1) Indeed, put the scope where it is optically correct. It does nothing for your shooting ability if you have to 'put up with' the ergonomics of your gear.
2) The fact that your eyesight isn't 'normal' doesn't make much (any?) difference in eye relief: Even at 20-200 nearsighted (uncorrected)...
You could put a load cell or accelerometer in the gun, and thus measure the force applied to the shoulder...
Measuring the free recoil is largely pointless. Shotguns have a very high shot:powder weight ratio, and such their recoil physics can be approximated easily and accurately.
Alot of people consider seem to agree that being able to quickly mount/unmount a suppressor is useful - hence the existence of the various quick attachment methods that exist.
...a bayonet lug, though, might not work so well. I am not familiar with the geometry of the mounts on the rifle in...
I, too, have tried shooting weak sided with both eyes open.
I'll agree: shooting weak side does feel a bit weird at first. I got used to the weird "feel" of it pretty quickly.
Switching the rifle over to iron sights seems to help me - I think it works by eliminating the confusing visual...
"'Move' or 'Vaporize'"
I'm not sure it's consequential - ultimately, even if the bow shock breaks up the raindrop, the mass is still there, and has to be moved.
I don't know enough about the situation to be able to tell if moving that mass is:
1) Even possible through purely shockwave effects...
Railguns, unless you put some sort of recoil reduction system (rear facing rockets, for instance) most certainly do recoil.
They have to - they make stuff go out the front.
Not very harshly, given how low their muzzle momentum/launcher mass ratio is, but then that's also true of a .223 rifle...
The photos you showed of bullets with notably detached bow shocks were scarcely supersonic - if you look at the rifle bullet, you'll notice that the bow shock is pretty much ON the point of the bullet.
Besides, I wouldn't expect those shocks to move the rain very well.
However, that...
"things we haven't thought of yet"
Yeah, at least for lethal tools, in the short term:
* Lasers will require a great deal of power to do anything substantial, so if they are chemical powered (any possible battery, that is) they will not have much benefit over firearms.
* Railguns have...
Well, there are three challenges that the range offers which would have to be represented on your mini-range.
1) Angular size of the target.
This is easy, just shrink the target porportionally. 36" target @ 600 yards = 6" target at 100 yards.
2) Drop of the bullet.
Unfortunately, angular drop...
The reflector element is lighter, right?
Shouldn't this improve their drop resistance?
(Unless they aren't designed to be drop resistant, but instead simply light weight. But that's a design issue, not a inherent feature.)
You generally get less light transmission off of a mirror than you do...
Eh, in general terms, I can only see a ambush as a justifiable defensive tactic if:
1) You cannot run
2) You cannot hide
3) You are able to set up an ambush
Eh, an example?
<strike>Well, let's say your in a mall when a whole bunch of zombies pop up and start closing in on your position...
Why can't they just swap the map out for one loaded with less-than-lethal rounds? Or make beanbag rounds for the m203?
Sounds like a simpler solution - it obviously has the issue that they may fire the wrong rounds, but that problem exists with the proposed system too.
AFAI(am concerned)...
...TRIANGULAR BARRELS?!
COOL!
I, eh, tried to model the scenario in solidworks. (FEA)
I have no clue *** I'm doing, but I tried to do something reasonable, and this is what I got:
*******
I got surprising results (?):
2) The barrels deflected .26 (triangular) and .31" (round)
3) The...
There is much to be said for familiarity with a certain piece of hardware, especially for instinctive actions like pointing and trigger manipulation.
The question, then, is if one can gain a similar level of mastery over TWO rifles by practicing twice as much? (total practice hours - time per...
Oh, I don't try to calculate how the bullet will deform when it hits stuff. I (let other people) determine that empirically.
Bullets do change shape when they hit stuff, but only penetrate a couple inches while doing so, so you cat get pretty damn close by just telling the sheet the Cd and...
So, I've been messing around with modeling the terminal ballistics of bullets in flesh.
I've got a spreadsheet which accurately predicts penetration distance in ballistics gel for all sorts of bullet designs.
...things are looking good for the the shotgun-slug and 45-70 people.
But I...
By "Maximum Accuracy Possible from Your Rifle", they probably don't mean increasing the precision of the rifle.
They probably mean "stops flinching".
*****
"machine+person < simpler_machine+person"
eh, and "simpler_machine+person < rock+person"?
It doesn't naturally follow that making...
Because the rifle was in static equilibrium before firing, the initial force of the shooter is zero. The K (spring) constant of the shooter's anatomy will be variable and will not prevent all movement of the gun system, and will apply a force on the rifle system that is not inline with the bore...
