HUH? 180gr bullet @ 100yds=2233fps
zeroed @100yds. Drop is 1.4 in. @ 150 yds and 2.1 inches @ 200yds.
Seems like a pretty potent weapon to me!

Could get interesting,don’t know of anyone here that would hand over their arms,
THere’s always exceptions
The harder it is to find the proper ammo, the less useful the firearm in a warzone.
That depends on how much ammo you have.
If you are vehicle mounted and have 1000 rounds in the vehicle, that’s probably enough.
And after all, if it comes to it, all you need is enough rounds to eliminate a lone enemy or small squad and take *their* stuff, as the VC proved.

Someone that thinks,,rare indeed
BTTT
Ha.
Tell ya what, if there’s a war like in the movie “red dawn”, I’ll give you my old mauser with bayonet, and you can go capture some machineguns with it. I’ll cover you from a distance with my bushmaster.
Yup...
If the enemy is better supplied and equipped than you are, take their stuff and use THEM as your supply train.
The Texas Constitution
Article 1 - BILL OF RIGHTS
Section 23 - RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS
Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.
If the Mauser is properly zeroed, in good working order and I’m 600 meters away, no problem. I’m no Carlos Hathcock, but I should be good for that.
My old man made it through two tours in VN and did some amazing things with a bolt rifle there. I’m not as good as he is, but I’ll do. And he was easily able to perform the feat you have just described.

Machine guns and silencers - killing old laws. As a holdover from the Prohibition era, Montana had laws making it illegal to possess full auto firearms using pistol-caliber ammo, or silencers, both in conflict with current federal law. MSSA succeeded with a bill (SB427, 1999) to wipe these archaic laws off the books.
