JANES.COM review of our SAR 21 rifle

I like this idea. But there are still "old skool" mentality regarding batteries and electrical stuff... From the ways things develop, it is the way to go.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Perhaps Tranche 3 (the Modular MMS Rail model in the 3G Army concept)should feature the floating red-dot reflex sight as standard.

More likely it's your technique.Originally posted by CKtalon:somehow I dun find the scope accurate..
Target on the crosshairs, but the rounds fly too low and hits the ground..
I doubt it's my technique..
What I experienced.... at different distances, you have to adjust your aim.
I'm going to have to go into Newtonian mechanics here... bear with me.
Anyway, the rifling (i.e. the internal grooves) of the barrels is meant to keep the bullet in a straight line. However, after some time, the path of the bullet becomes parabolic. To those who don't know what is a parabola, it is roughly the same shape as a semicircle.
This was what I experienced:
At 100m and below: The bullet travels in a more or less straight line. Thus you ought to be able to aim anywhere on the target. Obviously, try aiming for the middle. Don't try to be superman and aim for headshot (unless if it's Fig 15 of course)
At 200m: The bullet is in the upward portion of the parabola when it reaches the target. Thus, it will hit somewhere just above where you aim. Therefore, try aiming for the base of the target.
At 300m: The bullet is in the downward portion of the parabola. In other words, the bullet will hit just below where you aim. Therefore, you should aim for the top of the target.
That's what I experienced, and that was my reasoning. There may be holes in my arguments, though. Any comments.... anyone? -

Your suggested trajectory for the bullet looks like the one i saw on a chart outside a range. So i guess its accurate.
i think its a good rifle though. Day/Night i took a rifle w/o zeroing at 100m at got 18/19 out of 20.
But some ppl's scope and LAD are obciusly not zeroed properly. They were hitting the floor most of the time!
I guess its a problem with ppl messing too much with the zeroing. -
That's the problem with zeroing shoots. The rifle may already be well-zeroed, but the incompetency of the firer may lead to the rifle being rezeroed (inaccurately this time).Originally posted by lwflee:^

If you don't hit the target don't just blame the rifle..... It may be you yourself who's at fault. -
STK factory has a prototype sar21 wif that lehOriginally posted by LazerLordz:Perhaps Tranche 3 (the Modular MMS Rail model in the 3G Army concept)should feature the floating red-dot reflex sight as standard. -
I'm thinking on the lines of actually allocating that more rapidly.
