>69th attempt
So it's completely meaningless. If I use plunging fire with an MG and hit a target that far away after a few hundred rounds, does that count?
No, because you used much more than 69 rounds. This feels more like an experiment into what's possible for future record attempts though, as IIRC other records for target shooting are first round hit and then 1 or 2 more subsequent hits just to show that first round wasn't a fluke.
Its a mirror, much like the trench sights in ww1. It allows you to have a higher line of sight, so your barrel doesnt obstruct your optic at this steep of an agnle.
Any guess at to what the thing in front of it is? Surely it isn't for additional elevation on top of the 400+ MOA adjustment range of that scope periscope, the ~300 MOA of that rail, and whatever elevation range that scope has, as using all of that would put it at about a mile worth of bullet drop at that distance. The 700 MOA of the periscope and rail would alone would compensate for .817 miles of bullet drop at that range.
Wait, found it. It's just an offset periscope that doesn't add any additional adjustment.

Charlie and Delta Tarac, Charlie gives extra 860 MOA. Total needed for this shot was 1092 according to the articles, and the rail was 350 MOA

Actual drop is more like 2500 feet since the bullet doesn't climb as high as you are aiming. So they aimed 1.45 miles high, and it probably crested around 2500 feet at its peak.
ELR has been and always will be total bullshit. I respect the attempt but this took 70 rounds to walk onto a massive target. There is no target that would be unalerted (if human, and missing all those shots) or seriously damaged (if a vehicle or static equipment) if you're shooting it from 7km away

A month ago I shot a pencil in half from 40-45 feet with a .22 pistol. Went back the next week to try again and hit two more pencils but only grazed them.

NTA but where do you want him to go back to exactly? You're on /k/, expecting everybody to be a northern douchebag like yourself seems unrealistic given that southerners are the most pro-gun people
How do people even get invested in doing this? I can't think of anything more boring and impractical than sitting at a bench trying over and over to shoot at shit that literally may as well be invisible it's so goddamn far away. You need assistance in even confirming that you hit anything. What is the point?
Clearly you've never done it. Trust me, hitting something at over 500 yards is so satisfying. Long range shooting is the synthesis of shooter skill, mechanical ability, and just sheer luck. Reading about it never sounds nearly as cool as doing it
I understand 500 yards, and I can even understand 1000 yards, but we're talking about super long ranges where the gun is purpose built for this and can't do anything but this. The scope on this motherfricker is literally pointed at its own barrel and it needs parascope bullshit to see over its own muzzle. That's some silly ass frickery.
It's like that with a lot of hobbies. Like cars, for instance. You modify a car to go faster, but you reach a point with roll cages and drag chutes and tube frames and fiberglass shells where it's not really much of a "car" anymore, just a purpose built special thing for one job
I have a hyper-reallistic Fleshlight mounted onto an automated variable speed control that I can adjust with just tensing my anus. there is also a ball cupping mechanism and big hairy butcheeks to rest upon. Basically I improved woman so much I don't even need them anymore. I don't not only not disagree with you, but would like to add to the record that the assumption of this level of high-tuned application specific advancement is not only very relevant to precision firearms/racecar manufacturing, but must be used as a whole on every aspect of humanity.
God that rail is so stupid, I love it. Best I could do is 100 yards, iron sights on a standard silhouette target. Personally I'm looking into getting a precision rifle to try and pull of shit like this after watching a bunch of dudes blast milk jugs and 2 liters in excess of half a mile
I would disagree, go ahead and try that at 3000 yards let alone 7744 and see how many hits you get. This type of envelope pushing is what allows folks in king of the 2 mile to get better every year.
1,000 yds because there is one long-range gun range in my entire state and that is the farthest target. Anywhere I go shooting on private land is about 300 yards max before a hill or trees frick it all up. I know a guy that knows a guy that has land with a big straight clear cut pipeline right of way running across it and I would like to see how far I could go, but 1,000 was already pretty fricking difficult. 4.4 miles is insane.

Buddy, you should be in the waterjet business. You could clear 7 figures annually EASY.
Is that scope offset to the side or how to they see through the barrel?

I wonder how big the target was
Steel.
You know, steel sized?
The standard size of steel.

1092 MOA at that distance is 7,379.66 over the target, so more than a mile of dope on the shot total.
7379.66 feet*
>No, because you used much more than 69 rounds.
Lol frick off, there is no round limit.
I mean I guess, but if you count MGs you may as well count artillery, which have been doing better than that for over a century now.
>give enough monkeys enough typewriters and they too will eventually make a 4.4 mile shot
$500 bucks in ammo!
Now I'm curious if I just lobbed 7mm rem mag if I could hit a giant ass target at that range within 70 attempts

ELR seems fun though.
I can hit the broad side of a barn from 10 miles.
it makes all long distance sniper kills all the more impressive
Only longest kill matters.
Objectively correct.
How big was the target? If it's man sized or smaller that's absolutely insane.
It was 120" wide and 92 inches tall. They painted a 1 MOA (81") circle on it then an 8" circle inside the center, and they hit 3.125" from the center.
what the frick is that optic setup

meh, not really impressive. If it can go that far then all you need to do is fire enough bullets and eventually you're gonna get a hit.
I would disagree, go ahead and try that at 3000 yards let alone 7744 and see how many hits you get. This type of envelope pushing is what allows folks in king of the 2 mile to get better every year.
