1) Indeed, put the scope where it is optically correct. It does nothing for your shooting ability if you have to 'put up with' the ergonomics of your gear.
2) The fact that your eyesight isn't 'normal' doesn't make much (any?) difference in eye relief: Even at 20-200 nearsighted (uncorrected)...
You could put a load cell or accelerometer in the gun, and thus measure the force applied to the shoulder...
Measuring the free recoil is largely pointless. Shotguns have a very high shot:powder weight ratio, and such their recoil physics can be approximated easily and accurately.
Alot of people consider seem to agree that being able to quickly mount/unmount a suppressor is useful - hence the existence of the various quick attachment methods that exist.
...a bayonet lug, though, might not work so well. I am not familiar with the geometry of the mounts on the rifle in...
I, too, have tried shooting weak sided with both eyes open.
I'll agree: shooting weak side does feel a bit weird at first. I got used to the weird "feel" of it pretty quickly.
Switching the rifle over to iron sights seems to help me - I think it works by eliminating the confusing visual...
...zone" that was formerly the raindrop without communicating any (as much) force to the bullet... but again, I know very little about shocks.

I'm not doubting your conclusion that rain doesn't affect bullet flight to any appreciable degree.

Anyways, lets look at a more-or-less...
Railguns, unless you put some sort of recoil reduction system (rear facing rockets, for instance) most certainly do recoil.
They have to - they make stuff go out the front.
Not very harshly, given how low their muzzle momentum/launcher mass ratio is, but then that's also true of a .223 rifle...
...a .3" diameter bullet
At 1000 yards
So, the flight path of the bullet has a volume of 41,000 cm^3
And a cubic centimeter of air contains 2.85*10^-5 raindrops at any given point in time
So the average bullet encounters 1.2 raindrops on it's way to the target... over 1000 yards... in an...

Yeah, at least for lethal tools, in the short term:
* Lasers will require a great deal of power to do anything substantial, so if they are chemical powered (any possible battery, that is) they will not have much benefit over firearms.
* Railguns have...
...though. That's a personal call, I suppose.
3) Wind drift of bullet.
Again, angular deflection is roughly proportional to Distance/Velocity.
**********
So, essentially, I see two levels of realism that your miniature range can offer:
1) Reduced size targets only. That is, shoot 1/6th sized...
The reflector element is lighter, right?
Shouldn't this improve their drop resistance?
(Unless they aren't designed to be drop resistant, but instead simply light weight. But that's a design issue, not a inherent feature.)
You generally get less light transmission off of a mirror than you do...
Eh, in general terms, I can only see a ambush as a justifiable defensive tactic if:
1) You cannot run
2) You cannot hide
3) You are able to set up an ambush
Eh, an example?
<strike>Well, let's say your in a mall when a whole bunch of zombies pop up and start closing in on your position...
Why can't they just swap the map out for one loaded with less-than-lethal rounds? Or make beanbag rounds for the m203?
Sounds like a simpler solution - it obviously has the issue that they may fire the wrong rounds, but that problem exists with the proposed system too.
AFAI(am concerned)...
...eh, tried to model the scenario in solidworks. (FEA)
I have no clue *** I'm doing, but I tried to do something reasonable, and this is what I got:
*******
I got surprising results (?):
2) The barrels deflected .26 (triangular) and .31" (round)
3) The deflection of the triangular barrel...
There is much to be said for familiarity with a certain piece of hardware, especially for instinctive actions like pointing and trigger manipulation.
The question, then, is if one can gain a similar level of mastery over TWO rifles by practicing twice as much? (total practice hours - time per...
...the bullet is assumed to smack into the block already expanded, but it's close enough. Real critters are variable density and hardness anyways.
******
Formula is like this:
Velocity = Velocity-((.5*Cd*diameter^2*Velocity^2 + constant)/(time_step*mass))
Pretty much standard drag...
...an expanded softpoint at 2800 fps?
Or if you got data for any other shape/velocity, that would be just as useful.
(right now, I'm using "3")
**********
Here is what I'm finding right now:
1) Penetration depth is roughly equal to (Velocity*Mass)/(Cd*Diameter^2)
This means two...
...Accuracy Possible from Your Rifle", they probably don't mean increasing the precision of the rifle.
They probably mean "stops flinching".

"machine+person < simpler_machine+person"
eh, and "simpler_machine+person < rock+person"?
It doesn't naturally follow that making something more...
...I'm sure, to ensuring the consistency of the vertical bending harmonics of the barrel, as those are caused by torques on the bedded action.

Now, it is possible - through poor design - that the stock's K is not constant. Perhaps the rails sometimes "stick", and sometimes don't. The...
