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
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.
Takes all the fun out of it but if it works why not!?
I wonder how many of those the Taliban now have?
“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.
What is an “accurized, high power rifle”?
“Accurized”??
I think there’s a better way. Have a special compact mount for the gun which uses servos for fine aiming, and another servo for the trigger. This mount could be put on a solid base or carried by hand with the gun inside it. It will fire multiple rounds in quick succession so obviously the gun must be capable.
The aiming system is displaying a magnified digitized image of the target sighting, and the human operator designates the desired impact point with a cursor which puts a red pip on the aiming spot and then the servo system automatically makes a best-guess aim, at which point the operator presses Fire.
The aiming system optically tracks the outgoing round and corrects the next shot as needed, and automatically fires that shot, in some cases before the first round even gets to the target. The second shot is tracked, aim is corrected, and a third shot is automatically fired. Basically walking the rounds into the target.
Three shots may not be enough, or one too many. I’d have to build it to find out.
The aiming servos concept could be expanded into a stabilized weapon platform for a rifle of any kind just about. Make the servo system capable enough, and you don’t have to be stationary while the servos aim and fire – you can be running across terrain with your weapon pointed in the general direction while the servos put rounds on the selected target.
And one more thing, it doesn’t have to be YOU running across terrain while your stabilized weapon picks the enemy apart, it can be a robot running 40 miles an hour while carrying multiple stabilized rifles.
The Carl Gustav recoilless rifle has laser guided munitions effective beyond 2,500 yards. You don’t even have to hit your enemy directly; you can take out his vehicle or bunker with it.
