I went to my favorite indoor range today to get in a little target practice. The guy in the lane next to me had a red laser attached to his pistol. Kind of hard to miss it as he was flashing it all over the place down range. Then I noticed the red dot on the head of his silhouette target at about 10 yards. He was firing a shot about every 3 or 4 seconds. His rounds were hitting perfectly in the chest even though he was focusing the laser squarely at the head of the target.
I thought “This guy must be into psychological tactics or something.”
Then he moved the target to 15 yards, fired some more, then moved to 20 yards and fired a few more rounds. The laser hitting the head area, the rounds hitting center chest.
He stopped firing. I stepped back so I could see what he was doing. He appeared very agitated. He was looking at the gun and the laser as if confused. I started to ask if he needed some help but he gave me a dirty look and waved me off. I really don’t think he spoke much English. Anyway he broke out the instructions for his apparently new laser and was still playing with it when I left the line.
