New and Old: Knight's SR15-E3 IWS and U.S. Model of 1842

[jmoore]

About as modern as I get- "Uber AR" 5,56x45mm KAC SR15 E3 IWS with Trijicon TA31RCO M150 optic. "Short range" carbine. Lotsa letters!

At a bad disadvantage if there's no ammo versus the Springfield!


Springfield 1851 manufacture date. .69" caliber musket

Found it on a wall- really! Just not this one...

Versus the 2/3 scale "Blue Cyclops" paper enemy.

Maybe they're blue because it wasn't very warm..

Two banks of three at 50 and 100 yards. All shots fired standing.


First, the Kuh-nig-it's. Three shots per "eye" standing, but single loading to comply with range rules. Basically- Load, get on target, and shoot straight away... Not going for maximum precision.



Same for 100yds. But the cold is getting to the bare digits! Dang! The "pins and needles" will subside directly, but the transition isn't fun.

As above, targets were engaged left to right. After a wretched showing on the center, the RH target was a relief.

Enough of the modern stuff. Next, for the real reason to be out- Refamiliarization with the musket.
