[–] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 months ago* (1 child) The rifle is effective at ranges further than the shooter. In every case. That rifle is more than capable of a killing shot from there, and further. He was 130 m or so away. 5.56 is deadly from further. A lot further. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 4 months ago (2 children) Every marine qualifies with 5.56 at 500m permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 1 point 4 months ago I don’t like that this is thrown around like it means anything. You do not need to hit that target to qualify, and you will not be very combat effective at that range anyway. Range quals ≠ combat effectiveness. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 point 4 months ago Qualifying on a range and hitting a target dead on in a real situation is not the same thing. permalink fedilink source parent
