"At 12 inches, the normal visual acuity of the human eye is 0.00349
inch."

Introduction/visualacuity.htm

Now, I realize that I'm supposed to be a liar according to you, but math
doesn't lie.

At 460 meters = 500 yards = 1500 feet, the normal visual acuity of the
human eye is (1500 * 0.00349) 5.235 inches.

You're welcome.

Never shot a rifle in your life, have you, Baker?
You're not lying. You really don't know you are insane. I repeat:
the human eye cannot discern a nine inch circle at 460 yards.
Especially Horvath's eye.

I've shot .22, .303, 7.62mm FN-FAL. (As well as the Canadian Forces SMG,
Browning .30 machine gun (re-calibered for 7.62mm NATO) and the Browning
..50 cal.

You're not lying. You really don't know you are insane. I repeat:

And you're wrong.

If you translate the height of a standard 20/20 target letter to what it
would be at 500 yards, you get 26" high. Clearly, if one can see a 20/20
letter, then one can see details on it that are less than 9".

Especially Horvath's eye.

LOL

Unlike you, Scottie. I have the references:

http://www.ndt-ed.org/EducationResou...PenetrantTest/
Introduction/visualacuity.htm

Which you've already been given and which gives a lower limit of 5.235
inches at 500 yards.

"Snellen defined ³standard vision² as the ability to recognize one of
his optotypes when it subtended 5 minutes of arc. Thus the optotype can
only be recognized if the person viewing it can discriminate a spatial
pattern separated by a visual angle of 1 minute of arc."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snellen_chart

So a person with normal vision can discriminate objects of 1 minute of
arc.

"Firearms
This unit is commonly found in the firearms industry and literature,
particularly that concerning the accuracy of rifles. The industry tends
to refer to it as minute of angle rather than minute of arc. It is
popular because 1 MOA subtends approximately one inch at 100 yards, a
traditional distance on target ranges. "

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_of_arc

So a minute of arc is 1" at 100 yards, which makes it 5" at 500 yards.

Alan! Stop! Not only are you embarrassing Scott by exposing his
ignorance of firearms and lack of visual acuity, you are also testing
the limits of his grammar school arithmetic.

My teenage nieces have more experience with weapons than Scooter. Last
time I took one of them to the range, we had to pare down what to
take. You can only fit so much into a Ferrari.

It was kind of a history lesson, starting with civil war rifles and
moving up to more modern toys. I spent more on ammo in one day than
Scoot makes selling **** stained pants in three years. But I need to
teach my nieces how to protect themselves. The nephew already
knows. He has his own collection..

Scooter has Bert.
