if you guys recall....i take a American Military Expirience class...instructed by 2 Seargant first class guys...well the one told me a AK-47..typical common AK-47 fires a 308 and is the same thing as a 7.62x39 when i told him that is the round they fire......

well today.....were learning about the m16....today the same guy tells us it fires a 5.56..aka 223.....i agree...muzzle velocity is around 3100fps...ok i agree it should be around there......THEN he asks who hunts..couple of us raise our hands....he asks how fast does a 308,270,30-06or our typical deer riflesfire....i raised my hand...i know my 30-06 fires around 2700-2900fps....of course he KNEW i had a better answer then he did..and he answered his own question.....sit down for this guys....his answer was about 1200fps!!!! i knew better then to try and argue.....but im sitting here looking at remingtons ballistic chart for a 3006 and a 223..and im thinking about printing it and putting it in his mailbox with the numbers highlighted....

he also tried to tell us that rifleing gives accuracy..ok i agree...and he said when the "muskets" were used and were rifled it would taken atleast 5 minutes of POUNDING a bullet down the bore because of the rifleing...except for mini's because they were smaller and the bottoms expand when fired..agree with that.......but i dont think its ever taken my 5 minutes or more to load my flintlock....WITH rifling! lol...

just thought id let you guys know the latest news.....all of our 30-06s, 270s, and 308s only do around 1200fps....and the m-16 is a far superior weapon when it comes to penetration and "stopping power".......

shouldnt he know a little something about a 308??? hes been in the military 20 some years....it kills me to bite my tounge when i KNOW im right......but i know its the right thing to do......its his job to teach me.....i shouldnt waste my breath trying with him...and just make our relationship rocky....but man some of the BS he piles out sometimes....
