I feel like someone here is going to get snipped, if it was a SKS, it was caboose, if it was a 308, then it was Milk.

Put in my pre-order earlier today before the offer for a free game came out, so I went on Origin chat, and they added the game of my choice to my account. Took a while to wait in line, but they were happy to do it!

who cares about the SKS, you can turn any weapon into anything
i mean for christs sake i just watched a group of guys turn an AK74 into a 1000 yard sniper rifle and it passed all military tests, if the weapon is customized any weapon can become something its originally not. http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/sons...0-yard-ak.html |

Just a small point, when being a marksman it is not about how much lead you put into the air but consistent shot placement, and with a rifle designed to be an all around battle rifle, the SKS does not really have the ability to be consistent at shot placement. I enjoy talking to you about these subjects Mailman, and I know everyone has different opinions on guns from their wide variety of experiences, so let's try to keep this a back and forth and not a flame war. Also, I can't help but feel my troll senses tingling on some of what you say above.

Ah yes, the .308, my favorite round to shoot out of a rifle. Fell in love after handling my friend's HK91. As for handguns...must go with my friend's grandfather's Colt M1911. The .45 will make her holla!

Gamescom 2011 is from August 17 to August 21. Sounds like they will have a Conquest map ready for the beta...

True to an extent. Extractor spring tension makes a big difference also. |

Regarding the M9 vs the M1911: Modern loadings on both rounds make them very similar to each other, to the point where they both kill well. I think the M9 gets a ton of crap because of the magazine problems early on in US adoption of the weapon. We also adopted 9mm to standardize with the current NATO handgun load. If you look at the 1970s pistol trials conducted by the Army, you will see that the M9 comes out on top for what they are looking for in a handgun. The M1911 was shelved because of not meeting the requirements of the military at the time. Nobody is arguing it is a bad handgun or caliber, but the M9 fulfills a wider variety of roles than the M1911, which is why it is currently the pick.

Did you have to pay the full amount or are they billing when it comes out?

Cleaning a rifle takes a full break down period! Dirt and carbon will ruin a good rifle *EVEN A AK47*. I clean my AK about once a month and keep it oiled and wrapped in my gun case. Another point of the rifle people forget is the magazines! They need took apart and cleaned as well. Keeping a magazine loaded 24/7 will wear the spring out very quickly.
Determining bullet drop and FPS will go back to what ammunition you use. Things like Boat Tail, Grain amount, and type of lead/powder used will help in long range marksmanship. Match grade ammo is a term tended to be used with long range shooting. It matches the specs I mentioned above to type of rifle, distance, and surroundings. These can be customized by loading your own rounds to desired specs. *All of info above came from teachings of the McMillan Sniper Course *

Bullet drop is not set in stone occurrence. Its determined on set perimeters like temp, wind, ammunition, twist, exc
Use this calculator, it will help http://www.handloads.com/calc/ *EDIT* More info, there are some manauls on the mcmillan sniper school's new website http://www.sniperschool.com/
