont deserve any of it. and hell yeah im gonna rapid fire im gonna have fun. i train alot and by train i dont mean (their definition of practice which certainly is practice but its not something that includes a whole lot of a defensive mindset. basically a fudd's definition of training. any way iv8888 has changed over the years to include a whole lot more things revolving around tactics and just plain fun) "earl" from the nra standing at a still range with a false sense of security. i mean taking classes on a regular basis and reading up, dry fire, etc. i am a firm believer in that you train how you fight. and lets face it. the fight is nothing like the still range. its important yes, though its not enough to be as efficient as possible under stress. i know i went on an internet rant, and im sorry but my point is that why should it matter? its his choice. if he fucks up let him learn the lesson. dont be a kill joy about it, but i do love how yall had a nice joking attitude towards it

On a personal level I also apply the term to guys who show up in tactical gear with an attitude just to plug holes in paper, then turn around and shit-talk sports like airsoft by calling the players "posers" when the same logic can be applied to themselves.

[@noahc2761]

Agreed.

[@chriscosby51]

ViperBite agreed there's some pretty cool airsoft guns I don't play but I played back in the paintball days hey whatever you find fun that's cool.

[@nf4866]

I kind of want to try airsoft, but I don't know what kind of people normally go. When I used to go paintball as a kid it was alawys people my age, and one like 40 year old guy. Sometimes he was cool and gave us tips, but a lot if times he was a weirdo trying to bond with kids. I'd need to get someone around 26 to go with me so I wouldn't be secluded alone the whole time.

[@kristiankemker9891]

I miss Barry, I am so thankful for theses videos to allow me to have known him. I discovered this channel after he passed sadly, but please know he lives on and is still appreciated through his work here.

[@Spidouz]

The new range ninjas are the "Instagram Shooters"... people that spend more time to pose and take hundreds of pictures for their Instagram or Facebook page to show that they "have" guns and they're cool, etc... instead of practice shooting guns :)

[@Spidouz]

John Webster Exactly... nor even have any Facebook or social network with my real name, my face, etc... Not that I have anything to hide, not at all, but just that I don't think it's very wise to show the world (including the government) what you have. They already know more than enough and it's none of their business. And I'm not an anti-government. I actually do believe in Rules of Law... I just like the government to be as small as possible. My 2¢

[@vincedibona4687]

I just don't understand broadcasting everything you do for others to see. I like my privacy and not letting everyone know what I do with what I have and where I do it. No Book Of Faces, Twitter, Instagram, Twitch, none of that for me.

[@DanBeaird]

I live in a small town where the houses are fairly close together. One new year night at exactly midnight our cable went out. The next morning I went out to check our line and found in the alley where someone had fired a shotgun in the air with what appeared to be small game shot. They hit the lines on the pole running down the alley. I can not understand what goes through peoples heads that makes them think stuff like that is safe.

[@mikewhitman745]

They were just following Biden's instructions, I'm sure their house was being broken into and we were all told to shoot shotguns randomly into the air. I bet some people are stupid enough to think it's a good idea.

[@SavageShooter93]

