The gang that couldn’t shoot straight.

The NYT “At War” blog gives a rundown of some reasons why the Taliban are poor rifle shots.

Short summary:

  • Poor fundamentals.
  • Excessive use of full-auto fire. (Timeless wisdom: “Aim low and keep your bursts short.”)
  • Weapons in crappy condition.
  • Ammo in crappy condition.
  • Bad and uncorrected vision.
  • Limited training.
