Firearm Training Prints

Boy Scout: 'Hey, my dad promised that I'd get a gun.'

'Yes, as a matter of fact, you have caught me at a bad time.'

"I warned you about the recoil on that one."

'Any wilderness skills besides making smores?'

"Looks like your rock cakes are a big hit this year, dear...."

"Heck of a shot, son, but that's not a deer."

A Rifle Competition in the North

Firearms Museum. Blunderbuss. That's funny, I always thought a "blunderbuss" was a messed-up kiss.

The Appearance of the Gatling Machine-Gun in 1864 caught the world by surprise.

'This one is for Hide and Seek.'

"I'm using a silencer!"

"… and once you've finished advanced infantry training, you'll be assigned to film school."

"Cruz! Are you eyeballin’ me? Eyes shut during savasana! You hear me? Lance, get up and give me 10 headstand pushups to help Cruz here shut her eyes."

"Bullets seem like overkill. What if I shot him with staples?"

'Today we're going to simulate rough weather conditions.'

Forget about the college basketball tourney, endless drilling in 100-degree summer heat is the real "march madness."

"For extra protection, this one is armed with a tiny gun of its own."

"When it comes to surviving, you're learning from the best."

"Dang! This guy's good!"

Yeah, maybe replacing the clay pigeons with clay big game wasn't smart.

“Sarge - When do I get to blow shit up?”

'March up that hill! And smile once in awhile, will you!'

'…and if you feel dizzy and pass out - pass out lying at attention!'

'Kicks a little.'

Competition disappears. You'll have the field to yourself!

Think hard soldier! When I threw the practice grenade, did you hear me say 'fetch'?

'Welcome to boot camp. You'll be staying in hut two-three-four.'

Extreme camouflage

"Rustle when I call your name and I'll bring your diploma to you."

"You call that a push-up!? My mother can do better. Work it!"

"Neither one of us wants any trouble."

'The stove must have been on for about four days. The neighbors said that's about how often you came home.'

"Darn, men! How often must I repeat it!? Blow!! Never suck!"

"Same old, same old, men seem intimidated by a strong woman..."
