You will never find that in the dark, and pissed.
Years ago I was a marksman. A classic training day was to stalk into a position, build a quick hide (or at the very least something that would enable you to take a shot in comfort applying all your marksmanship principles), and then leave. All of course without being seen. The training staff were on the roof of your target premis, with binos actively looking for you.
(obviously you and your rifle are all ghillied up).
I put my rifle down on the floor, did what I had to do in terms of creating a hide, then went to pick it up.
Fuck me could I find it??!
Meanwhile the training staff are on the radio .. "Giles ... take your shot .....". I was so flustered that I borrowed my partners 7.62, shot the blank into the floor making no attempt to even aim at the trainer on the roof to be told back "Brilliant!! Cant see you anywhere ... great skills..".
My partner (who was now equally flustered worried about where the fuck my gun was and having to lend me his) was told "Nick ... your shot .. ". He rushed into position, took aim .... Bang .... flowers and grass went everywhere in the muzzle vortex ... "Nick ... that was useless .... you've totally given your position away ..... Giles .... Top job .. "
Found my gun on the floor about half an hour later ...
