Yeah I was pretty surprised to learn that very few people on this forum have ever even bothered to check their weapons performance with regards to accuracy. Usually just draws ridicule and phonebooth jokes. Everyone seems pretty content with reliable F/A and stops function checking there. Competition guys are only concerned with ranges of about 40 yards or less so they rarely check either.Bench rest. That's funny. I don't even use a target most of the time.![]()
I think that's actually pretty pathetic for a group of enthusiasts who like to consider themselves at the apex of civilian gun ownership. The fudds are kinda kicking our ass there.
What? Who is the tampax of civilization - Master Blaster Plaster Caster KISS ?LOL! And there I was thinking of myself as a proud deplorable..........and suddenly...........I'm at the apex of civilian gun ownership. Who knew??

I took that a bit differently. Fudds are generally the “anti-black/scary gun” hunting crowd. In the context of this conversation, at least the Fudds will usually know where their rifles are hitting at 100 yards, unlike many MG owners.Basically, what im getting at, is that your view that all mg owners are "fudds"...is actually a very short sighted ...
+1...I was going to mention the same thing. I rarely shoot any OB SMG from a rested position. In most cases where there is an opportunity to do so I purposely will not let the gun touch the rest as I know that zero not the rested zero.Interesting thread. As many of us have found the "zero" with a rested OB SMG is often different from the "zero" shooting offhand. Folks running SMG matches can have fun with that by offering a "rested" shooting position from 50 yards and competitors quickly find out that they don't know their rested zero.
Why do you think a "rested" zero is different than an offhand zero?+1...I was going to mention the same thing. I rarely shoot any OB SMG from a rested position.

All that said, if I can hit soda cans at 40 yards, I'm good.
