    Metric to caliber conversion

    ...and it depends whether you measure the bullet, the distance between the rifling grooves, or the distance between the rifling lands.

    STI AR 15's?

    A friend of mine has one, it looks like a very nicely made rifle, I haven't shot it but it sure looks the part, has a JP trigger in it.

    automatically chambering the first round?

    My HK USP, both my M&P40 and M&P9, and my 1911 do it, they are all new. I use them in IPSC and find it very convenient.

    Which magnified optic for 3 gun?

    For 3-gun a 1-4,6,8 depending on what you can afford seems to be the thing. The Trijicon TR-24, Meopta K-dot, Burris XTR-14, Vortex PST are all good for medium price. The fancy one's like the Swarovski and stuff are really good if you can afford them. In the cheaper range there are the Millett...

    Gov't wants dealers to report sales of High-Powered rifles

    "High Powered" is any firearm used for illegal purposes. You never see anyone in the news shot with a low powered rifle or an ordinary rifle, no sir, they are always high powered.

    twist rate ?

    The bullet weight is a secondary limitation. The relationship is between twist and bullet length. Basically the bigger the distance between the centre of pressure and the centre of mass of the bullet, the greater the twist rate to stabilise it. It is usually the case that longer bullets are...

    .40 S&W recoil.

    I think snappy is a reasonable description of the recoil of a 40 as opposed to that of a 45.

    Navy tests "Rail Gun" in VA

    Indeed, each year in our department the students build a rail gun and try to hit a target at the end of the lab. Not much to hide.

    Trijicon Accupoint for AR?

    I have a TR24 on my Steyr AUG, I like it very much, but I think it depends on your intended purpose. It is very quick to acquire targets in 1X mode (like a red-dot) and can be pretty accurate 50 - 300m, maybe more if you have good eyes. Much more and you will have to dial if you want accuracy...

    What country would you move to with you firearms?

    You can own an AK or any other Military style firearm in New Zealand, at least a semi-auto variety, or an auto version if the auto is disabled, you do need an endorsement on your license though. You can own but not shoot any auto firearm. You can own a handgun but they can only be shot at...

    AR-15 Optic question

    There are plenty of 1-4 X scopes that fulfill this role too. If your eyesight is not too fussy there are 1.5-6 or 1.5-8 scopes. There will be a whole swag 1-6 and 1-8s available soon too. These type of scopes offer the best of both worlds: close quarter 2 eye stuff and medium distance.

    The evolution of fighting rifles

    Well I think the OPs comment: "If there is a stoppage, cycling the bolt with the off hand by a bolt operating stud or handle is preferable, especially one located where the user does not have to break cheek weld. This clears the action, allows a mag change, and keeps the target in the sight...

    How to debate with anti-gun relative

    There's a lot in this thread, but please don't think that the views of of the original poster's relative are the views of the majority in New Zealand. I live here and most NZ'ers are very much interested in Human rights. We also have quite a few firearms of all kinds in our population, we are a...

    Magnified red dot, 3 gun set up, or elcan?

    By far the majority of 3-gunners use 1-4 sights. To the poster above, I don't know where you get the idea that they are not true 1X. With some of them they are 1X at a bit of a distance, you can't just put your hand in front. Also peoples eyesight and brain are different, lots of people can do...
