Kory Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I just can't seem to do a stage walkthrough without saying "bang bang" as I decide what order to engage the targets. Anybody else do this, or am I just weird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott R Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I count, one two...three four...etc. It is more productive than "bang bang" as you are going to have to count rounds at some point anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbadaboom Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I use a silencer so that I don't interupt the other shooters during their walkthrough. "Thwat, Thwat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypool40 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Best walkthroughs I ever heard were a a buddy named Jeff J. Only time I ever heard a shooter cautioned for language at a major. He'd talk to himself like this; Ok, I start off ovah here, I grab my piece and I'm gonna hammer these two scumbags, then I'm gonna shoot this son ofa bitch heyuh, oops I don't wanna forget about this c*** sucker hidin' back here.

EZ Bagger Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Definitely not the PC version that many would want to see on TV. Probably a heck of a lot of fun to shoot with, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypool40 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 true, but as I hate the olympics anyway, no real loss. OK, just my bad attitude, but I'm not into the UBER PC sham the olypics have become. Sure some events, track and field, wrestling etc, are classics, but the twirly thing on the floor exercise, ballroom dancing, and beach volleyball? Not so much. They are another group who is never going to like us, so I will not cow tow to them. Back to the thread, it was an amusing twist on the walkthrough "bang, bang, reload, bang bang...."

EZ Bagger Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I always wondered if doing the bang bang or some other version was subconsciously programming my mind to shoot at that same pace. And, if it was, was that a proper pace.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vluc Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'm with racerba...count the shots, mutter reload with elaborate hand gestures to indicate such....ah, we shooters and our rituals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I use the numbers myself 1,2...3,4...5,6...7,8...9,10...reload...1,2...etc I do this until I have the stage memorized. When on deck and doing my final walkthrough while the targets are scored, 1,2...3,4 becomes A,A...A,A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 bang, bang, bang, clear jam use some profanity bang, bang bang Had a lot of that til I fixed this extractor problem on this long gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Micah has it right, as usual. Numbers first, then alphas. It means more than you know. In the strategery phase, numbers are helpful. In the programming phase, they are alphas. SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWHaz Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I prefer the pffft! pffft! Oh oh - two squibs. I use the numbers myself 1,2...3,4...5,6...7,8...9,10...reload...1,2...etc Think about this. Instead of 1,2...3,4...5,6 If you have 3 targets in an array, 123456 If you have 2 targets then 3 targets, 1234...5678910.. and so on. It may help not program a pause in your shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwilliston Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I like to count, but I also like getting the cadence for what the shooting string is going to be. 1 2 3 4 5678 reload 12 34 56 7 8 9 reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
