Wal Mart should equip their stores with these , let them roam the parking lot and chase off people who aren't dressed appropriately for being out in public.

I was wondering what a 30-30 Win round would do to one of those. Fired from the appropriate "social distance", of course

The robot dog, or the person who came to Wal Mart inappropriately dressed for being in public?

I may snicker, roll my eyes, laugh at or be disgusted by the way some people dress, but I don't think that is a capital offense.

On the other hand, if some idjit has his robot floating in the air, walking, or stalking around my house I hope said idjit bought the insurance. I wouldn't think twice about blowing away a mechanical spy

400 meters should suffice

400 meters should suffice

400 meters with a 30-30 would be a miracle shot. At that range you better bust out the .300 magnum.

ooops my bad .... read 30-30 and brain said 308.... sorry. 30-30 would about 200 meters max! .308 should be good to at least 800 (if not more) bullet drop for 30-30 would over 6 feet at 400 meters and probably take a week to get there.

[STTAB]

I've done it more than once....but maybe I am just lucky

I definitely won't call you a liar, but I will say that you know guns and you know that a 400 yard shot with a 3030 is a very risky shot. For any shooter, the ammo just doesn't have the punch.

400 meters should suffice

That sounds like a challenge, Sergeant Major. 400 meters with a carbine and open sights. Just a little Kentucky windage ..

.308 using an M-14 is good for 1000 m in the offhand (standing -- don't know what other services call it). That's match shooting in the Marines.

[Gunny]

The 30-30 I usually shoot at 100 m because I basically bought it as a big handgun. And the closest range only has 100 m Seriously, if I want a rifle, I have those too

Either way, only the knowledge that it would not be beyond them to call it killing a police officer in the line of duty, would stop me from shooting one of those damned things.

Lee- Enfield .303 No. 4 Mark II-- ten rounds fully loaded.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee%E2%80%93Enfield

The Lee–Enfield is a bolt-action, magazine-fed, repeating rifle that served as the main firearm used by the military forces of the British Empire and Commonwealth during the first half of the 20th century. It was the British Army's standard rifle from its official adoption in 1895 until 1957.[10][11] The WWI versions are often referred to as the "SMLE", which is short for the common "Short, Magazine, Lee–Enfield" variant.

A redesign of the Lee–Metford (adopted by the British Army in 1888), the Lee–Enfield superseded the earlier Martini–Henry, Martini–Enfield, and Lee–Metford rifles. It featured a ten-round box magazine which was loaded with the .303 British cartridge manually from the top, either one round at a time or by means of five-round chargers. The Lee–Enfield was the standard issue weapon to rifle companies of the British Army and other Commonwealth nations in both the First and Second World Wars (these Commonwealth nations included Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India and South Africa, among others).[12] Although officially replaced in the UK with the L1A1 SLR in 1957, it remained in widespread British service until the early/mid-1960s and the 7.62 mm L42A1 sniper variant remained in service until the 1990s. As a standard-issue infantry rifle, it is still found in service in the armed forces of some Commonwealth nations,[13] notably with the Bangladesh Police, which makes it the second longest-serving military bolt-action rifle still in official service, after the Mosin–Nagant (Mosin-Nagant receivers are used in the Finnish 7.62 Tkiv 85).[14] The Canadian Rangers unit still use Enfield rifles, with plans to replace the weapons sometime in 2017–2018 with the new Sako-designed Colt Canada C19.[15] Total production of all Lee–Enfields is estimated at over 17 million rifles.[8]
