00:00.000 --> 00:02.417
(rock music)

00:03.773 --> 00:05.696
- I'm qualifying over 100 personnel

00:05.696 --> 00:08.670
in either American marksmanship
or German marksmanship.

00:08.670 --> 00:10.710
This was an opportunity for the Germans

00:10.710 --> 00:13.610
to shoot and qualify in the
American marksmanship award

00:13.610 --> 00:17.158
for the M11 weapon system as
well as the M4 weapon system.

00:17.158 --> 00:19.769
And now our goal was to qualify

00:19.769 --> 00:23.730
American Army, Navy, Air
Force, Marines, and Coast Guard

00:23.730 --> 00:25.114
on the Germans' weapon systems.

00:25.114 --> 00:25.947
- [Man] Fire when ready.

00:25.947 --> 00:28.010
(gun shots)

00:28.010 --> 00:30.430
- It's a great experience because

00:30.430 --> 00:32.260
I never shot the American weapons.

00:32.260 --> 00:34.398
This is one of the basic and elementary

00:34.398 --> 00:37.315
aspects you have to have as a soldier.

00:37.315 --> 00:40.023
Even a baker needs to
know how to make bread,

00:40.023 --> 00:40.856
(gun shot)

00:40.856 --> 00:42.544
and we need to know how to shoot weapons.

00:42.544 --> 00:44.730
(gun shot)

00:44.730 --> 00:46.398
- It just helps us work together

00:46.398 --> 00:48.135
and gives us that one-on-one time.

00:48.135 --> 00:51.130
You need to be able to,
at a moment's notice,

00:51.130 --> 00:52.308
pick up a rifle and go

00:52.308 --> 00:53.141
(gun shot)

00:53.141 --> 00:55.023
defend our country or attack our enemies.

00:55.023 --> 00:56.700
And if you stay maintained,

00:56.700 --> 00:58.430
and you work through the fundamentals

00:58.430 --> 01:00.271
and get practice and care about it,

01:00.271 --> 01:02.137
you'll be that much more lethal

01:02.137 --> 01:04.480
and have a better chance
of winning the fight

01:04.480 --> 01:05.313
and coming home.
