When I was in the Marines we trained to hit torso-sized targets at 500 yards with open-sight M-16A2s. If you couldn't hit the target as a matter of routine, you would be in BIG trouble. A WWII bolt-action has comparable - maybe even slightly better - accuracy. With that said, the gun cres with the gun shield - well, they had more protection than the average rifleman...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cessna Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Absolutely. Believe it or not, I agree with you. I'm just pointing out that hitting a target at 500 yards is not exactly an "olympian" feat... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
