What's the range on that handheld weapon?? They were talking about a silencer.. With a silencer, you are limited to about 200 yards, even with a nice rig like a .300 Whisper AR-15 conversion. Sure, you could go a bit longer in theory, but the bullet is moving mighty slow to begin with. Lots of oomph, but not much velocity. Not so hot on the penetration side.
Yeah.
I was daydreaming the other day and figured the ideal long range subsonic sniper bullet would be something like a long, huge 50 cal slug....Say about 5000 grains or more....it would resemble a crossbow bolt, only made out of lead.
