One Darn Good Shot



In 1983, Research Armament Industries (RAI) in the USA began development of a new, long-range sniper cartridge capable of firing a 16.2 gram (250 gr), .338-inch diameter bullet at 914 m/s (3000 ft/s) that could penetrate 5 layers of military body armor at 1000 m (1094 yd) and still make the kill. More information on the .338 can be found here.

Obama is going to do away with those guns come January.

Bob, I need your professional opinion on this one. If I was going to do a fat guy drive by with a can of motor oil, what weight oil would you suggest.

I thought about 40 weight, because the can has better impact, but a good 20 weight probably has higher velocity and a better dispersion rate.

What do you think?

"In need of advice", since fat guys sweat more because of higher body temperature, you're going to have to keep viscosity in mind which may further affect the dispersion rate.

Your thoughts?

Depends on the number of FTFs from the glock. But it doesn't matter anyway since when you decided to "shot" the guy, he had already driven away. Exercise caution when holstering your glock however.
