its a infantry portable everlasting gobstopper rifle that can accurately engage targets to 500-800 meters no one likes the sound of a freight train flying over their trench
Not really. 500 grains at 1000 fps has a muzzle energy of 1100 ftlbs, you can get a muzzle energy higher than that from a modern .223, let alone at longer ranges.
There's a reason black powder and .58 caliber standard infantry rifles died out.
He's right though. There's a difference between sighted range and effective range, especially when you're throwing a 500 grain projectile at subsonic speeds. That being said, people who talk about rifles, or even muskets having an accurate range of 50 meters or feet are stupid.
800 meters was actually a practical max range for an enfield p-53
in british musketry school they took their enfields out to 900 and 1000 meters on man size targets
even when the sights maxed at 800
not him but actually kys
better yet grab a level 4 plate and have a nice day in the chest with a martini-henry to test your own theory about mass=good, or save a bit of time and money and just read the equation for kinetic energy
bro if u had shot a ar500 plate carrier it would probably be so much spall off that hog when it hit u that it would cut the front of ur face off. and not to mention it would probably crush ur ribs in and puncture a lung and knock u back a few feet through the air
So would a fricking cannon ball, who cares?

No they wouldn't
>but they'll totally dab on your gucci plates (insert more zoomer zoomer Black person language here)
Not how it works.
?t=144
>russians
>body armor
pick one
you said "modern battlefield" not 1917 battlefield
literally anyone even worth fighting in a modern conventional war outside nato is still using ww2/1 tactics
if they arent affiliated with america they arent using armor or the armor they have is chinkshit
bro a .58 cal rifle will absolutely destroy any armor the Russians are using.
Pic rel.
bruh it might not go thru that plate but itll crush in ur sternum
you stupid motherfricker. How do you even remember to not walk into traffic with an IQ that low?

it was all fun and games until i took a minie ball to the knee now help me find my leg
bro if a 500 grain bullet hits u u would prob fly like 5-10 feet through the air thats like a quarter of a lb or soemthing
lul too obvious b8, you gotta tone it down a bit.
>shoot at anything past 50m
>miss
>rifled
>sights to 800 meters
effective range 50 meters
>anon i.........
by that fricking logic a Mosin can hit a target 2km away moron
comparing 2km to 800 meters
>anon i...........

>on man size targets
doubt. the tactic of the day was mass infantry firing volleys at mass infantry.
>by that fricking logic a Mosin can hit a target 2km away moron
want to volunteer as a target?
I'm sure your 1.6L 4 cylinder shitbox can reach 140 mph just because the speedometer has that number
>not knowing what a rifled musket is
Let me guess, anon. You think that because it's muzzle-loaded it's inaccurate?
>none of them go supersonic
>no fancy physics damage
>just punches a hole and gets stuck somewhere in the ribs
>antibiotics exist
>no more deadly infections
frick
just goes to show how accurate these guns could be at range even in the 1850-60's
would make a decent shoot and scoot rifle for partizan work
This is a 1000gr slug. Yes it'll wrekt anything soft, but they're completely ineffectual on hard armor.
homie it just crushed that dudes skull in
you are such a moron it hurts
what u mean hard armor? like a tank? if it crush peoples skulls and chests in then its still effective

PASGT helmets are IIIA, not hard armor.

denied

which bait?
>bait
musket balls are legit scary, even today
they are
