thats one of the firearms rabbit holes, stopping power/range
you start with a simple and perfectly fine ar pattern in 556, and someone youve never met on a hindu basketweaving forum tells you that 556 is the 9mm of rifle rounds and muslim terrorists have basically built up an immunity to it, and its off to the races
you wake up from a fevered haze and you've bought 10k rounds of 300 blackout
(300blk is super fun to shoot out of an ar pattern tho)
recoil profile is radically different from 556 and 762
Ever shot 5.56 or 7.62x39 through bushes or branches?
sure, anything solid is going to modify a fast projectile's path
its the same with even larger rounds, i hunt with a 30.06
please dont misunderstand my lack of preference on the m14, its not the round, the the fiddly nature of the receiver action
i do believe that folks get super caught up in caliber dick-waiving, but to each his own there
From my experience in the Finnish army, we got to play around with the 556 and it seemed like we had to put two or three rounds more to get our metal targets to fall down, compared to the 762 which usually made the metal targets fall on the first shot (if you hit of course). This was even more noticable when the targets were behind bushes or any sort of object.
oh, 7.62 is a demonstrably heavier round for sure
I don't have formal military training, so take my shit with a grain of salt in regards to anything human conflict related
im just a good old boy from alabama who owns a bunch of them there guns
I believe this is one of the main reason why Finland is sticking to the ''outdated'' 7.62x39. We hardly shot at ranges further than 150m and even then there were usually brushes and shit in the way of our targets.
haha, we didn't shoot much live ammo though, so I don't have much experience in that way.
7.62 is a fine round
i have an akm, its fun to shoot, and cheaper to shoot than my ARs
I guess I've shot less than 300 live rounds
yeah thats a range trip for me, but then again, i live in the US, and in one of the biggest gun culture bits of it
I thought I'd share a webstore that sells quality stuff for a good price and fair shipping, even all the way to the USA.
I own multiple of their products, I've never been dissapointed with any of their products and their product descriptions are pretty funny some times.

Anyone know what to do when the oil drain bolt wont budge

Wrench wont take it off, ive tried hitting the wrench with a hammer, using a carjack to try prop it to move iy just lifts the car
Yea a car
you have penetrating lubricant and heat available ..did you warm the car before trying to drain the oil
I warmed it
Didnt lube it or anything
yeah i never had one stick im worried its crossthreaded
if so then fuggg
I beat the fuck out of it and it wont turn
😡
i beleive you lol
you dont have pb blaster or liquid wrench i guess
Not on me
I could get some
yeah it still might not work but its a cheap try you just gotta make a trip
if you are going to an auto parts store you might want to see if they have a new drain plug so you dont put the same one back in
Yea, ill try use the lube next time and hammer it off again
