Not attempting to lecture, just making sure that whoever reads this, understands that just bc the longest kills in combat were made with a specific weapons system or caliber, doesn’t mean that they are the most accurate. Ballistically speaking .50 BMG is inferior to .338 Lapua. However, .338 is used far less in a combat theater, thus reducing the opportunity for these historic shots! I am not taking away from .50 BMG, it’s kind of like saying Honda makes a better car than Lamborghini. There are more 20yo Honda’s on the road than Lambos, which is true. However the caveat is that Honda produces cars at a level that is prob 10 - 20x more than Honda, therefore having more on the road 20 years later is no surprise. But no sane person would argue that a Honda is a more well built mechanical machine than a Lamborghini. I hope that wasn’t confusing! Lol
I really don’t know how to take your responses! I hope you’re not associating ballistic accuracy with opportunity, skill, weather, combat environment, terrain, and other uncontrollable variables! Bc, if that’s the case, I’m wasting my time and energy attempting to explain ballistic accuracy! However, if you are just wondering why, the “longest” confirmed kills in combat were made with .50 BMG and not .338 Lapua, then that is something that I would gladly explain!
They do....? However it’s far less accurate than .338 Lapua!! Ballistically the .338 Lapua is one of, if not the flattest shooting rounds that exist. Also, .50 BMG is an anti-equipment round, .338 is anti personnel. The man sized target at 1.5 miles+ is significantly harder to hit than an enemy vehicle. One of the reasons that .338 is used.
Is it possible that the deeper play here is optics? Like it doesn’t make people scream “dictator”? If they know they have the votes to get it done, isn’t this the best play, to take Trump and Pence out of the equation, then they can only blame the senate? Idk, just spit balling!!
Well... if I was there, multiple people would’ve have gone to the hospital and at least 2 of us to jail. Never leave a fallen comrade!! I fucking swear, I would never ever allow this to happen to one of my brothers, I would at least try to intervene! Regardless of the outcome!! This is fucking bull shit!! Do we know who he is/ how to contact him! I would like to check on him and make sure that he’s ok and has everything he needs!!
You mean Diet Coke right??? Lol
