Very impressive indeed. I do wonder if the results would change significantly if you waited 10 minutes between groups. I mean we know the WWSD doesn't wander off in a spesific direction but we also know that the froups do open up some.
The Warhammer charging handle digs into my back when I have the rifle slung on my shoulder or across my back and occasional hits my spine. I had to go with a smaller charging handle,. I grabbed a Presma ambi charging handle.
Well, 24inches at 300yds would be about 8moa, yes. But his worst shots never fell outside the #3 ring (better than 8moa) - and the point of the comment was his ability from multiple resting positions.
It'd be nice if there was a UK compliant version of this rifle for those of us that shoot over here and aren't allowed such beastly things as assault machine guns (semi-automatic centre fire rifles)!
Maybe it's more of a stability issue? Off the bipod there's less downward pressure allowing more gun movement before the bullet has left the barrel? The other positions physically hold the rifle down, just a thought?
the "all over the place" (relative for sure) could it be because of the harmonic of the rifle on hard surface or something like that when you're on the mag ? Or I'm complety off by thousand of miles :-P ?
Interesting: I get 2 MOA upward shift with a bipod which is actually more than a bit annoying switching from prone to sitting and is quite significant on a fig 12 target. I've also noticed when mag resting that if I also use a sling at the same time it can move the group to the left when increasing the tension. I've tried a change of handguard and change of barrel and it still happens, I'm going to see if switching to a thick walled upper makes any difference...
@@BlokeontheRange I've not noticed much POI changes in other positions and definitely didn't have similar issues with a Ruger Precision in 260, perhaps the effect is more pronounced with the puny 223? Didn't you have an AR10 (failing that STG57): maybe a repeat test with heavier calibre is in order?

Are you allowed suppressors? Question I have about the WWSD2020 is the effect of the weight of the can on the pencil barrel, especially if shooting sideways under a baracade etc.
The question in this case is how much will it shift from different holds. A rifle that shoots perfectly only when held perfectly isn't what most people would call "good".
There's a reason why such tests are not typically done with a rigidly-clamped rifle, cos it won't necessarily vibrate in the same way as when held by a real human. In any case, here we're looking at how different ways of holding/resting affect things.
Free floated barrel or not, the barrel and handguard still mate at the barrel nut. A bipod at the end of the handguard is going to apply a greater moment on the handguard than holding it anywhere else. And moments act on whatever fulcrum you have. So the barrel nut is going to take on that moment and transfer it to the barrel as well. AR-15 free-floats are not truly free-floating
Except that your pressure is on the wrong end to actually fulcrum the barrel since it’s connected near the chamber, not at the end where the bipod is. Any pressure you put out there is negligible at best.
Isn't it a misnomer to say that the barrel is free floated given that the gas tube is attached to the gas block which is attached to the barrel and the gas tube goes into the gas key on the carrier group? So in actuality only the handguard that is free floated?
Technically, yeah but you’re realistically not putting any real forces onto the gas tube or gas block with those hand guards; having built one myself for perspective.
Usually it's the handguard. It makes sense to say free floated here comparing it to the A1 how the barrel is touched. In the truest sense only non gas operated rifles could be free floated. At the top of special order rifles for long range, there are rifles that don't care for free floating but to actively influence the resonance for repeatable shots for 2-3km and beyond. Don't hang yourself up on those terms. Same with DI...just call it Stoner DI and enjoy a range trip.
While I know that you are an experienced marks man, I believe I saw many things in your shooting technique that you might work on and improve. Breathing, trigger pull, tracking ... my2cents
It appears that, as previously shown by Sir Ian Gunjesus, the WWSD is more accurate than Chewbacca's Bowcaster - Thank you, Range Bloke :)
Inrange: we've created the ultimate fighting rifle, peak ar 15 performance for its day
Bloke: sick, imma meme the shit out of though
I was like "Whaaa" when you shot a better group free than hasty slinged and magpodded. That is such a great rifle!
Truly enjoy your work, you go where no one else really goes, and do it with a sense of humor....thanks 👍👍
It's a pretty nice little doodad, and is still fairly light with a, red dot, bipod, light, forward grip, sling mounts, m-lok rail, and sour skittles.

That’s 20 shots at 328 yards from 4 different suppor styles all within a 24 inch ring? That’s not bad at all.
That's about 8moa isn't it?

Are you sure the difference is all flex and nothing to do with the fact that POI will be different in different positions anyway?

Mirrors my experience. Group opens up a bit from heat (2moa to 4moa I observed), but center of group remains the same
I’m sure the Bushmaster is sitting all sad and neglected in the corner now…

Where is GGG ammunition made? Love the Hawaiian sling.
I believe they are Lithuanian, so yeah probably a bit busy at the moment.

Definitely a good rifle, and not too shabby of a shooter either bloke!
love the sling
It goes well with poi, but reduced salt Spam is indicated
Id like to see an Elcan scope on your rifle, may shrink your groups!
“Bog-Standard” ammo?
Is that what we Americans would call “Plain-Jane” ammo?

What country are you from? And how do you get such weapons as a M16 A1? Are they legal there, or are you like specially liscensed?
He means a European market Colt 601 which is _essentially_ a civilianized version of the M16A1. As for where he lives, he lives in Switzerland.
It's actually a genuine m16a1 blocked down to semi. Apparently you can convert them since the new law of 2019 without any further licenses than usual.

What about suppressed vs unsuppressed?
Gonna shoot much lower with a suppressor. I don't own a suppressor though and have no plans to get one.

Are you allowed suppressors?
Question I have about the WWSD2020 is the effect of the weight of the can on the pencil barrel, especially if shooting sideways under a baracade etc.
I feel like both Karl (inrange) and Russel Phagan (sinistralrifleman) have done tests that do show POE shift, but not a widening in dispertion.
Yes, we can have suppressors in Canton Bern, but I don't have a need for them so don't want to spend the monies :)
@@BlokeontheRange Switzerland is such a civilised place.
You heard the man, become Patreons so he can afford a better looking sling. 😉
What a lazer beam.
Just a point as a old firearms instructor , falling groups normally signify lazy elbows ,, just an observation, but good shooting though 👍
I think you got something caught on your rifle...
Cool
Mount it in a gun vice and test for dispersjon that should give you a good indication how good the gun is.
The question in this case is how much will it shift from different holds.

Except that your pressure is on the wrong end to actually fulcrum the barrel since it’s connected near the chamber, not at the end where the bipod is. Any pressure you put out there is negligible at best.
My AR's show the greatest dispersion between the first and second shots, why is that
On many rifles a cold bore shot can be out of the group.
So, a free-floated 2020's production pencil barrel shoots more accurately than an a not free-floated1980s era production pencil barrel? Umm, yes?
I don't know about you, but I was curious about just how much.
The stress relief on the barrel makes a difference
Isn't it a misnomer to say that the barrel is free floated given that the gas tube is attached to the gas block which is attached to the barrel and the gas tube goes into the gas key on the carrier group? So in actuality only the handguard that is free floated?
