Destiny Auto Rifles Question

What the best destiny auto rifle?

This is the hunting section...hunting like a gun that you use to go shoot at deer, then you field dress them, skin them, cut them up, and eat them. I don't know what "destiny" is (other than the literal definition of the word) and I've got no clue what a "pve" is, or what makes an auto rifle "legendary". If you want people that know these things, you should find a category that has something to do with whatever you are asking about.

Question on semi-auto rifles?

The bullet is out of the barrel before the bolt moves. Usually the bolt is operated by excess gas that is vented towards the end of the barrel. The gas then moves back through a piston to operate the bolt. By then, the bullet is well on its way. If it is a simple blow back design, there is usually some sort of delay built into it to keep it locked until the pressure is clear of the barrel. If the bolt was to open on a pressurized barrel, it would sure get your attention.

I have a question about automatic rifles?

Guns use gunpowder. Gunpowder explodes, shooting hot gasses everywhere. If it inside a machine (like a gun) these hot gasses can be used and directed.

99% of the hot gasses from the gunpowder push the bullet out, 1% of the hot gasses press key gun parts backwards and against springs, setting it up to be fired again

The cartridge is a brass case that contains gunpowder, a primer, and the bullet. The gun gets it's power from the gunpowder. The primer sparks when it is hit with the hammer, this ignites the gunpowder, which burns or explodes, and these hot gasses push the bullet out the barrel

This is true of ALL firearms. It is even true of the old old old muzzleloaders, except you just put the gunpowder and bullet in yourself, it didn't come all contained in a nice brass case

The way MOST hammers and triggers work is that there is a spring inside. You pull the hammer back, compressing the spring. The trigger allows the hammer to snap back down, just like a mousetrap slamming shut.

Here is how automatic guns work. You put the cartridge in, and you cock back the hammer (compressing the spring) Now, you pull the trigger and the hammer snaps forward, hits the primer and ignites the gunpowder. The gunpowder burns and the hot gasses push the bullet out the barrel...except there is a hole a little ways down the gun, this redirects SOME of the hot gasses backwards, and these gases push some internal parts of the gun (the bolt and the hammer) backwards against a second spring. This re-cocks the hammer, and when the gasses dissipate, the second spring pushes the bolt forward. A third spring is in the magazine, and that pushes a fresh cartridge up. The bolt, being pushed by the spring, passes across the top of the magazine, grabs anything on top of it (which in this case, is a fresh unfired cartridge) and slides it into the barrel.

If the trigger is heald down, the hammer comes smashing down and fires the cartridge and the whole thing starts all over.

Old Rifle Question please help?

My father has a rifle that we have no idea what year it is or what kind it is. All we know is it has an Octagon shaped barel and it is a single shot. The top part pulls up where you then pull back the firing pin and insert the bullet and the close the top and you are ready to fire. Now if you lift that up it says B97. That is all that is on the gun. I just want to know if any1 can tell me how old this gun is or possibly who manufactured it. I know that if it is between 17 and early 1900s then there is almost no way of telling who the manufacture was. Seeing as how almost everyone had tried to be a gunsmith back then. If anyone has any idea's please let me know. Again B97 are the only marking's

Questions about the fn fal rifle?

DS Arms (www.dsarms.com) sells both California legal FALs (not cheap, but the best on the market), and the Only decent scope mount I've been able to find for them.

The MIa/M14 versus FAL argument?

That's a bit tougher. My take on that is this: I would take a forged M14 over a forged FAL, but I would take a forged FAL over an investment cast M1A.

The M14 has better sights and a better trigger in stock form (the FAL can be upgraded to match it though), is a little simpler (The FAL has more parts than any rifle I know of), and is lighter. The M14 mags are a tad more expensive (this used to be a huge difference, but its narrowed quite a bit recently).

I am willing to bet that your average M14 is more accurate than your average FAL. (although there are certainly exceptions). The M14 runs cleaner, and the self-regulating gas system is superior to the FAL's 7 position regulator.

All of these differences are minimal. I ended up choosing the FN FAL because of the way it felt when I fired it, and the controls all seemed like they were laid out better. I'm also a bigger guy and the weight difference probably means less to me than it would otherwise.

@Robert: he is comparing the M14/M1A to the FN FAL, not the M4 carbine.

Question about scoped rifles.?

Hello Brent!

