@BrbrConan@SasquatchH4269@MAC_Arms Yeah you’re right. I was thinking more along the lines of hunting. Not that you’re shooting game at 1k yards but western hunting, you’ll definitely be getting some 400-700 yard shots if you deem it’s ethical. You’re definitely right though a 5.56 will definitely fuck a human up
@BrbrConan@SasquatchH4269@MAC_Arms They probably aren’t that far apart. My point was cartridge selection depending upon use/need isn’t irrelevant . Doesnt do you much good to shoot at something 1,000 yards away when the effective range of the round is 700 yards.
@WilliamTaborDDS@MAC_Arms Ah ok thanks for the explanation. I never imagined somone being knocked over by a bullet, due to my hunting experiences but I always imagined I’d feel like getting hit with a sledge hammer.
@a_relic_keeper@SasquatchH4269@MAC_Arms How does that work when most modern day rifles are shooting nearly 2,000-2500 fps more than a pistol with heavier bullets and more muzzle energy depending on cartridge?
@BrbrConan@SasquatchH4269@MAC_Arms False try shooting a Cape buffalo or elephant with 5.56 vs a 375 h&h. I know you’re talking about humans but caliber and cartridge selection does matter, an elk guide is not going to let you shoot an elk with a 223. A 5.56 will not in anyway out preform a 300 win mag.
@Gun_doge@j424957@SasquatchH4269@MAC_Arms Pistols in general have pretty shitty ballistic compared to rifles, that’s where you really start to see that speed bullet design and caliber really matter. Also you can watch Garand thumb on YouTube he tests all kinds of pistol and rifle rounds on ballistics gel/ dummies.
@j424957@SasquatchH4269@MAC_Arms True but wound cavities and penitration vary due to bullet weight and velocity bullets of the same grain at different velocities can have vastly different wound channels. Bullett construction is extremely important as well
@KurmudgeTV@MAC_Arms Well I 300 win mag produces 4,000 ft lbs of muzzle energy but you don’t feel 4000 ft lbs of recoil you only get about 32 lbs of recoil energy how does that work ?
@Adaresidentevi@ma1ybe lol so doing things you are biologically meant to do makes yall powerful? Last time I checked 3/4 of yall can’t even change your own tire
