Firearm BS thread

My first Walther.

 

Loading up anything special?

 

Finally got to play with my fancy new chronograph today

 

Bayonetes are illegal lol jk, nice

 

It does kind of look like one doesn’t it!

 

Those muzzle breaks make me jump almost every time someone fires off a round next to me...I know it shouldnt but the blast typically startles me...

 

I can’t imagine it being to much fun being on the receiving end of those. I’m always on the giving end! LOL but I will say it does make a night and day difference in muscle flip and recoil reduction. I have shot it with out the break and it is just a bastard.

 

That's bad ass! I'm jealous.

 

Have you ever seen the pistol version of that? Has a grip on it like the Mossberg Shockwave. Making it totally impractical, but also very cool.

 

Thank you!

 

I’m surprised no one has asked about why such a monsterious Bipod!

 

Just figured you were compensating

 

That’s a lot of compensation! LOL

 

Does having something strapped to the barrel effect accuracy?

 

I have to imagine it would definitely affect the Asymmetrical pressure wave behind the bullet but obviously the chronograph is just there for measuring bullet speed and is temporary.

 

I was thinking more along the line of barrel harmonics.
When I chrono stuff, I'm usually always doing accuracy groupings at the same time to find OCW.

 

I don’t think a 100 yards zero in would give it much issue but definitely would start fucking with the math when you start doping

 

Now I will tell you, I own a crony Alpha, and the feet per second was just over 100 ft./s difference on two different calibers with the v3 over the Alpha. And I would tend to trust the V3‘S Numbers over the Alpha which is like 10 feet out infront of the gun.

 

I don't really care whether speed is displayed100fps lower or higher. The speed is just relative. Shooting two separate ladder batches to work up a load would be a magnetospeed dealbreaker for me. Knowing how fast the bullet is going is of no use if you can't judge which load is most accurate.

 

I agree, but I definitely need to know a accurate speed so I have a baseline for my ballistic mapping. An example of it not affecting a test grouping while using it, I was set up on my 165 yard plate while testing and it had no effect on my grouping. Mind you, its only 1 click but its still a grouping.
