So, i'm new here - i basically found a gun forum that i felt would settle a debate i got into w/ my platoon sergeant today.
Some statements, some questions...
Question: How much of a difference does adjusting the rear sight all the way left or right (relative to center) make on the target. IE how much does adjusting it full left move the impact point on a 25m zero target.
He claims (and i was pretty strongly disagreeing with) that anyone can pick up any rifle that has been 'properly zeroed' and fire fine w/ it (for the purposes of this discussion, land 5 out of 6 consecutive shots in the 'zero area' on an M4 / M16 25m zero target.
I'm pretty sure I'm in the right here, and all that really needs to be illustrated is the numbers: ideally i would posit that a weapons that's adjusted full left would cause someone who zeroed on a weapon that was adjusted full right to miss the black entirely, and have a way to explain why, and by (approximately) how much.
The reward is 2 days off of my choosing -- he was pretty confident..
thanks in advance for the help,
chuck
