  2. Longest recorded sniper kills - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_recorded_sniper_kills

    For example, a rifle capable of firing a ½ or 0.5 MOA (approximately 0.5 inch center to center of the two holes furthest apart) 5-round group (often referred to as "grouping") at 100 yards will theoretically fire a 12.5 inch group at 2,500 yards (0.5 × 2,500/100 = 12.5). Unless the group is centered perfectly on the target at 100 yards, the ...

    Although it can diminish precision, its effect on practical accuracy in a rifle of this type is limited. The front sight has a hooded post. The rear sight is an open notch type which is adjustable for elevation from 100 to 1,000 metres (110 to 1,090 yd).

    [174] As a result, the milled AK-47s are capable of shooting 3–5 inch groups at 100 yards, whereas the stamped AKMs are capable of shooting 4–6 inch groups at 100 yards. [130] [174] The best shooters can hit a man-sized target at 800 meters within five shots (firing from a prone or supported position) or ten shots (standing). [180]

  5. Shot grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_grouping

    Handguns are typically less accurate; at a shooting distance of 25 yd, a grouping is considered acceptable for self-defense if the shots fall within a circle of 4 to 5 inches, which is 15 to 19 MOA (equivalent to a grouping of 100-150 mm at 25 meters, which is 4-6 mils), [9] representing the shot pattern needed to hit the vital organs of a ...

  6. Accurizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accurizing

    Groups for rifles are traditionally shot at either 100 meters or 100 yards (91 m). At 100 yd a minute of arc equals 1.047 inches (26.6 mm), and the one MOA group (approximately 1/3 or 0.3 mil) is a traditional benchmark of accuracy. Handguns are generally used at closer ranges, and are tested for accuracy at their intended range of use.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_power_rifle

    The shooting is done at known distances of 100 to 1000 yards from the firing line depending on the format of the match. Some High Power Rifle matches are shot only at 200 yards, such as sometimes seen during specific M1 Garand matches, and Axis and Allies matches, although they are still shot from various positions (standing, sitting/kneeling ...
