Thanks for posting the weapon card from my collection. I have some more Air Force Carbine documentation that I recently acquired, but it may be up to 2 weeks before I can get it posted.

Having lived in area of the country with several missile sights. I can still remember seeing the Air Force pickups with the carbines in a rack in the rear window.

I was in the Air Force from June 1966 to April 1970, during my first two years we had to qualify on the firing range, we had just gotten the new M-16's, but that doesn't matter for now, it could have been carbines. What I want to point out is how the range and targets where setup.
If you look at the firing range picture above, you see no numbers or anything telling the airman what position on the range he occupies. Add to that as you looked down range at 100 yds there are maybe 50 white silhouettes shoulder to shoulder, also with nothing to ID which target was yours. I know many Airman Qualified by other shooters, shooting their target. Other Airmen didn't qualify because they where shooting someone else's target, what a cluster. After 1967 we no longer had to qualify on the firing range, that requirement was eliminated. I can see why. |
