00:00.527 --> 00:02.999
- [Speaker] Stand by.

00:02.999 --> 00:04.573
(popping from gunfire)

00:04.573 --> 00:08.240
(high-intensity rock music)

00:14.539 --> 00:15.670
- [Major Mark O'Driscoll]
The Marine Corp Shooting Team

00:15.670 --> 00:16.620
wants good Marines,

00:16.620 --> 00:17.650
first and foremost.

00:17.650 --> 00:18.520
We need Marines that are

00:18.520 --> 00:20.170
professional and competent,

00:20.170 --> 00:21.570
that can represent our Marine Corps

00:21.570 --> 00:25.213
at national, international,
and interservice competitions.

00:27.457 --> 00:28.640
- [Sergeant Jerrod Adams]
The best part about being on

00:28.640 --> 00:30.530
the Marine Corp Pistol Team is

00:30.530 --> 00:32.350
just seeing improvement of shooters.

00:32.350 --> 00:34.319
We go out, and we instruct
for these two week periods.

00:34.319 --> 00:35.844
You'll see that brand new shooter

00:35.844 --> 00:37.935
that has never even shot a pistol.

00:37.935 --> 00:41.130
Then, in the two-week
period of us instructing,

00:41.130 --> 00:43.940
you'll see that shooter run
around comfortably with a gun

00:43.940 --> 00:46.397
and be able to maintain accurate shots

00:46.397 --> 00:48.780
and speed at the same time.

00:48.780 --> 00:50.240
(rock music)

00:50.240 --> 00:51.839
- [Major] We supervise
four regional marksmanship

00:51.839 --> 00:53.860
competitions a year.

00:53.860 --> 00:56.550
These four marksmanship
competitions is an opportunity

00:56.550 --> 00:57.830
for command to send Marines

00:57.830 --> 01:00.780
for advanced marksmanship
training, annual rifle

01:00.780 --> 01:02.430
and annual pistol qualifications.

01:03.970 --> 01:04.803
- [Sergeant] Permanent personnel

01:04.803 --> 01:05.910
on the Marine Corps shooting team...

01:05.910 --> 01:08.040
You have to have good physical fitness,

01:08.040 --> 01:10.038
look good in uniform,

01:10.038 --> 01:11.336
have good fit,

01:11.336 --> 01:12.430
and pros and cons.

01:12.430 --> 01:15.237
Then, distinguish yourself in marksmanship

01:15.237 --> 01:17.680
and show that you are a good shooter.

01:17.680 --> 01:19.480
- [Major] Obviously, we
need Marines that can shoot.

01:19.480 --> 01:21.100
We need Marines that can
distinguish themselves,

01:21.100 --> 01:24.080
both on duty at Marine Corps
marksmanship competitions,

01:24.080 --> 01:24.913
and off duty,

01:24.913 --> 01:25.930
in their own time,

01:25.930 --> 01:28.860
to show that they are lethal
behind the weapon system,

01:28.860 --> 01:30.693
be that a rifle, pistol, or shotgun.

01:31.654 --> 01:33.859
(firing of guns)

01:33.859 --> 01:36.103
(shouting)
