All Marines share a common warfighting belief: "Every Marine a rifleman." This simple credo reinforces the belief that all Marines are forged from a common experience, share a common set of values, and are trained as members of an expeditionary force in readiness. As such, there are no "rear area" Marines, and no one is very far from the fighting during expeditionary operations. The Marine rifleman of the next conflict will be as in past conflicts: among the first to confront the enemy and the last to hang his weapon in the rack after the conflict is won. Rifle Marksmanship, a Marine Corps Reference Publication, provides techniques and procedures for Marine Corps rifle marksmanship. Every Marine is first and foremost a rifleman. Rifle Marksmanship reflects this ethos and the Marine Corps' warfighting philosophy. This publication discusses the individual skills required for effective rifle marksmanship and standardizes the techniques and procedures used throughout the Marine Corps. It constitutes the doctrinal basis for all entry-level and sustainment-level rifle marksmanship training.

Principles of Quick Kill The U.S. Army Manual of Instinct Shooting, Revised In the 1960's, the U.S. Army developed an "Instinct Shooting" program based on the methods of world class "trick shot" champions like "Lucky" McDaniel. This unique training method enabled soldiers with limited shooting experience to engage aerial and ground targets from a variety of distances with surgical accuracy without using their rifle sights. Using the Instinct Shooting technique known as “Quick Kill” it's possible to shoot objects as small as paintballs and aspirin tablets as they are thrown in the air with a simple spring action BB gun! These lessons are sure to improve the clay, skeet, and trap shooter. Uncle Sam Teaches YOU! has taken the U.S. Army Training Text 23-71-1 and revised, edited, and reformatted it into a much more user-friendly and easy to read format. This manual, along with a basic BB gun will help you improve your quick-shot instinct shooting marksmanship skills to a level you never knew possible!

There are over forty-four million AR-15s and similar semiautomatic rifles owned by Americans. Popular adoption on such a monumental scale is indicative of more than a passing fad; only proven utility through long history creates such lasting—indeed growing—demand. Since the founding of the American republic, rifles—beginning with muzzleloaders and later semiautomatics—have been at the center of American history and pre-history. This book, by renowned historian and attorney Stephen Halbrook, is the definitive account of this centrality of repeating rifles to the American story—from its conception to the present day. Some factions of state and national politicians now seek to remake America in a different, novel image by rushing to ban and restrict access to firearms that have long been our heritage. As Halbrook decisively shows, theirs is a war against the Second Amendment and the tradition of freedom and self-sufficiency that has sustained our storied past. Our rights hang in the balance—not as lone pillars but, history shows, as dominos ready to fall in quick succession. Halbrook comprehensively reviews the historical, legal, and policy arguments advanced by gun prohibitionists and demonstrates that these bans are deeply antagonistic to our history, our interests, and our Constitution.
