Rifle Range
Once we were taken to the camp rifle range to gain experience of firing live rounds. The instructors seemed quite nervous so there must have been some narrow squeaks in the past. We were allowed to fire five rounds with a .22 rifle, then five rounds with a .303 which had more of a kick and, finally, a burst with a Bren gun. This was our one and only time with live rounds in
our rifles. Only airmen who had managed to get their five rounds within a certain small area on the target were able to get further instruction.
