How easily should you hit a moving target? - Page 8

Just said 50% cuz I think its a bit hard to really get specific number for something that relies on a lot

50% maybe a bit more... meh. How fast its moving, direction, etc etc.

I was able to hit 46/50 moving targets with an M16A4. Targets were 75m-300m and moved at various speeds ranging from jogging to sprinting.

After running a mile in in my IBA, ACH, and equipment with rifle (to simulate combat fatigue) I still hit 39/50.

Well, i put 50% actual hits. This of course is depending on if one has the skill to hit a moving target from that distance. If a new comer to PR tries to hit such a target, less chance. But for the experienced, it should be much easier. In the end, the target probably shouldn't live to see the other side of the road, or at least not for long. But, having made these shots a lot myself, I know that even a well aimed shot doesn't mean the bullet will always hit.

Scopes help, but with practice iron sights shouldn't be too big of a deal if the target is in an open enough space for you to reset your aim after each shot. Gotta love those crazy hail-mary first-shot headshots from 200+ meters on moving targets though.

If its % to hit at all I'd think any real soldier would be able to hit a moving target at 100m with at least one of the 30 rounds in his M16. If we're talking about per bullet % then I wouldn't know. Probably somewhere in the 30 to 50% range.

100m away and he's running perpendicular, you can pretty much aim at the target and it will hit him so 100%. In any case the bullet would reach his body in about 1/10th of a second, and he would need to be running inhumanly fast for there to be any lead involved.

Was that with or without your instructor shooting at you?

Can't simulate these kinda things...

True, but if there was just some guy running away I know I would be able to hit him pretty good

75% simply because that's the closest option to almost always. It wouldn't be 100% but 3 out of 4 seems pretty solid to me