I have a "high dollar" range ninja story everyone will laugh about, this was a good 6-7 years ago when I first started really getting into shooting. I was at my local gun club plinking at 300yds with my 22wmr and this guy walks in with a barret 99 in the .416 barret cartridge hes got the massive pelican case and a seperate case for his scope and spends a good 15 minutes trying to get the scope mounted into a larue bracket and on his gun (obviously the first time shooting the thing) and I just ignored him I was busy testing different ammo brands and gathering drop data, and didnt want to seem like a jerk going over and asking him if he needed help. Anyway at 300yds the 22wmr is no powerhouse and I was shooting at an 8" round steel gong target and when the round hits there is a barely audible ping, anyway I noticed that every time I would shoot this guy would look over his shoulder at me and shake his head or snicker or something similar, so after 30-40 rounds I finally got tired of it and went over and said (in the most condescending tone possible) "it looks like your having problems mounting that scope. Dont worry some people just have a tough time the first time they do it" He got pretty mad and said something about it being a new scope and mount, and then quipped " its not like Im mounting a scope on a little girls rifle so it takes time" and he looked over at my gun and forced a laugh, that really pissed me off. So I told him I could outshoot him on any gun he chose and since he never shot his barret before I could probably outshoot him with my 22wmr at 300yds against his gun. Well we got his scope mounted, and he got behind it to start zeroing the scope and when he shot the first round he was soooo not ready for the punishing recoil and muzzle blast of that damn thing that he actually stood up and shook his head like he was seeing stars. ( I really should have told him how to sit, he was really crooked in the seat, and in some wierd Tom Berringer "Sniper" inspired position, but I wanted him to feel the shame, and eat some humble pie. Not the most responsible thing to do I know, but hes a big dude at least 6' 220 so I figured he could take it) I asked to shoot it and he was happy to let me try hoping Id get kicked just as hard, but I set up right, I put it on the bipod not sandbags and wood blocks, and didnt have an issue. its a hard recoiling round to be sure, but Id rather shoot that Barrett .416 than a .300 win mag out of a 9lb hunting rifle. I showed him how to sit square behind the gun and showed him use the bipod with a few sandbags behind the feet. And really lean into the bipod to mitigate the recoil, well he was still just terrified of that gun, and I cant blame him thats one hell of an introduction to a gun, and he couldnt land more than 1 out of 5 on the 300yd target after I had zeroed him. he was flinching like mad. Anyway I won our little "competition" and took one of his super expensive bronze alloy .416 rds as a prize and he didnt come back for a few weeks, when he did he has a Savage 93 22wmr just like mine, and is actually a pretty cool guy. He was very eager to learn to shoot, he is a quick study and has the patience for it. He stepped up in guns and calibers as he got better and is now just as good as I am He did eventually get back to shooting his Barrett and he isnt afraid of it anymore. Moral of the Story? Dont spend $9,000 and another $3,000 on a scope to put on an anti material sniper rifle for your first gun...

[@osunightfall]

I like how your story ended up. There's nothing wrong with serving a little humble pie, but a true gentleman will attempt to instruct and turn it into something positive.

[@DeFaZeDxxPREdATOR]

What the hell is wrong with a 300 win mag? I don't understand why some people are so deathly afraid of the more powerful rounds. Hell, after shooting my dad's 300 ultra mag at 15, I wanted one...

[@SavageShooter93]

Zach J There is nothing wrong with a .300 win mag, All i said was I would rather shoot all day with a heavy ass Barrett in .416 all than a 9lb .300 Win Mag. And as a first experience someone unprepared for a round like a .300 win mag or any hard recoiling round isnt good, Especially when they arent set up correctly and the recoil actually knocks the hell out of them.

[@DeFaZeDxxPREdATOR]

SavageShooter93 Okay, I got the impression that you were making it out to be a horribly painful gun to shoot, and it honestly isn't. Just messing around, you probably punch your buddies in the shoulder harder than the gun will ever kick, be that .300 win mag or .300 ultra mag. I'm also curious who let him buy a .416 as his first rifle.

[@The_Cholo]

SavageShooter93 22s would be fun to shoot if they were fun to shoot, granted it is dirt cheap, the same can be said for 7.62 in a rifle, no recoil, cheap to shoot, you can pop a few thousand rounds a day through it with no issue whatsoever. even in a pistol the 9mm is dirty dirt dirt cheap and wont put a quarter inch of recoil on your wrist even if you barely hold the fucker, point being, 22 being fun to shoot seems to come from people who either cant handle anything bigger or simply are inexperienced and havent had the chance to shoot any round of actual substance

I took my new M&P 15-22 to an indoor range, and I'll tell you, that's a hard gun to shoot only once a second. Luckily, it was towards the end of the day, and the range was clearing out. I loaded up a 25 round mag, and as soon as the only other shooter left walked out the door, I dumped the whole mag downrange. I just had to do it once, and I didn't know when the next opportunity would arise. But I would never have done it with other people there, because that shit is annoying, but it's also really fun.

[@anthrophunter3642]

Let me tell you guys something....I have never heard of, nor read about, nor seen a video of a trained or untrained officer using his firearm is a self defense situation, shooting at the rate of fire of 1 shot per second. If you never shoot higher rates of fire and practice at higher rates of fire, you are handicapping yourself should you be put in a self defense situation. Shame on a range that only wants you to target shoot your pistol and shame on another shooter who thinks he is being disrupted by gunfire at whatever rate! Its a blessing that someone is spending their money to give you that distraction and added stress.

[@toomanyaccounts]

guess what those officers who rapid fire without making sure to aim their shots will miss every shot and empty their mag and go click click click click click thinking their gun is malfunctioning.

That particular rule is more aimed (no pun intended) at preserving the state of the range. Ranges are obviously designed take bullets, but the walls and ceiling are usually only designed to withstand a rare errant shot. allowing every Call of Duty wannabe to mag dump as fast as they can is going to rack up a lot of damage.

