over the last century and a half. Depends on the armor, actually. A good old fashioned .30-40 Govt, (AKA Krag,) been around since early 1890's, will go through and through most police vests. Gotta get to level IV to beat that old bullet. .30-30, the old lever cartridge, from 1895, will do pretty much the same. TONS of deer have fallen to it.

It appears he's hunting for humanoids and other sentient prey. nt Xipe Totec Aug 2023 #1

How sporting! KPN Aug 2023 #3

Not very, if the prey is unprepared. nt Xipe Totec Aug 2023 #4

Or if the prey are baby humanoids, too young to survive on their own. 70sEraVet Aug 2023 #10

Ever heard of the 3 gun competition ? DashOneBravo Aug 2023 #17

Oh, you mean the fantasy game about killing as many people as you can with AndyS Aug 2023 #18

Wouldn't all firearms, hell, ranged weapons competition be about "fantasizing about kills"? sir pball Aug 2023 #26

Of all the thousands of 3-gun "trainee's", yagotme Sep 2023 #36

Could be grounds for a lawsuit: discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2023 #19

It's a semiautomatic rifle TexasDem69 Aug 2023 #20

In case you missed it, the question is "What sport is it designed for?" AndyS Aug 2023 #21

He looks like he's about to fall on his ass TexasDem69 Aug 2023 #22

Man you're good at deflecting. AndyS Aug 2023 #23

I won't argue the design, but it is an excellent weapon for feral hogs. Hangingon Aug 2023 #24

I'm addressing Texasdem69. nt AndyS Aug 2023 #25

3-gun SYFROYH Aug 2023 #27

See my response to Dashone bravo upthread. AndyS Aug 2023 #28

Sure, but most major gun designs were designed for military/LEO purposes SYFROYH Aug 2023 #29

Then why invent a new name just for one specific gun model? nt AndyS Aug 2023 #30

Our thoughtful govenment came up with the distinction.... SYFROYH Aug 2023 #31

Nice deflection but the NSSF coined the "Modern Sporting Rifle" as a marketing ploy to AndyS Aug 2023 #32

The terminology of firearms for "sporting purposes" goes back to the 1968 GCA SYFROYH Aug 2023 #33

You're the second response to the OPs question AndyS Aug 2023 #34

Looks like fun to me The Mouth Sep 2023 #38

A semiautomatic AR-15 is better suited as a military weapon than a fully automatic M-16 Kennah Sep 2023 #39