Personally, I would NOT go through that process of elimination. As an avid competitive rifleman, I have had exposure to a number of good, high quality, accurate rifles ... I know what works and what doesn't. I also know that in the field, I have to maintain and (if necessary) repair my rifle. And that would mandate that I select a .30.

My top 4 choices would be:
a) Remington Model 700 in .308 with a Weaver T16 scope (with Dot reticule)
b) Winchester Model 70T in either .308 or .30-06 with a Weaver T16 (with Dot reticule)
c) M1A/M14/M21 system with an ART scope or comparable
d) M1903A4 Springfield with a Weaver T16 scope (with Dot reticule).

The scopes could be lesser power Weaver T models, and the Remington and Winchester would preferably be stocked in an H-S Precision stock with the aluminum bedding block.

For ammunition, I would look for the new XM118 for the .308s, which uses the Sierra 175 gr HPBT MatchKing, or with the .30-06, either M72 Match (if you can find any), or a match load using M72 cases and the Sierra 175 gr HPBT MatchKing. Either round has proven match accuracy in a well tuned rifle, and can produce 1-1.5 MOA accuracy at 1,000 yards.

BTW, with the exception of the M1903A4, all of these rifles would be (and are) my choice for 1,000 yard matches.

Good luck and good shooting!

Mini 14 rifle ?quesTION ?

ansWER:
No, you cannot turn the Mini 14 into a full auto firearm. Buy a Ruger ACC-556 instead; of course you'll have some paperwork and license fees to take care of first.

The Mini-14 can fire both the .223 Remington cartridge and the 5.56x45mm cartridge. As for differences between the Mini-14 and the AR15; I think it's like Chevy vs Ford. Some guys swear by their AR15; other guys love their Mini-14. Mini-14s are usually cheaper than AR15s; Some people say Mini-14s aren't as accurate; Other people use their Mini-14 for years and never have a complaint. I can't say anything good or bad about either one. Usually, if it burns gunpowder at a reliable rate with reasonable accuracy, it gets a nod from me.

There are no Mini-14s chambered in 7.62x39mm; However, the Mini-30 uses the 7.62x39mm cartridge.

The difference between the Mini-14 and the Mini-30 is that the Mini-14 will shoot .223 / 5.56x45mm cartridges while the Mini-30 will fire 7.62x39mm cartridges.

The effective range for a mini-14 depends on who is firing the gun and what the target is. From chuck hawk: "Factory trajectory tables show that a scope sighted .223 shooting the 55 grain spitzer bullet and zeroed at 200 yards hits 1.5" high at 100 yards, 1.5" high at 150 yards, 0 at 200 yards, 3" low at 250 yards, and 7.9" low at 300 yards. The .223 is a 235+ yard varmint cartridge."
http://www.chuckhawks.com/223rem.htm

The .223 bullet moves at 3200 feet per second. The 7.62x39mm fires a heavier bullet that travels at 2300 feet per second. Because the 7.62x39 is slower, it will not have as flat as a trajectory as the .223 and long range shots will require aiming farther above the target. But it will hit with greater force due to the heavier bullet:

.223 at 500 yards: 291 foot lbs
7.62x39mm at 500 yards: 395 foot lbs.

The best gun truly depends upon what you are most comfortable with no matter what anybody says; but in my opinion, the best guns are actually swords. Lol just joking with you.This is the best gun.But if you are talking about like non OP weapons that one shot, then it is all up to you man. I prefer hand cannons because of the high impact and fairly decent range. For awhile, I have been using this Palindrome for like… everything, because it has luck in the chamber, enhanced tracking, and Sureshot the sight. It is not the best but it is fairly exceptional and so I am comfortable with it now and it is a perfect primary weapon for me.What makes a good gun is the composition plus the disposition of it already being good. For example, I also have this God role Treads upon Stars(A beautiful Scout rifle) and it is also freaking perfect for me. It has explosive rounds, rifled barrel, and that one perk that heals you at low health(same as the one on the devils dawn). It is magnificent. I have slayed countless foes in the crucible and in PvE. Although I will admit I primarily use it in Crotas End when I cannot regenerate my health. It is full on a God tier scout rifle, and I count myself very lucky for having it.This isn’t mine, just an example so you can see itBut essentially that is all the composition I was talking about. Now, the inherent goodness of a weapon. I am talking about things such as the Eyasluna, and the Midha Multi-tool, and the Matador 64. These types of guns are very good at damn near everything it seems, but especially crucible. I am fairly certain, that these types of guns are the ones that the creators felt deserved to be gifted for some reason.
