Thought you said m4 singlemalt got nothing bad on m14s their solid platforms. You could have a ar 50 and still have someone sneak up with a .22 and waste you though. That said wouldn't mind owning a ar50 lol

Not a videogame lol your still dead if i shoot you first. But im out with recent national events people will get excited over these kinds of things. M1s are inferior btw their shortened barrels reduce fps too much which reduces fragmentation and terminal performance

Belief: Now that we know that accuracy is pretty much the same, short barreled rifles lose too much velocity be effective at long ranges.

Fact: This is a double-edged sword. The 13.5-inch length could propel a 168 grain Hornady TAP round at an average velocity of 2390 fps, which is hardly slow. That is only a decrease of around 315 fps from the 26 inch length (25.2 fps/in), and vindicates many researchers who pioneered velocity discussions. There was no noticeable critical difference in accuracy at any range. There is a downside to longer ranges and reduced velocities, that being increased susceptibility to wind as range increases. Increased drift is not the end of the world, though, and if measured properly, can be overcome with ease.

What is more is the differences in velocity across loads and barrel lengths. The issue with barrel length and velocity was also interesting in that, across all bullet weights, the extreme variation is only 31% (110 VMAX @3202 and 208 AMAX @2215). In the most accurate load, the 168gr HPBT handload, the velocity difference between longest and shortest was only slightly more than 15%. The round with the least variation between barrel lengths was the 175gr Federal GoldMedal Match with slightly less than 8% variation.
