What are some examples of fudd / noguns lore you've heard? Most recently for me:
>You should sight your guns to shoot high so that you can aim just above the gut but impact the chest / heart

What are some examples of fudd / noguns lore you've heard? Most recently for me:
>You should sight your guns to shoot high so that you can aim just above the gut but impact the chest / heart
Why not just aim the point of impact where you want to hit? lol
I think the intent is that you have "more" surface to aim at.
the morons cant aim with iron sights. morons need to learn to keep front peg focused.
>sight your guns to shoot high so that you can aim just above the gut but impact the chest / heart
uh, yes no shit sherlock, so when your shot is a lot longer than you expected/thought you can up your chances on a kill, where did you learn to hunt, Ray's Bar and Grill on Big Buck Hunter Pro?
same to you cawadoody c**thair
The sight obscures the target.
There's a very wide range of above and to the sides that a distant target can be behind the sights and not at the point of aim.
*below
>the point of aim is above
Neither of you know how to shoot. You keep both eyes open, the sight becomes transparent and the target is no longer obscured.
No one who knows how to shoot keeps both eyes open for every type of shot, so you clearly don't know shit about shooting either.
I'm talking about self defense shooting play shooting. Try to keep up.
Sorry magdumping at 3 yards isn't my training regimen, and sometimes I have to actually use my sights to hit the target.
I practice defensive shooting at 25 yards which is probably overkill for self defense shooting, both eyes open, focused on the target. Zero problems shooting like this. good luck staring at your front sight while the target is trying to kill you. I'm sure it'll work out bud.
Congrats dude, I shoot both eyes open at 25 yard torso silhouettes too. At 100+ yards or against a target presenting only a small part, you're not gonna be doing that anymore and having a center hold sight setup becomes really important. In any situation involving cover or vehicles you're not going to get a whole upper body to shoot at.
I shoot both eyes open out to 170 yds lol
I shoot with my third eye open out to a 171 yards homie.
but I'm not a marksman.
If your front sight focused like you should be the target will be blurry
why use a pistol if you're shooting at something far away enough to have the sight obscure the target
You can shoot irons on a rifle out to several hundred
Sight obscures the target.
You're going to aim center mass when pressured for time. Not on purpose, just as a reaction. If your goal is the hit the heart, hitting a little 'high' of your aim scheme at the expected 'oh shit' reaction distance is sound.
But when a moron tries to repeat that explanation it comes out like this: "You should change your sights so you hit high so you get 'em in the heart when you aim at their stomach"
If you shoot non dominant eye, half closing the dominant helps for speed. There are cases for the center or 6.
I remember when those waystones or guidestones or whatever those weird granite rocks got blown up so many morons were claiming it was done with 50 BMG when 50 would barely do anything against a slab of granite. Still bothers me nobody realizes it was obviously 45 ACP
Underrated
6 o'clock hold is a older trick. it make it easy to track and hit targets as you focus on the front peg. comes from when rifles only had a front peg. the oldest lore I've heard was that you should lubricate with WD40.
thats the russian battle sight setup where u aim for the belt buckle and it will hit center mass out to 500 yards or whatever
The "6 o'clock hold" in the OP image is pretty much the AK manual of arms for sighting in the AK.
No matter if the sight is set at the battle zero or 800m, as long as the conscript aims for the belt buckle, the round should hit the thorax.
The front sight post is the width of a man at 200m iirc.

