Don’t know why people are claiming this guy is not a SEAL, he has a pretty well established reputation. That said, appreciate the input.
Trump turning his head was the difference!
Navy seal sniper huh ….. naw bra
The shooter was dead on with his distance. Duh
Good grief
Depending on the type propellant the velocity might change 30-50 ft/s. Impact variance at the range the sniper was shooting would not vary by the amount you are saying. Maybe 0.5 inch's max or less would be seen.
He went to the range to check his zero the day before!!! That’s a fact!
You know, what you’re doing isn’t exactly against the law, but posing as a Navy Seal in your title, then blathering on when you are grossly misinformed is a slap in the face to those who are actually out front defending your right to belittle them.
Stop what you are doing and find something constructive to do.
This jackwad doesn't know nothing about weapons platforms. Step away from the Playstation! You don't know JACK!
I thought it was a Daniel Defense?
Stolen valor
The trigger pulls and seems little bit heavy.
You are clueless on what you are talking about. Throwing Navy Seal Sniper in the title is click bait dude.
WRONG!
Temp sensitivity is normally related to powder burn rate or leaving ammo in the sun or hot car. Temp sensitive powders can cause higher spikes in pressure, IMR 4895 for example will give me about 100 more FPS when using it in the summer when temps reach 95f or higher. This higher pressure and velocity can cause impact changes.
I was wondering if we would hear what make AR it was. Just a couple unclear pictures looked I thought he had no optics.
Poors tier.
Who are you? There ain't 3 inches drop at 130 yards.
150 or so yards …hmmm that's a no brainer.
Yeah the Dem Censors at YT are set on high. You can’t say much about “Loud noises disrupt the RNC, Trump rushed of stage” – Dems
DPMS was under DOD contract and also made parts for Colt under contract
Colt prices were bullshit and DPMS was not
Thank you for that useless information.
He had iron sights
A DPMS AR is a budget AR at best. I heard that the sight was a EOTech red dot holographic device with no magnification device so you are looking at approximately 6 MOA at 130 yards. Not a good choice in my book.
News Flash – Air is less dense when it is hotter, not greater.
Think of it as thicker air and thinner air. Air is thicker when it is cold. It is thinner when it is hot.
The temp change didn't cause the shooter to miss high, he near missed left. Your theory is wrong as wrong can be.
Most ARs are pretty much the same,if you just get straight out of the box,there are a few that are not.but its not a bad brand or anything
