[QUOTE="Miran_Eitan, post: 104357, member: 4189"] I'm...confused. Are you trying to compare real physics to a fictional arcade style shooter? If so, your knowledge on the way rifles work is pretty horrid. I'm not going to tear apart your posts just because it isn't worth my time, but I'll say this. Just because a bullet is big, doesn't mean it's slow. Generically it's the opposite. A 7.62 hits around 2,500 feet per second on average. A .22 Long Rifle shell fires at around 1,200. The only advantage of a smaller round for the most part is penetration and they don't tend shoot really flat instead of in an arc. If you've ever fired a 45-70, once you aim at targets farther than 200 yards it's like lobbing a baseball at the stupid thing. Just because it goes flat, doesn't mean further. A .22 can only reach out to about two hundred yards max. That's the furthest I've ever made a shot anyway. I hit a deer just south of Farragut near Northern Idaho with a 600-700 yard shot with my 30-06 Savage. The 30-06 is just an amped up 7.62. The P90 is 5.7mm. And a longer barrel is better in real life. The M-4A1 sucks alotta dick in real life, due to the fact that they cut off a good ten inches off an already shitty gun. You loose accuracy and you loose feet per second. There's a fine balance on how many times the bullet has to rotate before it exits the barrel. You chop off the barrel and you fuck with the rifling. That's no good. The only thing Sawed Off shotguns are good for in real life are concealment, scaring people and making alotta noise. If you actually expect to get into a fight, it's a dumb idea to carry one. A full blown shotgun isn't a bad idea at all, but when you cut off the barrel...yeah. not smart. Oh yeah, the deer was sleeping. It took me two shots, to dispel any of the "OMG WANNABESNIPZ!!!". If you know how to shoot, 600 yards shouldn't really be a problem. [/QUOTE]
