Mural from Iraq. Lovely lady sporting the ever present AK 47, a widely used and reliable weapon.

Perhaps a bit more of an explosion than what happens in a rifle barrel. Blowing up some captured surface-to-air missles during the push to Baghdad.

Another way to place undue stress on a barrel… and everyone else around you!

MOA (I'd Like Half an MOA, Please)

An important and commonly used acronym in a sniper's vernacular is MOA (minute of angle). What is MOA? Why is a rifle's potential MOA important?

Again, science, or in this case math, rears its ugly head. A minute of angle is a measurement of angular width. A complete circle is divided into 360 degrees. Each degree is further divided into 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds. Therefore one minute is one sixtieth of a degree. If you take that angular measurement from your shooting position it should form a triangle. One line is your direct line of sight (LOS) to the target, the second is a line rising from the muzzle at the one sixtieth of a degree angle, and the third line is the distance from the LOS and the sloping line.
