Can anyone locate this image?

[MoviePropMaster2008]

This 'doctored' image of Ed Harris as a Navy SEAL (from the movie THE ROCK) is from an actual IMAGE that's been floating around on the net of two real SEALS (they pasted his face onto the body of the first man in the photo). But I need to get an ACTUAL copy of the original image. Anyone been able to find one? Thanks.

You'd think a Navy SEAL would show better trigger discipline.

While I'm not sure about the military practice on trigger discipline.

In Massad Ayoob's book, Combat Handgunnery. He mentions that "all the way through the early 1990s, FBI agents were taught to place their fingers on the trigger as part of the draw process." Then he goes on about accidental discharges from being startled, etc. Then the keep your finger outside the trigger guard until the actual moment to fire is born.

I after seeing so much pre-Cold war War photos, it seems that before the Vietnam War US Military units didn't give a shit about trigger discipline. I mean look at John Browning here:



Does he look like he gives a crap about his finger being on the trigger?

You can hardly apply modern ideas (no matter how much better they may be) to eras that predate them. Elmer Keith may have kept his finger on the trigger, but I don't think anyone here is going to suggest they know guns better than he did.

Also, quite frankly I don't think any of us are in a position to be criticising a Navy SEAL on his weapons handling.

I just though Navy SEALs were trained to keep their booger hooks off the bang switch, is all.

I've seen soldiers in Vietnam who kept their fingers under the trigger guard, not sure if that was a training procedure though. And FBI Agents were taught to draw their Glocks like that because of the long trigger pull. The accidental discharge was known as "Glock Foot" because you typically lost a toe when you made this mistake.

BTW, do you think anyone else could photoshop their head onto that Navy SEAL?

What the hell is a Booger Hook or Bang Switch?

[Gunmaster45]

Your finger is a booger hook, for obvious reasons. The bang switch is the trigger, for obvious reasons. Never heard that expression before?
