Gotta admit that is impressive

THERE WERE METERS BACK THEN? ALONG WITH THE ABILITY TO MEASURE RANGES TO THE METER OVER 1000+ meter distances?ROFLMAO. GO OUTSIDE AND HAVE SOMEBODY WALK 1271 meters from you and then "picture the HUNDREDS OF FEET OF DROP A "WHITWORTH BULLET" HAS AT THAT RANGE and START USING YOUR HEAD FOR SOMETHING BESIDES A PLACE FOR LIARS TO STORE THEIR PRODUCTS. YOU ARE A REAL SMART INDIVIDUAL AREN'T YOU? Wikipedia "officials" won't even let WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES REFER TO WIKIPEDIA AS A RELIABLE SOURCE BECAUSE ITS SUCH AN EASY TARGET FOR COMPLETE LIES AND FAKE "FACTS". But yeah. Don't question ANYTHING you SEE ON THE INTERNET. What are you, 8 years old?

Don't think anyone ever said it wasn't

What the literal fuck are you even on about?

A-Are you ok user?

Summers here men, and not only did it bring summer(friends) it brought crack addicts too somehow

The meter was standardized in the early 19th century and odometers have been around for literal millennia.

Are you stupid?

Goddamn it grandpa! I told you not to get on fucking Jow Forums anymore!

read a book

Also, OP mentioned minute of angle and yards, where did metres come into it?
Are you ok mate? Do you need us to call someone?

Isn't sub moa at 50 yards the exact same as at 500?

You could get a .22LR MOA at 50 yards, but good luck even hitting paper at 500 even if you try to account for bullet drop and wind

Technically yes, since 1MOA=1" diameter per 100 yards but in practice guns eventually have a drastic change in accuracy after some distance. For instance, you might have a 1MOA AKM but after 300 yards your groups will go to total shit.

In theory yes, in practice not really.

Yes, but one is far more impressive than the other.

Are you just throwing accuracy related words out? I really doubt it was a sub MOA gun

I believe there was some confusion between MOA and the antiquated Figure Of Merit. The Whitworth was able to shoot a figure of merit of less than 1 at 500 yards, and while that's extremely impressive for time, its not < MOA accuracy

In terms of the basic geometry, yes, you're right, since its an angular measurement.

In practical reality, the deviation of bullets tends to follow a curve, not a line. And so a gun that has a mechanical accuracy of 1 MOA at 50 yards may have a mechanical accuracy of 2 or 3 MOA at 500 yards.

Firearms Jesus said it was sub moa at 500 yards, unless he was confused
