How Do BFAs Work?

Hell you listening to him for?

A few weeks ago, while I was shooting my P226 on the range, there were some Asian thug dudes (Koreans, I think) who had rented the AR-15 and were trying it out. I remember one of them even shot some pretty decent groups, too.

When I was at the Calicunte (spl?) gun range getting my small game liscense, two guys were trying out an AR Carbine (It was either a Colt or a Bushmaster) and they obviously had no clue how to use it. They were trying out the box of 20 .223 Wolf ammo that came free with the gun. I stood by watching, keeping to myself as they attempted to load the magazine. They tried to slide the rounds in from front to back, when the STANAG mags require that you simply snap them in. By doing what they did, they made loading the mag much harder. I corrected them on this but they had no idea what I was saying.

Then one of the guys loads the magazine in (It bugged me how he didn't slap the back of the magazine to set the bullets) and racked the charging handle. He aims, pulls the trigger, and the gun clicks. He racks the action again and I notice no dud round flies out. I walk over and ask if I can see the gun. He complies and hands it to me. First I remove the mag and set the rounds because that's how I roll. Then I loaded the magazine in, pressed it in so it was FULLY in the gun, then racked the charging handle and gave it back.

The guy could see I knew my shit and offered me some trigger time. I made the mistake of not wearing ear protection. After three rounds I heard nothing but ringing!

Then I reloaded the magazine and did it PROPERLY, which they finally realized was the correct manner. I got to shoot two more rounds and his friend got to shoot three. It was a fun gun but it is probably stuffed in a closet somewhere, still uncleaned from its last firing, since I can assume he was that type of shooter.

Also, I live in Texas and I regularly see "gangsta"-type dudes (mostly Latinos) come into my local FFL when I'm there. Most of the time, they ask for something pretty specific - like a "Glock Fo-tay", or a "Ruger Fo-Five".

If I was the gun owner I'd tell them to leave. I would never sell guns to people who carry them to kill enemy gang members while firing them sideways (or shady individuals who fit this role). The cool concept of "Bandit shooting" in which the recoil is used to do a horizontal sweep is completely unknown to gangsters and they hold the gun sideways simply because it "looks cool."

They could use one of these:
