[QUOTE="trbii, post: 204114, member: 2449"] Max distance that will incapacitate a fanatical, drugged or highly motivated human target? That's a good question. Fellow Highpower rifle competitors have pushed a match reload fast enough to hit bullseye targets at 1000 yds. They tell me that is hard on a AR type rifle. 600 yards is done regularly, although my reduced range (200yds.) expert scores fall to 86% sharpshooter when I've tried the full distance match. The crosswinds get me, pushing my 77 gr. reloads a foot away from the ten ring. I've wondered about what distance the 5.56mm bullet runs out of useful steam. I read disturbing stories in the book "Blackhawk Down" of Rangers and Delta Force troops dumping half a mag into Somali militia men only to see them jump back up, AK-47 in hand, charging forward, until M-60 gunner let them have some 7.62 FMJ. Maybe a veteran will comment about the true effective range. [/QUOTE]
