pneumatic sniper with muzzleloader bullets

[ZachFaught]

my friend made a pneumatic sniper and took a muzzleloader bullet and shot an apple from about 130 yards away. I was freaking out when he did it. lol

130 <i>yards</i>? Considering an apple is about 3", that's like 2.5 MOA.
I doubt he could even aim that well with a scope, much less the common lack of sights on our launchers (or crude iron sights).
Furthermore; the projectile was probably tumbling, the barrel isn't that stiff, the tollerances are going to be crappy, and a back-of-envelope calculation indicates that he'd have to aim more than 4' high.

130 feet is much more likely - only 5" high, and 7.5 MOA... verging on beliavabel.

Lead Bath how old are you?

[TalonXxX]

seriously?? i totally thought you were way older than that... not that there's anything wrong with being 15! that's cool that so many people around my age (19) are into spudding... i thought it was mostly older guys (25+) anyways, sorry for this useless post... just a little blown away.

I thought we were talking about ammo, not how old we are.

GUess I've lost my sense of humor. And I'm 15 1/12.

[guitarfreak]

notice how all of us are interested in potentioally lethal weapons,and are all under 20....i wonder if there is a link there?

[Shandora]

[Shrimphead]

Hey, I'm 15 too. I thought there were a lot of old guys here.

[taterjim]

I could hit an apple if it was 20 or 30 ft. out but not consistantly .of course that is without sights of any kind. By the way I'm only 51.

[Herr Pyro]

HAHAHAHA i'm sixteen

Can you drive at 15 where you guys live?
