Their comments on the AR accuracy are blowing my mind. I hit all 40 targets and got marksman with the M16 and I never touched a gun before when we went to the range to qualify, a few others did also and everyone hit pretty damn accurately up to 300 yards away all on iron sights. And a properly sighted scope helps significantly, especially if you’ve planned your shot in advance. The only way someone thinks a sniper rifle is needed for those ranges surely has to be ignorant of what it’s like to shoot one of these guns.

To be fair, you also had literal professionals teaching you, and armorers prepared the guns.

There are a lot of variables outside of someone freaking out and not knowing how to hold a gun.

Yeah my first time at a range for a beginner's class my wife and I took our gun (A Springfield Armory 9mm, can't remember the specific model) and of course they supplied us with a .22 handgun. Our first round my wife does pretty good with her shots with our 9mm. I'm low on almost all of mine. "Haha psycho_driver looks like your wife's wearing the holster in your family." We trade off for the next round and I'm nailing center and my wife's shooting low. Their gun sights were off pretty bad and that was at something like 50' targets. They swapped that gun out and the rest of the day went pretty good. I ended up with the highest accuracy out of that bunch.

I’m a complete ignoramus at guns, and am bad at FPS games. This thread is really eye opening, I had no idea these things were remotely this accurate
