The human body can naturally swim with enough proficiency to get you across a decent sized body of water. The human body can NOT naturally pick up a rifle and proficiently fire and hit a target at a good distance away.
Are we talking live human bodies or dead floating ones?
Since when can dead bodies swim?

I was merely poking fun at your comparison there. You make it sound like swimming is instinctual while pointing a rifle breathing calmly and gently squeezing the trigger takes a lot of training. In the army, I was hitting targets 400 yards away my first time firing the m16 weapon. So it can't be that hard. Both swimmming and shooting take practice to be proficient.
Actually, that sounds like summer equivalent to the biathlon. Should be an Olympic event, the Swim and Shoot.

Answer me this, did you receive instruction before firing that weapon? I ask that question but I already know the answer. Yes, you did received instruction before firing that weapon.

I just noticed he went through deleting all his posts. Too bad for him I quoted them all so his ignorance is still there for all to see.

Yep, just like I got instruction on how to swim when I was a kid. I really do not know what issue you are trying to argue with me here. Are you saying swimming doesn't require any training or learning? I just thought it was funny how you worded the one sentence about human bodies naturally being able to swim, and thought the the only natural swimming ones were the dead floaty ones.

I was able to swim with no instruction at all. Every human can swim with no instruction at all.
