I too feel intelligent

Sitting around for a really, really fucking long time looking through a scope and waiting for something to happen.

Sound cover and use of false targets in Enemy at the Gates.
Several advices from Louis Llosa's Sniper are both obvious and useful.
Speaking of Shooter, this movie has lots of things to be criticized for.

Okay I knew I was making a stupid thread you don't have to insult me because of it

-Give it a bolt lock like a hush puppy, so it has to be unlocked and manually cycled after every shot
-Free floated bull barrel, with the hand guard pinned to the receiver just in front of the magwell
-Chamber it in .45 WinMag
-Replace sights with optics mount
Not really much else to be done.

Safety system is stupid, the slide release also decocks the gun, the trigger is garbage. Everything else copies Sigs.

Almost forgot pic related.

I bet a shooting range near you has an option to rent some guns. Try there

Yeah not gonna happen. When the nukes hit ill be able to use any i find then, but i want to study up on it while the internets still up.

>>34837930
if it's a semi auto rifle it has a charging handle a magwell a fire selector, and a mag release. if you can use one you can use them all.

>>34837788
Looks like a cut down M1 magazine either welded or epoxied normal 10 round magazine, fiddle around with a used promag, they're only like 10 bucks

This?

I may end up using this mag, but it just doesn't look like the actual mag that holds .30 carbine.

>>34837772
Also, why do US submarines have waist torpedo tubes rather than bow?

>>34837772
Probably because it's one of the few attack subs that have VLS tubes.

>>34837819
But early flight Los Angeles class did not have VLS and only had four. The Permit and Thresher class also only had four but those are older. But then the Skipjack before had six? It seems strange.

Also the Yasen class has VLS and 8 tubes, several older Soviet subs have similar setups. And the new Type 093 Chinese subs have 6 tubes and VLS.

>>34837646
Sounds like you made a good choice

I've heard that in order of what affects accuracy most, first of all is the shooter's fitness/experience. Then the trigger (with Timney, Jewel or Shillen being great options), stock bedding, barrel, cartridge, and finally... optics. Is this true?

>>34837675
i've been told by a lot of shooters that the gun is more accurate than you are. as long as he gets a good optic and zeroes it properly that thing should fire great.

Truly prepping for the Second Civil War the American way

>>34837637
I don't know about the M240 but FN makes a semi M249 and it costs about 7k burger bucks last I checked.

Just get a heavy barreled AR-10 with a couple of beta mags

>Yet sometimes, it'll take 2 shots center mass to drop a target.
that's just a retarded "feature" to encourage you to use other guns, it's not based on anything in real life. and if you think bullet drop in the sniper elite series isn't comically exaggerated, you're retarded.

>how exactly are velocity and stopping damage linked?
they're not, really. faster bullets tend to penetrate things better, smaller diameter bullets tend to penetrate hard things better (which is why AP rounds are hard and thin), heavier bullets tend to impact more kinetic energy, denser bullets tend to give less and larger diameter bullets cause more "damage" because they have a higher chance of hitting arteries and other important things.

"stopping power" is mostly a meme. both rifle and pistol rounds will kill someone if placed on vital areas, and the difference between rifle and pistol rounds when not hitting vital areas is negligible to considerable, depending on where they hit. a 7.62 is probably going to do more damage to one's arm muscle than a 9mm, but if it's not hitting bone it probably won't make a practical difference. penetration is not an issue as long as you can meet the FBI tests.

>Bullet drop is exaggerated
I know that. I was simply saying the bullet drop from one to the other is night and day. I know it's a game mechanic. It was what made me think about this question though is all

And thanks for the info. I figured it came down to hitting something vital, regardless of caliber.

>>34837367
heavy bullets take longer to slow down but don't go as fast. smaller bullets go really fast but also slow down quicker. stopping power is sometimes reduced by overpenetration which is why soft point bullets exist so they expand on impact and transfer more kinetic energy into the target. bigger slow bullets will hit harder than tiny fast ones but the tiny fast ones have better penetration.

>>34837266
You don't build an AD, you assemble it. Seriously, if you can read, and are competent enough to put together an office chair, you can assemble an AR. I built my first when I was 16 (dad bought me the stripped lower for Christmas)

Right, I mean I get that part. I mean where to start with parts wise. Get a lower kit? Get an upper kit? Just toss it together and hope to the old gods it works? I have no idea how to AR.

Whatever they gave me and maybe some /gq/ purchased with my own money if I was allowed to

>>34836968
the real answer in this situation is whatever the fuck they issued you.

>>34836482

whatever's comfiest and let's you hit your target babe

>>34836482
also you the 1911 to Glock guy?

>>34836494
Comfy could be incorrect for me though, I don't know if I'm holding it too weak and not handling the recoil properly.
