Rasha loses tons of donkeys every day

Isn’t a 2+ mile shot really just a matter of pure luck? If for no reason other than it is impossible to measure and correct for wind. If I attempt a sufficient number of 2 mile shots, I am eventually going to make a hit. That, or I have to slowly walk my shots in on target like the world’s slowest machinegun. That is what we’re talking about here, right? Zero chance he made the shot on the first try, more like the tenth or twentieth try, at best. At 2 miles, even something that can normally be dismissed as trivial, like the gun beginning to move before the bullet has exited the barrel, becomes the difference between a hit and a miss if not accounted for. A hundredth of a degree of rifle can’t constitutes a miss. A single fps at the muzzle moves your point of impact by ~7” at 4000yds.

Ultra long range shooting isn’t real. It’s just a roll of the dice. Point of impact becomes far too sensitive to initial conditions, more than one has control over.

>>63902567
>Pidors not even in top5
Embarrassing.

>>63902893
is gesture of goodwill

>>63902720
That is a good question. Picrel. I’m just estimating 750gr@3500fps, it sounds right.

>>63902872
I just remember the story of the team that got a 2,200 meter shot.
It was in the sandbox and they only landed a hit because the sand people liked to ignore incoming fire to prove how brave they were. They took like 15 shots at a guy standing still to prove he was brave.

As for physics the bullet is going subsonic at that range which means a transonic period that is unstable and accuracy goes to shit.

I'm a moderate but don't believe everything you hear.

>>63902872
Doesn’t matter how basic the physics of trajectory are. It’s not possible for one to have a sufficient degree of control over the initial conditions on the gunshot (velocity, BC, sighting, rifle cant, etc) to make a hit at 2 miles without massively factoring in luck . You have to know your velocity within 1-2fps of accuracy, you must know your BC to like 3 significant digits, etc. At this range, things like altitude, atmospheric pressure, and temperature absolutley must be considered. And that’s before we get to the unsolvable problem of correcting for wind, which can not be measured in the first place, much less corrected for. Basically the only way around wind is infinite BC. One small gust of wind results in a miss at 2 miles.

So yes, that other anon is right to cast doubt on a 3800m hit, or Atleast doubt that it is the result of the shooter’s exceptional skill as opposed to blind luck (if it even happened).

>>63901770
Propaganda doesn't mean it's not true.

>>63903012
I'm the anon he was responding to and I think landing a round within 20m of a target at that range is high skill, actually hitting the target takes both luck and skill.

>>63903012
I’ll add that this is similar to a double pendulum. if I give you the initial conditions with some - but not infinite - accuracy, you can predict the position of the system 1 second into the future, within some acceptable (and predefined) level of accuracy. But you can not predict with the same accuracy its position 5 or 10 seconds from now, so you can not reverse engineer the whole thing to find the initial position which will yield x final position at t=5 seconds. It’s beyond our horizon of prediction-making because we are not all-knowing physics engines.

About the only prediction you can make about a 2 mile shot is that the bullet will impact somewhere within a gigantic circle/ellipse, several dozen yards in diameter (best case), more or less centered around your target.

>>63903046
Yes, skill is required to shrink the impact zone radius, but within that, it’s just target area divided by impact zone area = hit probability. And that’s where luck comes in.

>>63902893
Because sniping like this is only useful when your arty/mech/air support is more limited than your adversary's, that's why the only armed groups in the world that actively uses anti-materiel caliber sniper rifles are poorfags like Ukies, Houtis and Indians.

The other use case for such rifle is counter-insurgency in wide open areas. See Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, South Africa.

It's an insurgent's weapon. Russians aren't rich, but enough so as to snipe with 30mm or bigger when 7,62 doesn't cut it.

>>63902963
Horizon's Lord uses off-the-shelf .50 BMG projectiles mounted on custom 14,5x114 cases. You could track the projo used easily.
>hitting transonic at ~2600 meters
That's pretty good on the rifle system. But that also proves a 3,8 km shot is 99% luck.

>>63903161
>based in 14.5x114mm case

My intuition is sound, I didn’t even know the parent case but figured 20kft*lbs must be right based on case volume. 14.5mm makes 22-24k ft*lbs, necking it down to .510 reduces efficiency a bit, so 3500fps/20kft*lbs is most likely correct.

As for the bullet, I just assumed 750gr with a form factor of 0.9.

>>63902893
using sniper rifles is for weak sissy gay ass westerners and khokhols, real mean advance with infantry and use artillery for bombings

>>63903010
>only landed a hit because the sand people liked to ignore incoming fire to prove how brave they were
That's just media cope. At those distances they don't even know that someone is shooting at them until it's too late.

>>63903360
>real men use artillery and bombings

You’re a pussy. Your use of ranged weapons betrays your cowardice in trying to keep distance between yourself and your adversary. What’s the matter, incel, scared you’ll get killed? lol have sex incel, you have a small dick, who hurt you, I bet you get no pussy, etc. Real men use swords. Even realer men use fists.

