One Shot, One Kill...With A Twist

[Etype]

That "old dude" is Jerry Miculek,

master of sarcasm and firearms... and I assure you it didn't take him a box of ammo to find elevation for a 1k yard shot, he is a bit of human machine behind the trigger

It may not have taken him a whole box, but it definitely took him more tries than they showed on camera.

A pistol that shoots 2" groups from a rest at 25m (or yards, whatever), is pretty damn accurate. So you're thinking, "that means it's a 4 moa gun, not bad." WRONG!

This is where the inefficiencies of pistol bullets really come through. Their short, fat shape gives them a terrible ballistic coefficient. They lose velocity quickly and with that goes stability.

I'd assume that balloon is about 10" across, making it a 1 MOA target- that's a good shot for a .300 WIN MAG, its a extremely lucky shot with a pistol.

The concept of repeatability is huge in the sniping and long range marksmanship world. For something to be a legitimate technique, it has to be repeatable. If he could do it twice in a row, it'd be a good shot.

As a disclaimer, I've shot with Jerry, and he's awesome.

Yeah, it's called mortars.

We're the only MOS with important math.

Until you need a dopamine or epinephrine drip.

I've met Jerry a few times at different events, watched his demonstration, they're wicked. But sometimes you have to see things to believe them.

It took me a long time to learn my elbow from a hot rock...And I can assure you, sonny, Jerry fucked around a few times before he hit that balloon.

Except those pesky drug calculations of anesthesia drugs.

Since we're talking about math- I haven't need an Army medic to give me anesthesia outside of a hospital setting yet. Therefore, statistically speaking, I have a 0% chance of needing it in the future.

And that's 18B math!