[@dajhrm]

Its not wrong to buy a nice firearm and put quality components on it is it?

Wouldn't "range ninjas" be useful at indoor ranges?

This way you know you can get a tight group even when under a stressful situation.

[@BodaciousRodsNCustoms777]

my only criticizim of this post is the misuse of the term ninja, i always thought of them (ninjas) as experts , skills and techniques on the verge of super human. To liken an idiot or a jerk or a gun wielding simpleton seems to miss the whole point of the ninja moniker. as far as what you guys have to say about them (regardless of term), i couldnt agree more.

[@UMAMIMAMU]

I kind of agree. I fully get the term mall ninja, implying the dude who buys goofy stars, swords, and other BUDK sourced crap from the kiosk at the mall. Range ninja on the other hand sounds more like a term of endearment to me.

Speaking of money vs practice, the other day I met 2 newbys at my local gun range. One had a Kimber, the other had a high point. The guy with the high point outshot the Kimber guy 10/10, although we all know that Kimber is higher quality. That day, practice prevailed over money spent on the gun.

[@scottstewart1974]

Gear Queers. Lol. If you're running a rig that requires 6+ batteries, maybe you have too much crap. Lol

[@kingtut8367]

Dont say rig. That is probably the most cringy word.. fuckin hicks

[@SuperBellicose]

I agree with your video, but that is the ugliest Mosin I have ever seen.

[@timturner7609]

Sometimes after a long day at work I like to go to the range just to hear the noise and feel the recoil. Destress and unwind. As long as im on paper im happy. Sorry for being such a miserable shit and ruining your trigger control.

[@roadwolf2]

What I consider a range ninja is a guy that turns up at the range and proceeds to fire hi power ammo even though the range isn't built for it

[@NegativeHeadspace]

I miss Barry. Again. Glad he was there in the grand scheme of yt. He is immortal. That's poetic, I think.

[@trevordrew2302]

i cant stand those guys that rent the huge guns for their girlfriends. i take my girlfriend to the indoor range and rent her(and myself) a little .22 whatever and i bring my 9mm and she has a great time and so do i. i let her shoot the 9mm, but that isn't some huge load for her to shoot and when she does shoot it i only put one round in just incase she double taps or whatever else might happen. you gotta just think of everyone around you and not be a fool...

[@stashe45]

what i hate is the people that you run into when hunting and they look like they just bought a cabela's and got that big $50,000 truck and they have a little button buck or scraggly looking dear and act like it was the greatest kill in the world

[@matthewcharles850]

Well be happy cause the way you talk you kill B&C deer every year, they enjoyed their hunt, put meat on the table, managed population, and got out in the woods, that's what matters!

[@runawaygun762]

My little button buck was the greatest kill in the world because it was my first deer and I put meat on my family's table. Granted, it looked a whole lot bigger from the stand and when I got down to it, it looked like I killed the neighbor's dog. I don't care, it was great.

[@I5ZQ8]

I agree 10000% with the jackasses at the range.....rapid fire like they own the place I am so glad when they get kicked out....we try and go to have fun and maybe blow off steam and work on your shooting skills. also love the Bushmaster AR15s with EoTechs.....sights cost as much as their weapons. lol

[@damiion666]

That's why u go to an outdoor range. Just because you don't like to shoot more than one shot per second, doesn't mean that others don't want to blow off a 30-round mag for shits n grins. I'm lucky enough to live in Nevada where I can go out in the desert and shoot any gun I want, as loud and fast as I can without some safety sally walking up to me asking me to tone it down

[@I5ZQ8]

I completely understand where you are coming from. They need to go to an outdoor range to do that tho. I go to my ranch to blow off my 100rd Surefire mag on my AR15 as fast as I can....it's a blast. But not at an indoor range. Rules are set for a reason and those people that do that at indoor ranges are what bother me.

[@JoshBenware]

I don't get what everyone's problem is...1 shot per second when indoors? Glad our indoor ranges aren't so lame. Who sucks that bad that it takes a full second to make another shot on paper? Geez, it's like arguing for gun control with these stupid rules. I guess some people really suck at shooting.

[@Mike611000]

This is a great rant and needed to be said. I recently took my son in-law to a range in Orlando to do some rental hand gun shooting. I was shocked that no proof of safe gun handling ability was required. My son in-law had never fired a gun in life. They wanted to give him whatever he wanted even a machine gun. I selected a Glock 17 for us to share so I could give him some basic instruction. On his own he would be a danger to himself and everyone in there.