>>63903424
Oh, russians "sword fight" each other, alright

>>63903161
If unknowable wind/velocity variance accounts for a 5moa grouping, and the target, distant guy's vitals, is .25moa, then the area of the grouping is 410 times bigger than the area of the target. So you've got a 1 in 410 chance of success if your aim is perfect, and the same chance if your aim has 4.5 moa of error.
So that would be 99.76% luck, and 0% impressive aiming, since we can take a 4moa shooting from a rest for granted. The 0.24% can be split between the impressive ballistics and the observation/knowledge that led to knowing the right place to try to aim.

RT is somehow a less biased source of information than the kyiv independent or ukrinform or whatever

>>63907428
Also the ukranny lies daily when they publish updated casualty counts. They are massively overinflated and everyone knows that they are massively overinflated but they persist anyway.

incorrect, and completely in conflict with literally any estimation of casualties that is not from a zigger source
russia is currently losing the attritional war because of their extreme loss rate in both men and materiel. at this rate ukraine is going to outlast russia.

truly embarrassing useful idiots and tools, sure makes for great board entertainment though.

>>63907720
>the side that has more artillery
*had, and is now inching towards local inferiority in areas because ukraine needs less artillery to be as effective as russia, ukrainians respond faster, have longer range, and are more accurate, also they've been slowly erasing russia's larger numbers with their better counter-battery, which is why russia is going to lose the artillery battle
>drones
ukraine simply has more and better drones, and more well trained drone crews, wrong again
>missiles
russia is doing innacurate missiles chimpouts with reducing frequency because their manufacturing can't keep up, their C3 is also slow so all the mobile targets they try to hit tend to be gone before they get a shot, which is why they tend to focus on civilian targets, not very effective in a war against a military.
>troops
completely demotivated meat mobiks that get 1 week of training where they don't even get to shoot a gun as much as a western soldier would get in 1 day of training, sent into trenches to die instantly and get replaced with more meat, which is fueling russia's quickening pop crisis as these are the ones in the age range that can have children.
>resources
can't do shit with resources if you can't turn them into manufacturing, and they're having trouble selling many of them above a price they'd break even with due to sanctions, hence the rapidly increasing debt.
>is actually taking heavier losses
yep, real life is not like your toddler-brained version with the world, you don't smash two soldier toys into eachother and one side wins because they had more soldier toys, turns out being corrupt, inefficient and callous about your soldier's lives means you lose wars, who would've thunk?

they don't, actually, they control part of a few of those, saying they occupy 7 is a russian talking point that literal russian shills repeat to themselves like a mantra to self-soothe (picture a toddler sucking on his thumb to reduce stress, that's what you're doing)
also, they've been "controlling" them for 3 years and have gotten no further, even losing more territory after the initial push and then failing to claw it back even many years late, while losing their economy, speeding up their demographic collapse and completely destroying russia's future for the next 70 years, possibly forever if they balkanize.

projection, a major part of russia's army, wagner, literally fucking choked, died, and then turned around and tried to coup the russian govt because ziggers were dying so badly.
you never actually encircled the ukrainians, they dug in and when the situation became untenable they retreated, that's the key difference between ukrops and zigger subhumans, and the main reason why ukrainians just don't suffer anywhere near the horrendous casualties your favourite shithole does, they don't hold positions until they die, they live to fight another day, deathcultism is not a real strategy.

What armor rating would have stopped the shot from that distance? That is a bigass rifle shooting a bigass bullet, but 2.4 miles is pretty fucking far. I'd feel confident NIJ IV would stop it at that range... confident enough to bet money on it, not confident enough to test it myself LOL. (This is assuming it's not an AP round)
Normally I could just go to Wikipedia and do some math, but that ammo confuses the shit out of me desu

>>63912597
Penetration requires speed, it would be going so slow any steel plate would spread the force enough to save you.
Soft armor likely wouldn't be pen'd but you might still die from blunt force.

>>63902963
>500 feet of drop at 3800 yards
You can't even acquire the target in the scope to account for that much drop. This must have taken dozens of shots to finally range in and then land. Are we sure the Ukies measured the range correctly and also didn't slow down the video to exaggerate the travel time? Slavs are generally not honest people.

>>63912755

>>63914411
Do you see an angled scope mount on that rifle? Can you point to a military sniper rifle that used angled scope mounts to achieve extreme long-range shots? You know damn well what I meant.

>>63914433
Maybe take a look at the clearly angled sight rail.

Since you're all 4.5 moa sized fags, here is the actual webm.

>>63914411
He’s talking about field of view. How do you know how much you’re holding over if your target is outside your scope’s field of view?

>>63914446
I doubt the living room couch sniper rifle has a correctly mounted scope. I don't angle the scopes on my toilet guns, either.

>>63912597
According to my (probably very accurate) BC and velocity estimate (>>63902963), shooter’s calculator says the bullet will have ~1500ft*lbs at 4000 yards. But that’s over a .510 frontal area. So sectional energy is not that high - same as a 290 ft*lb .224, so like a 5.7x28. But the bullet does have a very fine shape and a shitload of section momentum.

