Is it still okay to shoot at pictures of real people on a shooting range

Does this mean that the only people who should be allowed into the British armed forces these days must be ultra-right wingers who are happy to kill any British citizen whose political opinion differs from the far right?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostHave you ever fired a gun with the aim of killing an animal ( yes hunting with a gun is allowed in this country)?
Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostHave you ever being asked to point a gun at another human being?
Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostThe above questions sequentially raise in the consequences of firing a gun. A soldier not only has to be competent at the latter, but has to be prepared to squeeze the trigger. How do you think firing at concentric circles equips a soldier for performing this task that may be necessary in order to allow you to sleep safely in your bed at night.
And so, having answered your questions to prove my experience, I maintain that it is not ethical and never acceptable to use images of real people as firing practice.

Ah right, so you pulled the trigger on a dummy of the animals you were protecting, but somehow that doesn't translate into shooting the animals for real, whereas a picture of a human does translate?Comment

Off topic, but our training was always to not get into a situation where an animal would attack as, if that ever happened, we would have failed in our duties. The use of force would always be a last resort, but we had to train for this anyway.
I get that soldiers have to train to shoot a human shape - and that they may be called upon to do so for real. The question though is, is it ethically right to use an image of a real person. And ethically (as supported by the military given they are investigating this incident) is no.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
