High Exposure

KC135 Stratotanker aircraft and some F16s.

Prove it.

That’s like $2.47 for a whole chicken! That’s not bad at all.

They hit the ground at the exact same time as long as the barrel is perfectly parallel to the ground and the ground is perfectly level for the entire distance the projectile travels. That distance traveled depends on the velocity. The velocity depends on projectile weight, amount of charge loaded, plus a myriad other things such as atmospherics (fog, wind, temp, humidity, etc...), the projectile’s coefficient of friction, etc.... We are also talking about pistol rounds with a new shooter here, so after about 25 yards (50-100 of you’re really good, maybe a 1000 if your Jerry Miculek) so there is no reason to go off into the weeds.

I like 147 for it’s terminal ballistics. I agree, 124 feels a little softer to shoot, but to approach the terminal ballistics of 147 gr, you have to have to bump 124 up to +p pressures. 124+p is not softer shooting than 147. There is no free lunch. I carry Federal 147 HST in my duty guns so I shoot 147 FMJ when I practice, compete, or train. I need to be the best with that ammo so there is no sense learning the capabilities of any other ammo type and my ability to shoot it. On the practical side of things - That’s at least twice as much ammo ( 2x ammo = 2x $$) and twice as much time (probably more that 2x because you have to reprogram you professor as you switch between them) to become equally proficient. On the Performance side of things - It will also increase processing power (which is already I short supply when shooting) which stretches out my Decision phase in the OODA loop as when I press the trigger i now have to remember which ammo I have in the gun. Too many mind. No mind!

The weight effects velocity, range, felt recoil, trajectory and terminal energy at distance. Projectiles with different weights will have different POA/POI At different ranges. They will also have deferent recoil impulses which will effect recoil control which translates to differences in split times of shooting quickly. In the real world, different ammo behaves uniquely. You need to know how the specific ammo You chose performs in your guns in your hands and what it’s capabilities are and are not.

Which has a direct effect on the projectile wait.

They sell a “braced” version and a “stock” version. Make sure you are seeing what you think you are seeing.

I posted the Flux Brace and Mag Holder the other day and you disagreed with that description....

The weight of the projectile. You forgot 147.

Peel. That’s “Blazing Saddles” a comedy masterpiece. That’s culture, not potty humor. If we are prepping for the end times, we need to make sure that fine art and culture survive as well.

If the plan is correct, they are going to fly right over both of our houses on Tuesday.

Is that not the correct way to wear underpants?

Yeah Zeke, me too. Feels like it’s been a couple days since I had a chance to shoot!

@Ray Ray CLP sucks. Anything designed to do everything routinely excels at nothing. Chris, Slip makes a good cleaner to go with their lube - 725 Cleaner. They also have another product called Carbon Cutter for more stubborn jobs.

PB - I love these threads. Thank you for sharing your collection with us to enjoy.

I have: Two .40 BCGs (Quarter Circle 10) .40 AR barrel (QC10 14.5" barrel) with a .40 Brake. I used it in steel comps at Old Bridge Action Spring and Buffer to run the .40 w/LRBHO reliably. It is all on a VLTOR MUR upper receiver with ALG Handguard. Let me know if you want any or all of it.

I have a couple of TD Stubby Grips. What color are you looking for and what do you have to trade? PM me.

I Second this. I haven’t used him myself, but I have sent quite a few friends his way and all have had stellar things to say. Steve! Steve! Steve! Steve!

Agreed.

Let me ask this a different way - So, if a rifle came with a stock not pinned, like it does in most states, would you pay money to pin it? If the rifle came with a 30 round mag, like they do in most states, would you destroy it and buy a 10 round mag? If the rifle came with a 16” barrel and an unpinned flash hider, like they do in most states, would you pay money to replace it with a brake/Comp and pay more to have it pinned? If rifle came with a bayo lug, like they do in most states, would you pay more money to have it removed? If you lived in Florida and bought a rifle, would you pay the FFL to make it N.J. compliant? In N.J. right now you can legally buy a SBF - an AR type rifle with a flash hider, an adjustable brace, and a 12” barrel chambered in .233/5.56. It’s shorter than any AR rifle that requires a 16” barrel and a non-adjustable or pinned stock. Have these made it into schools? Would you take one if it was given to you?

Can’t see them in this pic, but we were able to see them from The Sandy Hook Bayshore down the street. We watched them fly East over the Verrazano and out over Long Island where they turned North and we lost them. About 15 minutes later they flew South, down the East River, over the bay, gained altitude and flew to the Raritan River where we lost them.

@Greenday Let me ask you a something... Do you have a AR? If so, what position is the stock fixed to? Let me ask you something else... If the NJ Assault Weapon restrictions went away today, and you were buying an AR tomorrow: • Would you still pin your stock in one position? • Would you choose a comp or brake over a hider? • Would you pin your muzzle device? • Would you buy yourself only 10 round magazines or permanently alter all of your mags to hold only 10 rounds? • Would you shave off your bayonet lug? • If you moved to PA or Florida, or any free state, and bought yourself a handgun, would you only by guns that hold 10 rounds or less?

What the fuck is “too deadly”? In 2018, rifles were used in 374 killings. In the same year the following were responsible for: • Knives/Blades - 1604 deaths • Blunt Objects (hammer, bat, etc...) - 472 deaths • Hands/Fists/Feet - 656 deaths I don’t know about you, but I have never needed a permit for a hammer, a bat, any knife, or to take a Jiu Jitsu class. If they are responsible for so many more deaths, shouldn’t there be some restrictions on them, you know, for safety? Oh, maybe because guns can kill more people quickly at one time. Well the worst mass murder in US History ever was carried out with $1.50 in gasoline and a match. So, where’s the permits to fill’er up? Or the restrictions on how much gasoline you can buy in 30 days or at one time? The only accessory that makes a weapon “too deadly” is the gray matter found between your ears. People are evil. People kill. People are deadly and dangerous. An adjustable stock, a suppressor, a flash hider or removable magazine have no bearing whatsoever on “Deadliness”. You had the right word in your opinion that I quoted above - irresponsible. You just chose to ignore responsibility and focus on inanimate objects instead. How do you not see that THAT personal choice of irresponsibility is the deciding factor in the equation? What the fuck does this have to do with safety. I am assuming you are referring to an adjustable stock. I can buy 6 identical rifles and pin my stock at each of 6 positions and that’s totally OK. But if I have one rifle with an adjustable stock that stops at each of the exact same same 6 positions, that should be illegal? That makes zero sense. In 40-something other states you can have AR pistols with folding stocks. Do you see the streets running red with blood there? Because I sure don’t....