I would not take my chances. At 4000yds, it’s still a 50AE deagle firing a superheavy spitzer.

>>63903463
>So that would be 99.76% luck, and 0% impressive aiming,
He shot at a group of soldiers being talked to by an officer. The target was anyone who was in the path of the bullet at the time it landed, and someone happened to be there.

Not really sure if one shot one kill when you fire into a small gaggle of conscripts counts as a snipe, but I'll say YES in this case because Russians mad, lmao

>>63914521

Then what you’re referring to as being important for penetration is not velocity, but (sectional) energy

>>63914748
Yeah no, it’s not impressive is there’s an ocean of men standing around 2 miles away. If You could shoot blindfolded and are still guaranteed to hit someone, that’s not very impressive. The target size here would be like, idk, 100x100 feet or something.

>>63902600
There is a ton of shit outside your control, but you have to be skilled to get a perfect shot off so there is a chance you will hit the target at all, once the bullet is travelling then the luck takes over.
Like others said, it's a target rich environment and the conditions only need to match up once.

It was two or three dudes getting chewed out.

Did you really think he shot at a platoon of mobiks doing daily penis inspection so close to the front? I mean, that has happened, but Ukies never spoiled such a treat with a single shot - they tasked HIMARS strikes for such events in the past.

>>63916257
> It's not unusual to have days with zero wind across whole countries though

Eh, true, I guess. But 2 things:
>1) At 2 miles, even a 1 or 2 mph wind makes a difference. This probabaly wouldn’t even be felt to a guy standing outside.
>2) you can’t know that there’s no wind, lol. What if it’s windy downrange, but calm at your position? It’s still luck because it’s all unknowable. You’ll have to fire a couple shots to asses the net effect wind has on your trajectory, and control for it that way.

White Feather's long range stuff was that of legend.

>>63916763
considering that the cartridge is necked down to .50 caliber, its not a destructive device. i doubt reloading dies are available, however

>>63916791
hell, I'd be happy to have .stl files to make a 1:6 scale one for my big G.I. Joes.

>>63916763
The bore diameter is <.500 so you’ll be fine. I think you can actually own it in California too lol. Bolt action, single shot, and although 50 BMG is banned in California (illegal on the chamber-spec level), this one’s cartridge is NOT 50BMG (it’s twice as powerful, kek)

>>63916374
There is a lot of luck involved, but to make the shot possible at all the firer has to be a competent marksman. They gave to get everything in their control right so the luck/variables are the only thing that can go wrong

>>63916720
>Would the Horizon's Lord be able to kill someone in pic related from that distance in that caliber?
Yes if it hits outside the plate. No if it doesn't. Solid brass isn't AP so bigger caliber doesn't mean more penetration compared to actual hardened steel core rounds, let alone tungsten stuff.

>>63916720
>>63917224
It might have enough velocity at relatively close range (say, 200m) but at 2 miles it's definitely not going fast enough. See >>63902566 it's a .50 BMG bullet with a lot more power behind it.

>>63917234
>might have enough velocity [to pen armor] at 200yds

Yeah it also has 20,000ft*lbs of energy at that range so it will just break all your ribs and kill you.

>>63902600
"Yes, but..."
At that range, it takes tremendous skill (physical and mental) just to get the barrel pointed in exactly the right spot in order to give an unguided bullet a *chance* at hitting the target. Thus, the shooter's abilities are still praised, despite the element of chance involved.

>>63903573
It's probably Quebec.

>>63902793
>mobiks are also people

>>63916242
It was both. He was the guy who made .50 BMG into a sniper round, using a slightly-modified Ma Deuce. It was incredibly primitive compared to what we have today, but he was scoring hits on moving targets (with a little luck) at over a mile away, which was unheard-of at the time.

>>63918192
>he made 50BMG into a sniper round

It always was an excellent long range cartridge, just wasn’t used that way. It’s a super high sectional energy cartridge intended to penetrate really hard shit. This selects for the same superlatives as long range performance, except for shot-to-shot consistency, but that’s more about the way ammo is manufactured. It’s Wild though that he made a mile+ hit from a machinegun of all things. Isn’t the m2’s accuracy like 3moa?

Seriously. I couldn’t tell from the video. Could be that the guys just got down when a bullet impacted the ground beneath them. At 4000yds, whatever the hell that 14.5/50BMG is called still has 1500ft*lbs of energy. That’s a 50Ae deagle at the muzzle

>>63924300
it is, but being able to spin that roulette at all requires near perfect accuracy, so i'd say it's still pretty impressive.

Not really. That Bong sniper who once had the longest range kill hit three targets in the space of 5 seconds, including a HMG which he shot and damaged beyond use and he did it with .338. Bar two or three, the longest range sniper kills are all .50BMG or larger. Then there was that Aussie or Canadian group that did a 'group kill' where three people shot the same target to confirm a kill from three different angles and since all three targets hit, nobody knew who inflicted the kill, so that is more impressive that Kovalskiy, since it's three different marksmen hitting the same man-sized target from the same distance at the same time.
