"An AR 15 is a striker fired gun." "The Glock has a direct impingement operating system."
he is a college grad.....
As a welder/fabricator, I have the pleasure of dealing with engineers from time to time. I believe they school the common sense right out of themselves. No offense to any engineers on here, just been my experience.
that you can fit 5 .308 holes within the width of a quarter.
I was at a local service rifle match and a guy shooting next to me asked what grain I was shooting out of my M1A, I told him 168. He told me that those were only designed to be shot at the 300 yard line and that at 600 they were inaccurate and tumbled.
Stopped at Cabela’s on the off chance they had full size Glock 9mm magazines (Glock 17/34)
I looked and didn't see any in the “magazine” section.
I asked the first roving store clerk (in the gun section stocking gun stuff); "Do you have any Glock 17 Magazines?"
With a puzzled look he said "yes" down by the checkouts we have a full rack of magazines and I'm sure there are some on Glocks"
...I couldn't speak.
Another clerk overheard our conversation and said "You mean clips!"
And I said; "Damn, I you have a clip that fits a Glock I have to see it!"
So I was on a flight home and this marine range master was beside me. We got talking and he was trying to tell me that after 800 yards a 50 bmg starts to tumble end over end because it starts to "spin back on itself" and that's why it was so accurate.
Needless to say I'm glad the flight landed ten minutes later.

"The .22LR is the most deadly round because it doesn't have enough power to go through you. I heard of a guy that got shot in the head and the bullet was found in his foot!"
True story. lol!
I have to say in defense of the Army that probably gets lost in translation from class (sitting in the heat/cold on a small bleacher under a shade roof) to describing it to friends and relatives back home. The Army taught it to me, I already knew it, that the point of aim wasThe one about how the bullet arcs up when it leaves the barrel is still taught by the army. When my son was back from basic a few years ago, I had to reprogram him. He was so confused after learning DS ballistics LOL.
"Suppressors cause the bullet to lose as much as 200fps!"
"Bullets rise when they come out of the barrel, because the velocity creates so much lift. That's why you have to hold over inside 100yds."
"You don't need those fancy scopes, I shot a deer at 400yds last fall with my 270."
On and on it goes. If it were legal to hit stupid people in the head with a bat, there would be a pile of corpses 10 feet high next to our tables at gun shows.
Yeah...but who teaches it? I know the Army didn't teach that.This bullets ride thing is actually a widely taught misconception, crazy...

I finely got to meet my boyhood comic hero "Sergeant Rock". What a stud!
And therin is where it seems to get lost in translation. The bullet is "rising" in comparison to line of sight. As we all know the bullet is dropping as soon as it leaves the barrel.Sort of. We were told that when aiming at certain targets on the qual range, we would have to hold low (Probably the 25 or 50m?) because the "bullet is still rising." To be honest, in basic we were only really taught enough to be accidentally dangerous to the enemy or to our own weapons.
On a box of 22 lr: dangerous to 1.5 miles
this one is actually true.
a .22 can actually travel well over a mile.......its not likely to be deadly at that range, but certainly dangerous.
While taking my pistol permit class (after carrying with a permit in another state for 9years) the INSTRUCTOR told the class that a 115 FMJ 9mm had 115 grains of gun powder in it. I did a double take
“Army Ranger”....... lolHad an Army Ranger tell me he used a 308 Lapua Magnum as his sniper rife. The same guy explained that the 5.56 is the most dangerous round on the face of the planet because he could shoot an insurgent in the upper right chest and the bullet would travel down the body and end up in his leg. The damage was so great, no one could live after being shot with one.
So, the question begs, is this guy really a Ranger? Big difference in a M193 fired from a 1-12" twist M16A1 or especially the 1-14" twisted original M16, and M855 fired from the 1-7" twisted M16A2 and later variants.Had an Army Ranger tell me he used a 308 Lapua Magnum as his sniper rife.
