*** I cuold use a .308, but I don’t need to lead anything at 300 ft (100 yds.) if I break out “Ole’ Painless” (.50 cal) ***

Alrighty, you go right to the head of the class!
You just got Triple Extra Credit for having a .50 Cal ;-)

Up to this point I thought a “Domestic Drone” was just another name for an Obama Voter. Mark Levin talks about them all the time.

Tear gas and rubber bullets...

While tear gas can be delivered from almost any range, rubber bullets are a 200 yard max ballistic item. So, BS!

These things can be armed with almost anything, especially the larger, military grade models, and once the door is opened to 'delivering payloads', it is almost guaranteed the 'effectiveness' of the payloads will escalate.

Why bother with mere rubber bullets when you can have 'steel rain'? Then go in and mop up.

Why punch tear gas rounds out of the Bradleys (like Waco) when you can just drop incendiaries and get the job done? (--and blame the residents--after all, the Ministry of information dissemination told you they were a cult, citizen!)

The “next step in effective law enforcement” borders on the next step to the Total Police State.

I have maintained for years that by the time the Federal Government seals the borders, it will be to keep us in, not 'them' out.

About 100 ft., and hold just a little to the north, mebbe 6 inches or so...

Nah, that'd have missed by a mile...

Ten feet should do it, .12 seconds of travel for the round at 2500 ft./second to go 300 ft., .12 seconds of travel for the target at 88 ft./sec, puts the target 10.56 ft. further downrange, not allowing that the shot is along the hypotenuse of the triangle.

You also get a 1st place Trophy for your excellent math skills.
The other Winner has a .50 Cal so I couldn't ignore that ;-)

BUT, no more winners. Contest over.
This isn't a gubmint run school contest where everyone gets a trophy just for 'being' :-)

Just remember, lead flies both ways...

Yep. What goes up must come down, too... but the R/C crowd has me thinking of other ideas which do not involve lead...
