Hey guys, i've been wondering, what does this DOT mean before the numbers? for example .338 Lapua magnum, why is the dot there? and what does the numbers show? is it the diameter of the bullet or what? tell me :D

[smallblockfuelie]

@pROTPANDA Yes. That is its diameter in inches.

[thegrandemperor]

Really oh shi- *head explodes* Thx 4 the upload.

[smallblockfuelie]

You bet. Check out some of my other "exploding" video clips.

[buryourdead21]

@pROTPANDA one inch would be 1.00, half an inch would be .50 . a 30.06 is a .30, a 5.56 is around .223. bullet sizes in MM are the ones like the 5.56, or the 7.62, or 7.7jap. so to recap, .30, .50, .338 type numerals would be in fractions of an inch, where as 5.56, 7.62 Etc are in Millimeters.

"This is Your Brain on .338 LAPUA"

Oh man, and the thought that I was finally going to get my hands on one. Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know that .338s can do that to your head.

Oh the horror.

By the way, nice video.

[TheCivilianSoldier]

But he did it, throw in an amatuer and i gaurentee you they would never hit them

[savage495]

@LordDiablo31 it took him 9 shots.

[kosanderi]

@LordDiablo31 56x magnification? Maximum magnification S&B PMII 5-25x56 gives is 25 and I don't think he even had that when he took the shot. At that distance the bullet drops so much that it's likely that he couldn't see the target trough his scope with max magnification even with adjustments as high as possible and even with 30MOA tilt in the scope mount...

@LordDiablo31 I completely forgot about that one. You are correct. While the 338 Lapua magnum was designed for 1000 yard material distruction and 1500 anti-personel Mr. harrison showed the world what one motivated precision shooter can do when it counts.

[LordDiablo31]

@rdsii64 Google it mate, the longest confirmed sniper kill is 2707 yards by CoH Craig Harrison, British Army, using an L115 Arctic Warfare sniper rifle (basically an L96 chambered for .338 magnum ammo) at 56X magnification.

He killed 2 taliban at that range in 2 shots, a true sniper.

@rdsii64

I said it was designed to do that not that it couldn't do more. Those were the specifications that the military needed the round to meet or exceed which it did.

[rdsii64]

@disturbedone5009

The .338 Lapua Magnum will penetrate those 5 layers of military body armor from further away than 1000 yards. its desinged engagement envelope is closer to 1500 yards. at 1000 yards this round still has so much energy that it can be used to disable a large truck engine or detinate a bomb on an enemy aircraft while its still on the runway. I WANT ONE REALLY BAD lol.

@valandilcamcacil People how have the money to spend on a Barrett 98B Don't do it because they need one. They do it because they can. I just wish I was one of the people who could afford such a find piece of firearms enginering.
