"heavy sniper rifles"?

I thought I had seen another thread on media/libtard backlash on the "American Sniper" movie but I couldn't find it (moderators feel free to relocate my post). Anyways, interesting short article with liberal quotes to piss you off if you want to read it. The stupid that pours from some of these idiots mouths is almost unbearable....."heavy sniper rifle" was a laughable one, but the idiot claiming that "private citizens being more accurate then 3/10 is just scary" was just too much. The writer makes an excellent point at the end though....

OAF has by and far the best article I've read about the movie, if you want something to help calm you down after reading that.

I'm about a 30% shooter so I'm safe from criticism.

70% miss rate sounds like they want collateral damage.

Before reading that, I had no idea what an astounding marksman I was.

I'm headed off today to find out if I'm outstanding enough to hit 4/10! I don't know if I've read so much stupidity in a while.

It certainly is a bit of an ego boost... I didn't know that I was such a sniping expert!

Is it too much to ask for a clarification as to what, exactly, is a "light sniper rifle"?


I think Hoser, Tim K, and others shoot "light sniper rifles" down at the OTC... ;)

It fires bullets "three times the size of a normal gun"!!!

What is that, like a Glock (not a heavy 1911 nor a light LCP...). But firing a bullet that is 3 times larger than the size of a Glock? Now that's impressive!!

Well, it is a:















Attachment 55679

Is that a ghost gun?

Look, it's a shoulder thing that goes up!

I want to point out that the liberal in that article that wants a gun made that misses 3 out of 10 times is very disturbing. One would have to misunderstand guns to a point of believing that guns display anthropomorphic properties to even suggest something so stupid.

My 35+ pound AMAC bolt action single shot .50 BMG is considered (by me) to be a "Heavy" one.[Beer]

Reminds me of Bill OReilly deploring "Heavy weapons" when discussing semi-auto rifles. Someone needs to give that boy a tour of the loadout for a heavy weapons platoon...

Hmmm...does this make a Mosin Nagant a "heavy sniper rifle" since it weighs about 20 lbs?

Yes, to the DemoCRAPS it is probably considered to be a "heavy sniper rifle" if it weighs any more than a Daisy BB gun.

Not to mention, it has sights calibrated to 14 miles...

Take a look at that "rifle"...it has two fixed mounts, so basically, a target must stop in the exact line of sight to be hit. A formidable weapon indeed. BTW, what is the baseline "calibre" upon which the "three times the size" was based?

Well, they say "23mm" so I gotta go with 7.62x51, as that's pretty close...

doesn't that nagent have a 30 round magazine clip in 23mm caliber?
