Mark Koernke discussed firearms training, weapon selection, and ammunition considerations on Weapons Wednesday, April 29, 2009. The episode covered progressive firearms instruction methods, emphasizing proper technique over volume of fire, adapting weapon systems to individual physical capabilities and age, and the importance of training aids like airsoft and snap caps. Koernke and co-host Don addressed ammunition pricing anomalies, particularly the unexplained high cost of .380 Auto rounds, and discussed cost-effective alternatives like 7.62x54R Russian and 5.45x39 calibers. The show included caller input on caliber nomenclature and practical training progression from simulators to live fire.
