    what do you qualify at? 300 meters? prone, kneeling standing?
    How big is the target?
    Is there different qual procedures for 5.56 and 7.62?

    Some are quite adept at shooting the breeze. :pac:

    You won't get detailed response here.

    Different tables are used for different weapons, AFAIK rifles are at 100, 200 & 300m. I get the impression its an overall score, Decathlon-like with each position scored and then an overall score calculated.

    AUG and Minimi (rare) are 5.56. MAG and several niche rifles are 7.62. You can't really compare MG fire against rifle fire, so there will be difference, although I don't know what those are. SMGs (rare) and pistols would be done differently also.

    Not only that but depending on what type of unit your in might depend on what tables you shoot and qualifying scores.

    Plus a target never refused a 5.56 or 7.62 ball point pen :p

    I'm guessing its the soldier in the kneeling position.

    Its not me, but it is an Irish army soldier.

    Do you like it?, I decided after the stick we got in AH that it was time stand up and be counted so to speak.
