    Just saying, you can absolutely hit something 500+ meters away with iron sights. Heck, I’ve personally done so at 900 meters. I’ll grant that I was prone, however.

      But can you hold it on target consistently for the time needed for this weapon to achieve the deaired effect?

        Absolutely not, although a scope likely wouldn’t assist there. The weapon itself needs to have some form of stabilization that will keep it locked on after firing has started.

      I mean, not having any bullet drop must be pretty nifty but unless it can auto target to a certain degree, you’re gonna be better off trying to shoot it with a rifle or shotgun. I really doubt this thing can sustain fire.
