600 ft, 308 takes 1/4 second to cover
if a guy's running 30 fps, you need 7 ft of lead, for a guy crossing your front. if he's running 20 fps, you need 5 ft of lead. how to tell which it is? if he's charging at a 30 degree angle to you, you need 1/3rd as much lead, but still enough difference to miss him, since you have to be swinging the muzzle a bit and there's no nice bullseye on him. no way to see, as things flow, if he changes speed, or changes angle, barely time to see that he's changed directions, and get swinging the other way, before he's changed directions AGAIN.
at a mere 200 effing meters. in daylight, with no wind or mirage. yet guys claim to be "effective" at much greater distances. Fact is, they are fos. they need ideal conditions, or they miss a lot. A LOT and when it's shtf, you'll be alone, jack. You haven't even got anyone who'll speak up for you in federal court, on an IRS case, much less anyone who's going into battle with you. Nobodys got any balls anymore. Look at all the pusses here who claim I should just give up my gun rights (because THEY would!)
