What's your favorite tactical / tacticool lingo or terminology?

"cartridge presentment positioning"

Just saw this twenty dollar term here in another thread. Spicy.

I occasionally do stages that start with the shooter kicking down a door before engaging targets but to the best of my knowledge, so far no-one has vocalized "Leroy Jenkins" and charging in. There was a story that people like to tell that involved Ray Chapman yelling something to the effect "get down all you nuns and school girls" then with out regard to threat/non-threat indicators furiously hosing every target on the stage.

There was some arguing over the fastest way to engage/evaluate non-threats inside a structure. It was Ray's turn to shoot and he said "All you nuns and school girls better hit the ground cus I'm shooting any m-f'r standing". He then ran through the structure and shot every target.

Orientate.

Arrrrrgh!

Any time I hear someone say that it just makes me want to pull my teeth out.

Did anyone say 'piece, roscoe or gat'? I was reading a thread elsewhere where a person was talking about how to draw his carry piece if someone was aiming a gun at him.

In a class, we had to draw and shoot. A gentleman brought some kind of 22 LR semi to class (oh, well) and on the draw threw it about 15 feet down range.

He said - I seem to have thrown my piece away. I've seen gat or roscoe used once in awhile.

Question, if someone throws his gat at you - do you try to catch it? What if it is a Colt Python?

Howdy,

Situational Awareness

Never heard that one until the Internet Gun Forums showed up.

Any time someone mentions it I write them off as being a Keyboard Kommando, Gun Store Kommando or Mall Ninja that has played "Call of Dooty" a few times too many.

Back in the "Day" it was called "paying attention" or "aware of your surroundings ".


Someone mentioned "Dude". I say "Dude" all the time.

Pretty sure Claude Werner uses that term quite a bit in his classes. Then again, back in the day he was an SF Team Leader too. :-)

I use "dude" a lot as well.

I also use "kit". I have tool kit. I have a fishing kit. I want a S&W Model 34 kit gun.

The term 'ruck' was used a lot during my brief sojourn in the National Guard. We went on ruck marches carrying our rucks. I don't recall that I've ever heard that term used elsewhere.
