- Distinguished Marksmanship Ribbon
Unreferenced date December 2009 Image EarlyMarkRibs.jpg thumb Evolution of the Distinguished Marksmanship Ribbon The Distinguished Marksmanship Ribbon was a Awards and decorations of the United States military military decoration of the United States Navy which was established in 1942. Originally known as the Distinguished Marksman and Pistol Shot Ribbon , the decoration recognized those who had been presented a Distinguished Marksman Badge through exceptional scoring at a professional military shooting competition. The Distinguished Marksman and Pistol Shot Ribbon was issued for receipt of either a Pistol or Rifle Distinguished Marksman Badge. In 1952, the Secretary of the Navy ordered that the Distinguished Marksman and Pistol Shot Ribbon be divided into two new decorations, one for rifle distinguished marksmanship and the other for distinguished marksmanship with a pistol. The new awards were known respectively as the Distinguished Marksman Ribbon and the Distinguished Pistol Shot Ribbon . The Distinguished Marksman Ribbon and the Distinguished Pistol Shot Ribbon were issued until 1959 when the Navy Department ordered the awards discontinued as of July 13 of that year. In the modern age, all three of the Distinguished Marksmanship Ribbons have been declared obsolete. The Distinguished Marksman for rifle and Distinguished Pistol Shot Badges have always been authorized for wear by those who have earned them. The ribbons were worn if the badge was not worn. Under current uniform regulations, the badges are worn when ribbons or large medals are prescribed. All five armed services have distinguished shooting programs that parallel the Civilian Marksmanship Program CMP . The Marksmanship Medal is considered the successor to these awards.

History The Office of the Director of Civilian Marksmanship DCM was created by the Congress of the United States U.S. Congress as part of the 1903 War Department Appropriations Act. The original purpose was to provide civilians an opportunity to learn and practice marksmanship skills so they would be skilled marksmen if later called on to serve in the U.S. military . Formation was precipitated by adoption of the M1903 Springfield rifle as the national service arm. Civilians experienced with popular contemporary lever action rifles were unable to sustain an equivalent rate of fire from the unfamiliar bolt action M1903 rifle. Over the years the emphasis of the program shifted to focus on youth development through marksmanship. From 1916 until 1996 the CMP was administered by the U.S. Army .

- Principle of Evil Marksmanship
The Principle of Evil Marksmanship states that, during a fight scene, antagonists in a work of fiction will be as incompetent as the plot demands, despite prior characterization or reputation. For example, Marksman marksmen in action film s are often very bad shots and almost never harm the main characters. They are generally only capable of hitting a target if the target is either of Redshirt no value to the plot or if their death will advance said plot. The term first appeared in Film criticism film critic Roger Ebert s 1980 book Little Movie Glossary , ref name Ebert cite book last Ebert first Roger title Ebert s Bigger Little Movie Glossary isbn 0836282892 ref and had been submitted by Jim Murphy of New York. It was defined as quote The bad guys are always lousy shots in the movies. Three villains with Uzi submachine gun Uzi s will go after the hero, spraying thousands of rounds which miss him, after which he picks them off with a handgun . The theme is commonly seen in Western genre cowboy films , action film s, martial arts film s, and comics , and is often a source of mockery by critic s, Satire satirist s, and fandom fans . Ebert often uses the term in his reviews. ref http rogerebert.suntimes.com apps pbcs.dll article?AID 19920821 REVIEWS 208210303 1023 Roger Ebert s review of Rapid Fire ref Stormtrooper Effect Stormtrooper Star Wars Imperial Stormtrooper s in the original Star Wars trilogy possessed overwhelming numbers, professional military education and training, full armour , and military grade firepower.
