I laughed out loud at this and completely agree.

Two oddest calibers in my house are .45ACP and .357...but everyone has to have a badass wheel gun and a 1911 right? Everything else is 9mm and 5.56 including other 1911's. Now I am sure someone will say how worthless 1911's are..be sure to pull my zipper down with your teeth. I enjoy all guns :) but these oddly built rifles seem to just be people with too much time on their hands, but to each their own.
Whats wrong with you .45acp that’s one of my favorite that and my Kimber tactical pro ii
 
Never trained with and don't know Travis but solid rep. I imagine it was good. There is video of him on youtube when he was with BW. Rooftop battle in Najaf where they flew in after UN forces abandoned as I recall (Edit; he was running Bremmer's detail, huge fucking deal, as BW had Baghdad and central with Triple Canopy and Dyncorp splitting up the rest). He was pushing the range of 556 and crushing. If you trained carbine with him, check out how the weapon manipulations and reloads have changed since then. Guy was Force Recon too so not an amateur at that point. This is what 20 years of war and CQB gets you...we have fine tuned the shit out of how to fight with a rifle as well as CQB doctrine. The M4 has evolved and every detail of manual at arms has too. Crazy but true. Not saying that old standard mindset and getting on target and pulling trigger to make solid hits will ever be trumped but all the small stuff changing is huge on the same basic M16 platform we fielded in Vietnam.

Found them for you guys:
10 year update
Original...looking young here
This is a fun piece on how the platform evolved to MK18 and we have tailored the same basic weapon system from this to the sniper or DMR setup Travis fielded in the video above Gunfighter Moment - Kyle Defoor - Soldier Systems Daily

Good quote from long time Gunsite instructor Randy Cain...heard it once and it always stuck with me: "Owning a gun doesn't make you a gunfighter anymore than owning a guitar makes you a musician."

Training, skills, practice...matter.

I spent 3 months in Najaf, was part of the assault force that took the city. That’s where Donkey was killed :(

Merely Owning a gun doesn’t mean much, 100 million people own guns and maybe 5% know what they are doing with said gun. 5% is being generous, I used to go to the range quite a bit now I just go up into the mountains and do my own thing. People at the range make my already grey hair white.

The bond between a man and his ass....

I actually prefer to shoot at my mountain too. Much more relaxing and I don’t have to worry about anyone shooting me

I was at a little indoor range here in town where some seriously dumb fucks go...anyone long story short I got hit in the face with a .44 mag ricochet I’m the face. Haven’t been back to an indoor range.
 
Buddy at a public range got covered by these two guys twice. Each time he told them how bad that was and they needed to keep barrels pointed down range. Third time....he told them that their gross negligence and lack of adherence to multiple warnings had made him suspicious they were trying to kill him and make it look like an accident. Told them flat out if the barrel pointed at him again, we would assume deadly intent and open fire on them. He asked them to nod if they understood, then they packed up and left.

I'll use the indoor near my house for pistol bulls or function check on rifle if it's not crowded. Otherwise I have a private club, not nearly as close, and can usually get a private IPSC bay bermed on 3 sides. Can do close work with rifle but I use 100 yard zero so need the longer range to confirm.
