The U.S. Navy

[Larryjk]

Buckhunter, My son was a nuc' in subs and said all he ever got to shoot and qualify with was a Colt 45acp and shotguns. Said he wished the Navy would discover recoil pads and put them on the shotguns. They shot buckshot and slugs. The Marines on the subs had 9mm Berettas, M16s and a couple M60s in the locker. My son was qualified with both before he went in the Navy at 18.
