500 yds is 5 football fields. That’s not exactly a close encounter. Iranian patrol boats could be put on the bottom of the straits in about 2 minutes if the commander got a wild hare. :-)

"..500 yds is 5 football fields.."Out on the open water like that 500 yards doesn't look very far at all.
On a side note, I've always wondered why football fields look so big on TV. One hundred yards is pretty much a standard sighting in/load testing distance for most rifles. And it's just a short walk to the targets. d:^)

What’s the effective range of a .50 Cal Ma Duece?
