No substitute for stealth and tactics.
Air friction vs gravity.
“Once they exit the barrel, bullets immediately start slowing down as gravity begins to exert an influence.”
True statement but misleading. They slow due to air resistance.
Democrats will ban it because someone could lose their eyesight from the laser
True...Gravity removes velocity from the x component and adds it to the Y component, but most reduction in velocity IS from the air resistance I would think.
Hi.
So it’s the third week in November. Ive been in a tree stand for three hours (1/2 hr before sunrise).
The weather was typical for Virginia that time of year in Cumberland county. Cold, foggy and wet.
For this outing I’m using a Remington 870 with double ought. I also brought some slugs along and my Ruger GP 100. (Bear country).
Nothing so far, so I’m thinking I’ll sneak a little coffee out of my Thermos, when I hear russling in the brush. Not 25 yrds away...
Just as I readied to take a shot, I farted.
5.56mm
Good we will need as many of them as we can get ..if and when we get serious about taking our government back.
Thanks for sharing your hunting story, it really stunk. 🤣🤣🤣
Takes all the fun out of it but if it works why not!?
I wonder how many of those the Taliban now have?
LOL!
5.56mm
“Once they exit the barrel, bullets immediately start slowing down as gravity begins to exert an influence.”
Umm, gravity is NOT what slows the bullet down. It is aerodynamic drag that slows it down. At two hundred yards, the bullet will drop about 2 inches from the barrel elevation.
This would work. If captured the Taliban would have to figure out how it works as the sniper would be dead. Issue fewer bullets. They won’t need them.

I was going to ask why he chose buck shot over slugs. I will have to wait till he recovers from your comment.
If fired level. Scoped rifles aim bullets “above” the bore line. A rifle zeroed at 200 wards and fired level will have the bullet rising out to 100 yards or so, and dropping onto target.
Above line of sight. rather. It uoh know these things.
