As an Army Veteran, and having served in the Infantry,

I was trained on too many weapons to list. Now, this was long ago. However, I do recall that I was never given instruction to aim, whatever weapon I was employing, while simultaneously aiming my Brownie Camera, Polaroid, Super 8, Nikon, or Minolta.

I must have slept through that part.