[@somethingbrutal666]

IV8888's channel won't ever be the same without Barry. We miss you Barry.

[@richstone2627]

I love you guys but you're crying about range ninjas and you have a bubbafied range ninja Mosin on the counter .

[@startledlobster8603]

Michael Stone whats wrong with it?

[@bradleypeterson2208]

+Startled Lobster The EoTech is more expensive then the rifle! *Disclaimer - I am a Mosin owner, I have nothing against them.

[@startledlobster8603]

Bradley Peterson well nevermind then! i didnt know those were so expensive

[@bradleypeterson2208]

yeah, its pretty insane. You get what you pay for; trijicons, aimpoints, and eotechs are pretty much bomb proof.

[@d3v3nn3y]

+Bradley Peterson I have 5 rifles but one eotech so whenever someone sees the eotech on they always say that but I put the eotech on ever rifle when I want to shoot it

[@LordSStorm]

So IR, What about the guy with the decked out AR with the kitchen sink who goes out and shoots safely, asks for help when he needs it and actually tries to exercise the principles of marksmanship? It seems like you guys, and many others care more about what a person's gun looks like than how they shoot. I get griping about unsafe or stupid people. But craping on people who aren't purists is something that I don't like about the gun community. You shit on the guys who buy cheap weapons and accessorize them, then you shit on the people who buy expensive weapons and accessorize them, and you claim that they are the dangerous ones. Really? Without any knowledge of what hes going to do to try to operate that weapon properly, hes a POS because of his accessories.

[@SavageShooter93]

you're right there are a few people who are new and went and bought lights and lasers and foregrips and all sorts of other stuff just because they think they need it. they may not know much but its not important because they know they need help. those people arent "range ninjas". They are just new shooters who havent had to work through issues with gear yet. they will learn in just a few hours that having all that crap on the gun really sucks Its the people with everything and the kitchen sink who think they know everything because they play call of duty or watched Black Hawk Down 47 times that are the range ninjas. The whole thing about the way the gun looks is an indicator, people who are experienced, and or who do more than sit on a bench with an AR-15 and punch paper at 100yds usually figure out pretty quick that all that crap hanging off of a gun is useless for what they do. Sure I could mount a $700 IR laser on my gun, or even a cheap $50 one but why? I dont need it, I barely "need" a flashlight. After carrying a gun in a class for a while you realize how crappy it is to have a 9-10lb AR, something that is pretty easy to do with a big heavy rifle length quad rail, a surefire light and mount a laser and a foregrip. not to mention a stock full of batteries ( something Ive never understood, use a damn pocket) So seeing a guy with a gun that just has everything ever made hanging off the side is usually a pretty good indicator that he is either brand new and doesnt know much which is perfectly fine we were all new once, or has been parking that monstrosity for years on a bench and punching paper and since he has "ran an AR for years" he thinks he/she knows everything regardless of the fact that they have probably never even shot the gun while standing.

[@Porty1119]

+SavageShooter93 I carry when exploring mine sites way out in the boonies. Damn straight I wouldn't want a ten-pound rifle to deal with, on top of carrying water, first-aid gear, lights, and a log/map book.

[@iantusa9207]

Calling a mag dump unsafe is ridiculous. You guys gripe about such stupid stuff, if they pay their time and obey range rules (which many allow rapid fire) then who are you to gripe? I don't like black powder or large caliber pistols next to me when I'm going for accuracy, well guess what when the time comes that I need to shoot back I don't get to be picky about what is going on around me. Learn to shoot under adverse conditions, call out unsafe behavior but don't cry about the way people have fun or prefer their gun set up. Talk about lack of perspective. The presumptions you lay on people is astounding.

[@eldanardo5477]

"i guess they thought they went into orbit" excellent

[@avshutsach]

An Archery "Range Ninja" is someone who buys a high end compound bow then proceeds to slap on some weight compensaters and a drop free arrow rest and high end sight and then fires 3 arrows at a time

[@Frank-Biddle]

My gun, my ammo, my bumpski stock. kiss my you know what, I paid to go to the range just like you, don't be mad, because I can afford nicer stuff. Also at my local range (indoor) shoot what you want, when you want, however you want. You guys sound like liberals! I do agree with safety though, buy guns you know you can handle and always practice safety.

[@Frank-Biddle]

Well then you can go to another range or go talk to the owner and tell them to change their policy. Due to the comments I am going up to the range this week with a 12 gauge and 40 shells. Why? Because I can! "And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm Free!"

