your looking at the m4 600 area , im not gonna argue with some shooter about what the military does and does not do , its not like you got the time to measure a shot in a fire fight,so no the military does not keep records (or atleast not accurately) i said CONSISTANTLY at 1,000 yards , and up to 1,500 .... about the m-16 , then i mention the m1 and the 14 for the fact it is the preferred weapon of the rifle team, you can shoot a mile for all i care with a 22 223 7.62 270 306 308 or 50 cal... it doesnt matter to me. . i dont care i got nothing to prove , but at 200 to 1000 with a M-16 id prove my point. after 1,000 i didnt say it was the most accurate , just stating it could AT & T now reach out and touch someone at 1500 yards . might have to have the muzzle high .but hey its Military efficient . not like your adjusting for windage when tagging someone. shooting is shooting. bone on bone , natural resp. pause , BANG , rinse repeat. and its not luck Marine Corps shooters are best in world consistanly for a reason , when it comes to natural shooting. USMC 500 and on target 19.5 x 40 i said 14 you can say its dumb all day ..... quite frankly i dont care. i know when it came to shooting .... REAL shooting . the comp range dont mean shit anyways.was just having a conversation that ofcourse again got negative. your welcome to join the Corps or maybe ask them to come to a Marine Corps Rifle Team Trials range day. last post on issue.
