Explanation of Terms in Weapons

Caliber: Size of the rounds being fired. Also a measure of lethality in circumstances.

Action: Ways in which the gun operated. All assault rifles are gas operated with a rotating bolt, in otherwords where the previous shot fires re-cocks the hammer and sets another round into the chamber ready to fire. Delayed blowback is where the recoil impacts the user after they finish firing the weapon.

Overall Length/Barrel Length: How long the (part of the) weapon is.

Weight Loaded/Unloaded: How much the gun weighs with a full clip and without.

Mag Capacity: The amount of rounds that can be fit into a magazine or ammo drum.

Muzzle Velocity: The speed at which the round fired leaves the muzzle.

RoF: Rate of fire. How fast the weapon shoots off rounds. RPM means rounds per minute.

Effective Range: The range at which a gun can shoot accurately and harm a target.

MoA: Minute of Angle. The most common way to describe accuracy is to measure the average diameter of the circle that may be drawn around the group of bullet holes in a target. The MoA is the measure of the angle, that formed with the triangle of the muzzle as the top and the group of bullet holes as the base. 1 MoA is roughly equivalent to 1 inch hole group diameter at 100 yards (91 meters) or to 2 inches at 200 yards, etc. So, if you read that X rifle shoots 4 MoA groups, it means that at 300 yards, this rifle could place 30 or so bullets in a circle of no more than 12 inches in diameter. At 100 rounds, it could place 30 or so rounds in a circle of 4 inches in diameter. Standard assault rifle MoA are about 6 to 10 groups. Shotguns are at 10 to 15 groups. Pistols are at 5 to 7 MoA groups. Sniper rifles are at 3 MoA groups or less, some going as low as even .3 MoA. Machine guns are between 7 and 12 MoA and sub-machine guns at 5 to 8 MoA.

Action: Ways in which the gun operated. All assault rifles are gas operated with a rotating bolt, in otherwords where the previous shot fires re-cocks the hammer and sets another round into the chamber ready to fire. Delayed blowback is where the recoil impacts the user after they finish firing the weapon.


Your definition of delayed blowback is incorrect. Blowback systems for semi- and full-auto fire utilize springs behind the bolt for their method of operation the firing sequence is as follows: a round is fired, the recoil from the shot forces the bolt rearward ejecting the empty brass, the operating springs behind the bolt force it forward again, stripping a new round from the mag and closing the bolt. Delayed blowback utilizes some system, typically rollers, to slow the rearward motion of the bolt and thus spread the recoil out over a longer period of time (though it is still best measured in milliseconds). The recoil hits the user's shoulder well before the second round is fired. Gas operated systems are mechanically very similar to bolt actions, save the use of gas to precipitate semi- and full-auto firing. Basically, some distance down the barrel, some of the extra gases created when a round is fired are siphoned off to rotate the bolt, move it rearward, move it forward again, and rotate the bolt back into battery.

MoA: Minute of Angle. The most common way to describe accuracy is to measure the average diameter of the circle that may be drawn around the group of bullet holes in a target. The MoA is the measure of the angle, that formed with the triangle of the muzzle as the top and the group of bullet holes as the base. 1 MoA is roughly equivalent to 1 inch hole group diameter at 100 yards (91 meters) or to 2 inches at 200 yards, etc. So, if you read that X rifle shoots 4 MoA groups, it means that at 300 yards, this rifle could place 30 or so bullets in a circle of no more than 12 inches in diameter. At 100 rounds, it could place 30 or so rounds in a circle of 4 inches in diameter. Standard assault rifle MoA are about 6 to 10 groups. Shotguns are at 10 to 15 groups. Pistols are at 5 to 7 MoA groups. Sniper rifles are at 3 MoA groups or less, some going as low as even .3 MoA. Machine guns are between 7 and 12 MoA and sub-machine guns at 5 to 8 MoA.

Your average accuracy specs are off a bit. Here are some more realistic numbers:

Assault rifle (western): ~ 2-3 MOA
Assault rifle (eastern): ~ 6-8 MOA
Shotgun (using slugs): ~ 4 MOA
Shotgun(18" bbl, cylinder bore): ~ 100 MOA pattern (not a typo, cylinder bore expands the shot cloud about 1 inch per yard the shot travels :D )
Pistol: ~ 10-15 MOA
Sniper rifle: 1 MOA maximum, some as accurate as 1/4 MOA
Machine gun(light/medium): ~6-8 MOA (when fired in the semi-automatic mode)
Machine gun (12.7mm/.50 cal and above): ~ 2 MOA when fired semi
Submachinegun: ~ 10-12 MOA when fired semi, though this is a useless fact because nobody fires a subgun anything but F/A :D



Note that real-world testing generally utilizes much smaller sample sizes for accuracy testing (for sniper rifles, typically 3 or 5 shot groups; for everything else, typically 5 or 10 shots per group). Seldom would you ever see a test where 30 rounds were fired at one target to determine accuracy; most testers feel that more than ten rounds is more plinking than testing :lol:

Sniper rifle: 1 MOA maximum, some as accurate as 1/4 MOA

Barrett M82A1's a 2 MOA gun.
Then again, when you're shooting SCUD's and APC's, you don't have to be as accurate.

Damn outdated gun information sources... :? Danke, hauptmann! Better fix it a bit.
