Looks like the AR's still require the same bespoke ammunition, but they're still aiming to accurately hit targets from 500 yards to 750 yards depending on the rifle/round used.
- gonzo 12y agoAnyone who shoots Palma or 1000 yd matches hand-loads anyway. Edit: ARs are used in NRA high power matches out to 600 yards. This rifle 'system' doesn't accomplish anything that a well-trained human can't accomplish.

- doorhammer 12y agoJust ran across this response. Forgot I even commented on this. That's sort of the point to me. Tech always gets cheaper, people usually don't. If you're wealthy enough to buy a $20,000 rifle for fun (I'm assuming the kind of person that can buy a $20,000 rifle probably doesn't need it) then the time spent to learn to consistently hit the shots might be worth more than the money you spend on the rifle. Other than that, "This x doesn't accomplish anything that a well-trained human can't accomplish" could have been and likely was said about almost any technology that's existed. In a similar somewhat less historically accurate vein, I'm reminded of John Henry.
