Misc Firearms Crew LXXV: It's Not the End of the World, But You Can See it From Here

[Farley1324]

I've seen more dead drops with a .223/5.56 than anything else. I guess it's the velocity that does it. But then most people that have used it on humans say it sucks, so I dunno. I think if I was confident in where the round was going I wouldn't care at all to use .223 out to 300 yds easy.

Probably too many have had to use 855 or other bulk ball ammo that sometimes ice picks straight through

Got my first 5.56 deer kill. Never used it on deer before. Surprised at just how effective it was.

Magtech first defense 77 grain OTM ~ 75 yd. Deer kicked, took a few steps looking drunk, then fell over doing the funky chicken a couple yards from where I shot it.

Entry wound, no exit wound visible:



Lungs were pulverized. The round fragmented and everything above the diaphragm was effectively destroyed. Devastating effect on target...would use again.

Meat loss compared to traditional hunting cartridge?

I'm sure most of you will just say I'm a fanboy and whatnot, but:

Spoiler!

- The chick certainly didn't kick his ass. As Farley pointed out, it was very much a draw. And she wasn't just some random woman. Shock Troopers were not just any Storm Troopers. They were elite, and among the best of the best.
- It's been clear since the second episode that Mando has been getting more "feels" for baby "Yoda" (pretty sure it's not Yoda) and that he's been developing more and more of a soft spot for him. Otherwise he would have just left him back for that scientist to do whatever it is they were going to do to him.
- I think him being more "relaxed" or "nice" was more because he wasn't on that planet on a bounty mission. He was there with intentions of just laying low for a while. Maybe his personalty isn't always so blunt/mean all the time? We've never seen an episode where he didn't really have an agenda.

But... she’s a girl! That’s like saying, well yea she’s a girl but she was on seal team 6. It just wouldn’t happen because they aren’t as physically capable as men and that’s just science.

Is Mando DEVGRU level though? I mean, if it was a draw, and she's that level, clearly he is too...I mean he needed help right up front to win what he needed to get the stuff back since he lost it and couldn't get it back himself (doesn't seem overly spoiler-y)

None really unless you eat the ribs.

this. 62 grain steel tip is going to create a very different wound than 77 grain open tip

you think a head shot would have killed it?

Ever think about doing headshots then getting it mounted ?

it may be morbid, but will soon be outweighed by the severe lulz and could be shown on FUNNY TAXIDERMY.com

If you analyze everything you watch that much, you must not be able to watch anything and actually enjoy it.

Absolutely. I had a fox headshot mounted full body but 22 doesnt do much. Even that little round shattered the skull completely. Hydrostatic shock is a bitch.

A lot of guys recommend 60-ish grain noslers for longer range but those are punching holes straight through. I haven't used a round like that in 5.56 on deer...this was intended to test a fragmenting round at relatively short range against a deer (think home defense distances).

When this stuff comes back in stock @ target sports, I'm buying a case. I was amazed by the wound capabilities of it even out of a relatively short barrel.

Got the wife a new rosewood p938 with night sights, extra mag, and 500 rounds of blazer for $520 OTD from a LGS (massachusetts sucks). Gun itself was 419. Did i do good?

Realizing she’s a girl kicking the chit out of an elite warrior dude is analyzing hard? I’m not the one finding out she’s part of some super elite unit (which is ridic in itself) and scouring the internet to justify the PC bullchit of that episode.

[benz5521]

I think I’m going to order a Triarc upper instead of the USGI. What do you think?

13.9” barrel, Triarc rail and gas block, Surefire flash hider. They are doing 10% off for Black Friday. 6 week wait for the 13.9 barrel but whatever.

Question: Is she human? Like, a human from earth, 100% purebred human female?

And, again, is mando supposed to be a DEVGRU level of elite? Or is he more like just one of the however-many Mandalorians?

Also, again, it was a draw. Dead heat. Perfectly matched. And apparently neither was going full 100% kill or be killed based on the nature of the draw.

I think it's time to...let it gooo

if a girl likes you shel copy you and like the things you like.

....It was said multiple times in the episode that she was a Shock Trooper. I apologize that I know more about Star Wars than you do to know that Shock Troopers were an elite division of Storm Troopers. Also, as Farley said, Mando is just another Mandalorian. Sure, they're elite warriors...just like...you know...Shock Troopers were.

has she shot one before?

This man knows

Yes many times, i know what you want to say though. The 238s were same deal, but i think the tradeoff is worth it. The slide stop lever is incredibly tight right out of the box even after disassembly, lube, and 200 rounds. I dont see any aftermarket extended options available so far

i was wondering if she's familiar with it and shoots it well or if it was bought due to the deal catching your eye.
i've never shot a 238, so no opinion of it. i've only shot a 226 and i don't shoot it well in addition to its performance being subpar.

Sry didnt mean it that way. Recoil is manageable and shes familiar with the controls from 1911s ive had. One goofy thing that throws her off is the mag release button has to be depressed to load next mag