[@SuperZeke86]

Frank Biddle you have the mentality of a 13 year old boy who's mad at the world. Who hurt you to have this "because i can" mentality. Grow up.

[@Frank-Biddle]

I'm not mad, I'm quite happy at the range with friends and co workers shooting off our stuff we bought. It will be OK, some day you will grow from a .22 and then you too can be happy shooting better weaponry. You'll grow up someday.

[@connorburnette556]

It don't freakin matter if u pay for range time if u are being unsafe u should leave (I'm not a freakin liberal if I don't want to die from dumb people who R range ninjas)

[@Frank-Biddle]

Connor, Shaking my head, please go on and explain to me how I am being unsafe?

[@nickmccarty6249]

Range ninja pistol edition: if you put a bayonette on your handgun, you are a range ninja! Lol

[@PineyJustice]

It just depends on the situation, but subtly messing with them till they move is priceless.

[@cgraham861]

I ran into a GROUP of these at the range yesterday. These guys show up with the latest tactial gear including war belts, all of the Magpul gear (mags, holders, etc). Magpul furniture on their rifles. Loud obnoxious comps. Piles of mags. LaRue hats. Aimpoint minis. They proceed to blow piles of rounds at targets 7ft away. I show up to check my 1911 sights and spring changes I made. I got 5 targets. Unsolicited one of them gave me a hard time for buying so many targets. Seriously.

[@charlessexton1719]

What gets me is when you are at the range and people don't let you know that they are stepping out of the firing line to go check on their targets. they just walk out without saying a word.

[@cheekibreeki1059]

You forgot the guy who says "on your six" when he's walking behind you

You guys make a ton of sense. Thank you. Subscribed.

Do not ever loose respect for the amount of power in your hands for one second. Good vid.

I like it when range ninjas do a mag dump. The noise and conkoson is good for training. RIP Barry

[@seanhazelwood3311]

After more than one incident of range stupidity, I will never again in my life go to a public range, nor a private range that i don't control.

[@LaBalaDePlata432]

Slide fire stock. Ultimate ninja accessory! Most folks would agree that the only things you need on your ar,are:

[@nukedukem267]

Where I come from, a range ninja is one that comes to the range with anything else than a bolt action rifle.

[@chriscosby51]

That's why I live in the woods and set up a range in my back yard. I don't trust anyone with a weapon except very few that I know.

[@emperorpalpatine1228]

Sounds like the guy with the AR at my local range who was loud, boisterous and bragging about his AR.

[@310eraser]

Gotta love that customized Mosin Nagant on the table.

[@mitchel7477]

Watching gun gripes is like going back to a simpler time R.I.P. Barry

[@bravskii10]

In a national/international crisis, I like to think of my rife as the "tip-o-the-spear". Everything you prepare for leads up to you and your weapon. For example; you need ammunition for your gun. But the ammunition and magazines need pouches to be carried. And you need a belt to carry the ammo pouches. You also need cleaning supplies, a butt load of survival gear, food and water, camouflage to stay concealed when shooting, possibly a plate carrier if you can afford it with plates, and a plan based on the situation you're in. All this supports you and your rifles survival. It's been said many times before but... If you take care of your weapon, your weapon will take care of you. You can have the most powerful military ever, but without command or supply lines, it is useless. God with us and have a good one, y'all. RIP Barry. You will not be forgotten.

[@MathewTerry]

I like the trigger happy ones cuz it give you the chance to learn to concentrate wile there are loud distractions going on around you. ( as long as they are not causing a hazard)

[@TheTrinityKid]

My ninja story is a guy at my local range(outdoor). He had a bolt gun, and was dumping 458WinMags into a cardboard box. Geez that was loud.

[@stogieman]

While I'm not really what you'd generally call a "firearm fan", I have to say that I greatly admire the level-headed, responsible, intelligent manner in which you present, not only the factual info, but your own personal thoughts and editorial opinions, too. Well done, all the way around! Kudos.

Alternative range ninja: the guy who shows up with the $2000+ rifle, with a $2000+ piece of glass on it and then mag dumps and cant hit the broad side of a barn with a bench rest.

[@heavyhitta52]

was next to a guy today busting off shots with his AK screaming "say hello to my little friend!". RANGE JACKASS

[@noone42069]

The range ninjas are the guys who sit right next to me and my friends who are shooting 22s and he has a 300 WSM and is obnoxiously loud.

[@Deathspank227]

And I forgot to add that real ninjas do everything in their power to go unnoticed.
