POLL: You get 10 shots to hit a circle target with a 6" diameter with a Barrett .50 cal sniper rifle from 2000 yards. Every shot you hit it you get $1M. If you don't hit you go to jail for 5 years. Do you take it?

Do I have a spotter?

Yes

What’s the wind like?

Perfect conditions

Still too rich for me

2000 yards is too far for me on that bet.

Considering the Barrett only claims 1 MOA accuracy, no way. It's all luck at that point.

The gun itself only guarantees a 10% chance at that distance.

Radioactive Coug

Don’t hit with all 10? So you only need 1

crimedog

That’s a good question; every shot you miss is 5 years in jail

byuguns55

5/25/19 4:33pm

They way I read it if you hit at least one in ten no jail

cougarfann888

If you miss all of the shots you get 5 years.

AlphaCoug

Factory ammo? Do I get to use my own. Is the barrel hot? is it cold?

crimedog

Barrel cold and factory ammo

AlphaCoug

Nope pass

Do I get a week to practice before the big day?

Is it an African or European Swallow?

Also which jail? Rikers Island, San Quentin or low security prison for white

Nobody on CB makes that shot. 6 inches folks. Not 6 feet. 2000 yards. Not feet

We’re also talking 5 years vs millions of dollars. I know that’s chump change to

Sure, but I don't think people realize how near impossible this task is.

Spindash

5/25/19 7:37pm

No way. Pretty much guaranteed jail, considering 6" @2000 is essentially 1/3 MOA

Spindash

5/25/19 5:25pm

I agree. Even with a computer that did everything perfectly, it's still only a 30% chance for 1/10

Radioactive Coug

5/25/19 5:28pm

Exactly. The variance of a 1 MOA gun itself necessitates some luck.

Spindash

5/25/19 5:37pm

I think the holdover would be over 500". That's crazy.

Radioactive Coug

5/25/19 5:41pm

This is another reason I certainly wouldn't take the challenge.

Spindash

5/25/19 5:54pm

Agreed. I know all of those things you mentioned.

5/25/19 6:44pm

It would be tempting at 1000m but no way I try twice that.

JohnnyComeLately

Problem is the gun, not the shooters.

molodyets

5/25/19 8:10pm

There are two confirmed Kill shots with that gun over 2000m

JohnnyComeLately

5/25/19 8:18pm

Yep, and with the Barrett M82 (or similar) they would need some luck to do it.

Spindash

5/25/19 8:15pm

Can I use of those fancy computer assisted scopes?

mudpupper

5/25/19 5:40pm

Can I get a running start first?

Cougarclaw

5/25/19 5:44pm

Absolutely, as long as I get to use TriggerLink

Skeptical Optimist

5/25/19 6:12pm

TriggerLink still has the same mechanical limitations. They only claim 1 MOA.

Radioactive Coug

5/25/19 6:31pm

Quite a few people heading to jail. 6” is insanely small zone at that distance.

5/25/19 7:17pm

Ha ha, I marked yes because I read 2000 feet

So much negativity, fear and doubt in this thread, take the chance.