2 bore!!!
Kinda sounds like my dad, although hes not that fuddy. He has 1 semi auto, an M1 carbine with a scope that he used to hunt deer with. No im not kidding.
He lost all the mags to it for decades ago and never replaced it because he only ever needed one bullet. I at least got him some 30 rounders for that one.
He does like to shoot my handguns though. He is obsessed with "saving springs" just like you said though. Absolutely anal about leaving all mags unloaded, hammers dropped on all his guns and shit. That must be a boomer thing
>hammers dropped on all his guns
Is this not necessary? It's what I've been doing lately when storing them.
Springs are worn from repeated contraction and extension and not from simply sitting on one or the other. Do you jack up your car everytime you park to save the springs in the suspension? No because its stupid.
Fair enough.
I used to keep the hammer wienered on all guns but changed recently. Probably won't care about it either way from now on.
an old thing with getting dirt in you rifle. keep springs is only happens when on tour with no armoury.
My boomer dad carried a 1911 for years. Insisted on carrying it in the absolute most moronic way possible, hammer down on a live round.
>"It's meant to be carried wienered and locked, that's the safest way to carry it."
>"The safety could switch itself off!"
>"If that happens, then it would also have to magically squeeze the grip safety, then magically pull the trigger, in order to fire. The way you carry it, it WILL go off if dropped, and it's harder to wiener it when you draw it in a hurry than to flip off the safety."
>"One of these days you're gonna realize I'm smarter than you!"
>"Oh yeah? You're smarter than the fricking designer of the gun, the manual it came with, and these 8 experts on Youtube saying you're carrying it in the dumbest, most dangerous way possible?"
>*incoherent boomer mumbling*
I got him a S&W Shield and he carries that now. Had to get him a manual safety though, because even though he was afraid his 1911 was going to magically bypass two different safeties and pull the trigger while holstered, he thinks his Shield is perfectly safe, but only so long as it has a manual safety.
Fricking boomers, I swear.
>2 bore 12 guage
Well which is it?
Ironically what he is doing is more likely to wear out the spring faster since he will have to load it more often when he actually shoots it.
>>He refuses to load the tube with more than 5 rounds, to "spare the spring"
Sounds like he appreciate s the gift. Buy him an extra spring or two. Maybe that will get him to load more than 5 rounds.
boomers are incurable
So that makes

Russians can only hit someone by accident.

Hmm, I wonder if there is a reason they stopped going this shit?
Yes. Both started using rifles with diopter rear sights instead of notch and post, and individual shots counted less with the move to assault rifles. It's not because the principle itself sucks.
>7.62x39 was designed to wound
I shit you not
The correct sight picture
This is some peak boomer shit for shooting at paper and has no real world use for self defense shooting. Under no circumstance should you ever be focusing on your front site and allowing the thing trying to kill you be blurry in your vision. You focus on the threat, both eyes open.
absolutely spot on.
Actually, at civilian mugging encounter range, I doubt you're even looking at sights.
Instead of giving over your wallet, you're shoving the muzzle center mass and pulling bang switch until the dude falls down or runs away.
This is why the oft-derided Homeboy Hold works. You jerk the trigger in a verical plane rather than horizontal one.
Laying the gun to the right side has more merit than gangster-style since it keeps the slide away from your body that way, even if they press into you.
after 2.5k rounds found out my walther(first gun) has combat sight picture not center hold.
>>You should sight your guns to shoot high so that you can aim just above the gut but impact the chest / heart
Seeing more of the target can be a good thing.
>focus on your front sight
>don't use the slide release, rack the gun
>don't clear malfunctions with the front slide serrations
>don't drop mags on the ground
>cardio and diet is for homos you just need to be a good shot
>revolvers are not obsolete
>closes with a rant about cellphones
This happens every single time I go to the range and I never start the conversation.
revolvers arent obselete. They are very only relevant in niche niche situations like a hammerless pocketgun and for bear defense
Missed one
>22lr bounces around in the body
>22lr bounces around in the body
Kek, Simon Whistler said this on his crime youtube channel the other day went talking about hitmen using 22lr.
In those situations sure although there's tiny semi autos out there. I'm talking about dipshits who think there's no use for anything but a full size 38 special and a remington deer rifle.
revolvers aren't obsolete, you just simply aren't going to reload them at any meaningful rate, six rounds should be enough for a single target engagement and generally you want to avoid being outnumbered as well as to have multiple firearms and superior cover and concealment when you must be outnumbered.
talking about resighting a scope when switching between m193 and m855:
>loading a heavier round won't change my point of impact because heavy and light objects fall at the same speed
