Try to exsplain bullet drop and trajectory let alone wind drift to any of them. There majic rifle takes care of all of that. Had one guy tell me he never has to clean his super zapper because it had a stainless barrel.

Most folks see a firearm as rifle, pistol, shotgun, ect.... I see a canvas.

Had a guy get really indignant with me the other day for insisting that the M-14 was a magazine fed selective fire rifle. He insisted it was a bolt action because he had shot one in the army. Maybe he had M-14 and M40 confused?

If you were in the army in the late 60's trained and carried an M14 you wouldn't confused it with a bolt gun. I was in an combat heavy engineering unit as a photographer, carring 2 cameras, M14, ammo food and water would make your day. Never got to hold a M16 but on occasion toted a pig (M60) OH! how I'd love to have a M14 now even a 60 would be fun as long as I didn't have to hump one again.
I had a guy tell me he was getting 4000 fps out of factory 270 Win ammo. Nope, nope you're not.

Who tries to take my gun
In my younger days I was playing with a 220 swift. I was shooting 45 grain bullets as fast as possible. Some of them were hitting 4250 chronographed but they were very inconsistent and didn't group very well at all. It was a pretty worthless load.
What was the Muzzle Velocity of the Asperly Aimless? I think I heard it was so fast that no one was ever able to chronograph one.

Just last month a had a guy telling me a 7mm Rem Mag was no good close since it took a couple of hundred yards for the bullet to speed up.
BAM!!! Owe!!!
accidentally slapped myself in the forehead too hard again.
Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.

Best real documented velocity I have heard of is 5000 fps. That was the Sabot Anti Tank round out of the M68 105mm main gun on the M60 tank. The projectile is a 37mm Tungstun projectile packed in a Sabot sleeve . The sleeve leaves the "dart" shortly after leaving the barrel and the two halves were lethal to within 100 meters. The Sabot round had a wear factor of 5 on a tube that was rated at a wear factor of about 125 brand new. The projectile would penetrate all known armor then used (to include 13 inches of battleship armor) when I went through TC school in 1973.

Wow 13" of armor that's what all the Arkansas boys gonna want for deer this year.
I'm doing this from memory so here goes...... The Navy has an electric gun that shoots a styrofoam pellet that weighs a few grains at 22,000 fps. At 10 feet it will penetrate several inches of steel with a large nasty hole.... There are a few drawbacks for hunting as the gun is 10's of feet long and bolted to a concrete floor. It requires massive amounts of electricity and some sharp sensors and computers. If I'm wrong...sorry......but that is how I remember the article....
Back in 69 in Germany a main road to post went by the tank range. It was so close to the tanks, that when I was driving by in my little I mean little Fiat the muzzle blast would almost roll it up on 2 wheels. Now I don't think a GI would ever wait till a car or jeep was driving by BUT they did. Kinda fun if you were ready for it but if not it would scare to ump outta of you. And the noise WOW.
Tell me about it. I was on the other side of a tree row when a 155 touched one off at about 0730 on a quite Sunday morning. I had no idea they were there. I was about 40 yards away.
