Not sure what you're expecting me to say to that.
Im a damn good shot with my 1911 at 127 yards and can hit steal around 80% of the time(STEAL DOESNT SHOOT BACK). From 9mm, 40S&W, 45 ACP, 357 mag, 44 mag and 41 mag that I have shot at my steel target at 127 yards I have found quiet a few rounds that didnt impact the target that were way low still intact well before the target. So still had plenty of velocity yet no real damage to the bullet itself.
Sooo.... you shot low. Good for you. Again, not sure what I'm supposed to be saying to this.
Mcantar, based on your experience you stated, you will refute this possibly(sorry late to reading this thread), if you engaged from the shop across the street the POS in Nevada at 65 yards roughly you will basically hurt the shooter significantly. IF, big if IMHO, you hit him in a decent enough location to cause him to drop his weapon etc etc. Logic and even veteran folks who have faced real combat in military,LEO or civilian life (combat in this instance is actual events of being fired upon and returning fire in any capacity and you lived) with some of the best of training will not hit a vital enough area to drastically turn the tides of the fight. The gunman will most likely, again IMHO, turn towards the threat and engage you and like others have said...a car is a POS for cover from rounds, especially 7.62x39.
You, like a lot of others, missed what I said. Cars offer concealment, engine blocks offer cover, not the other way around. No, its not very good, but if you're in the middle of a parking lot and its the only thing between you and the shooter its better than standing out in the open.
I havnt read the entire account of that day and how the fucker moved, but my guess is he wasnt a terrible shot at the worst. Im gonna call BS about the 100m, yes One Hundred meters, hitting MOH or whatever you want to call it. How fast is a 45 round going at 100m? Its only getting slower every foot it travels from the barrel right??? If its a 9mm round, then well good luck with that. I have first hand experience with CQB with a POS M9 and the effects it DOESNT perform oon targets. As per you, its still 100m, right? Or will this change magically to 100ft.
Its been 100 yards since I first mentioned it. I also agreed to the challenge/competition/bet/whatever that Jim posted. It seems you're just going on about that for the sake of going on about it.
So are you volunteering to be the target for the challenge then? I mean you seem pretty confident that A) I can't hit you at that range and B) Even if I did it wouldn't do much.... what do you have to lose?
(Mods, please don't take that as me making a threat, by no means is that my intention)
In all honestly, Im not buying your response to my question. You sound like all the damn roughnecks I encounter who want to fight a guy who hasnt roughnecked(I have worked as hard in other jobs for longer periods of time then most out here already), making more $$ then them and still working in the oilfield in what the roughnecks consider a prestigious position.
Don't recall the question.
Not trying to be a dick, but I kinda tell it like it is. At least my perspective.
