Military training will suck the fun out of pretty much anything. I've been on both sides and can honestly say I enjoy shooting a .22 with my kids way more than an automatic weapon in the Army.

And it doesn't have to be about killing. We play shooting like people play darts. Hit the target for fun.

This is so true. Non-military friends talk about going to the gun ranges in Vegas where they can shoot M249s for absurd prices. All I can think about when I hear these stories is being on a broiling hot range in Oklahoma in the middle of July and having to go through cases of 5.56 because we sure as heck aren't going to go through the hassle of trying to turn unused ammo back in.
