[BLOG] Science Gamer
Well, I've decided to create a blogger site (actually, I had one for a long time, but I never posted anything to it). Currently posted there is experimenting with a javascript-based extremely variant hit location app (hopefully it doesn't stop working...).

Re: [BLOG] Science Gamer
"Long-time gamer" should be hyphenated and the sentence runs off the side of my screen, unable to be read.
I couldn't get the calculator to work in Firefox 22.0 or IE 10. It makes a cross hair pointer, but clicking the buttons or in the fields does nothing, as if I didn't click.

Re: [BLOG] Science Gamer
That's a great program.
Is there anywhere to find a typical range of MoA for various guns? Specialized benchrest riles can fine really low MoA, I know, down to like 0.15 MoA. The US military standard for sniper rifles is supposedly 0.6 MoA and similar sources say assault rifles are meant to have an MoA of about 4 or 5. I can't find any information about MoA for handguns, shotguns, or muskets, though. Edit: Found some MoA numbers for older guns: http://67thtigers.blogspot.com/2010/05/ballistics.html Napoleonic Era: Charville Musket: 36 Baker Rifle: 18 American Civil War: P1853 Lee-Enfield: 7.5 M1842 Springfield: 24 M1861 Springfield: 10.5 Last edited by lexington; 08-09-2013 at 11:55 AM. |

Re: [BLOG] Science Gamer
Various gun sites I imagine, but I don't have a good reference offhand. Most military rifles are a couple MoA. It doesn't really matter that much, errors due to uncertainty in range or target velocity are often much larger (try setting range to 100 +- 20m, target move 5 +- 1 m/s. That's a fair approximation for shooting at someone who is moving between buildings).

Typically, you'll see that high-accuracy handguns are in the 2-3" groups at 25 yards (8-12 MoA), while self-defense handguns with short barrels are about 3-5" (12-20 MoA). The M16 pattern heavy barrel rifle is about 1.5 MoA out of the box, from what I understand, with the older thin-barrel ones being in the 4-5MoA range. The best group I could find at large distance was on the order of 0.25 to 0.4 MoA, and that was looking for 500-1000yds distance.

Re: [BLOG] Science Gamer
Unfortunately, Firefox updated from 22.0 to 23.0 between this post and last. However, it works now for me for both FF 23.0 and IE 10.

Re: [BLOG] Science Gamer
And another update, which I was having trouble working out completely; I figured perhaps asking people for ideas would work.
