Thanks, but I've only put in bullet weight as 180. I have no idea what to put for initial velocity or anything else.

I thought that's what it's supposed to calculate for you anyway?


What are you trying to figure out? Find velocity, case capacity, trajectory, other?


Velocity and trajectory, I guess. I'd just like to know what it's capable of for a random-ass bullet size.

velocity could be found with the Powley computer
Short of that, your easiest option would be to average the velocity with a given weight for 8mm-06 (which would be 8x63mm) and 8x57mm. (not that that would be accurate though)

Trajectory would be have to be with the previous link. :)

edit: suppose that doesn't really help, but there isn't really an easy way to do it

Interesting to see how it applies in the civilian world too, I ca total believe that.

I used to keep the first round of my home defense shotgun loaded with less-lethal rubber ball ammo, thinking that if I can incapacitate an intruder without killing him, so much the better. Turns out that's a bad idea in court, because the response is "If you felt safe enough to deploy less-lethal ammunition, you weren't in fear for your life"

Which s a crock of shit but..

Also, for anyone who has never seen the Use of Force/Action-Response Continuum

So cops can't go around shooting at will? huh.

Aww... I missed another police state debate :'(

I skimmed over one of Trans posts though, and here in Florida, pretty much every cop carries a Glock 17. Every. Goddamn. One. I've seen a couple Glock 22s though and one Springfield XD. The guy said Glocks feel like toys to him. Hope this offers some perspective.

I was going to add this to the post but you guys already replied to it :blush:

"It's also important to note that your sight over bore will likely be over the default of 1.5" (the AR-15 is 2.6" and the AK is 2" for reference,) and you can change the zeroing range to figure out a decent battle zero."
I think the M4 is 50m/200m, which puts you 2 inches low at 25m and 2 inches high at 100m.

Eh, not really.

Those others? They're at least 10mm shorter, and a good bit lighter, than yours. There's a reason we went from .30-06 to 7.62: OAL matters. Both in lightness and compactness of weapon, and in carrying capacity of troops.

And of course, obligatory :battlerofl:

Tentacles of the head? Definitely aids. Doctor Ford says so.

Also note that Fordorsia had little to no interaction with other nations until 1912, and their first was with the Ulfrans, and they like big things that go boom for a short distance. Dakka technology was still rather shit, even for back then.
