If someone claims they can hit a quarter at 1000m with a common, military grade m16, is that realistically possible, or a person full of BS?
With enough rounds, it's a statistical inevitability.
With one shot (or 3, or 5, or 10)? Don't think so. I'd be pure luck.
Yup. Even then they might take several shots--maybe even a lot of shots to connect. Benchrest shooters are shooting for groups, not for a specific spot on the target. It's one thing to send a group of rounds downrange and have them all land close to each other. It's another thing to get one to land exactly where you want on the target.There are few rifles and shooters in the world capable of hitting a quarter at 1000 yards.
Sorry, that's WRONG, you are dealing with area, so the difference is EXPONENTIAL, as the area of the quarter is circle of .955", within the 1.5 MOA (at 1000 METERS) So you are doing the difference of AREAS not diameters.The quarter is .084 MOA. Eliminating ALL variables, it could take up to 12 shots just to hit it by chance. The reality is that it would be nearly impossible. Holding 1 MOA past 300 or 400 yards is much more difficult than holding it at 100 or 200.

Hitting a quarter at 1000 meters with an M16 or AR15 or anything that looks even a little bit like one would be pure luck. Bet him $100 for every shot he hits as long as he pays you $1 for every shot he takes and misses.
