Why would Momiji need a scope?

Its probably just there because the artist likes guns and didn't want to draw a rile without a scope. That or the artist doesn't know what momijis power is.

Without a scope, Momiji can tell to the millimeter how much she missed by. With a scope she won't miss in the first place.

Eyesight isn't a gun sight.

She would still need to account for wind velocity and trajectory along with gravitational pull depending upon the distance. Given that an M14 made for sniping has a range of about 1.5 miles of absolute accuracy and can reach up to and limited to 14 miles from a vantage point but will be as accurate as shooting an ant in a barrel from a mile using a 9mm. The sex definitely does not help with the calculation of a trajectory for the body of the target giving less than .01% chance of a lethal hit.

Even if the scope's magnification weren't useful, the ranging indicators might be.

100% of this is baseless conjecture.

2400 meters of "absolute accuracy"? With a self-loading .308? Seriously?

I think we're all forgetting a little something here...

That isn't a self loading .308 due to the length of the barrel, the length of the clip, and the type of muzzle. The clip is not wide enough for a .308 with the bullet and the casing. So you have any better ideas what the gun is since you say the tags are wrong?

I had to sit here and stare for a while at what I just read.

Please return to Call of Duty and don't come back.

Nice assumption there. You obviously don't read and need to get your eyes checked.

Considering that the longest recorded kill was at roughly 2.5 kilometers, I'm siding with GAU-8/A on this one.

You said it would fire perfectly straight for over a nautical mile. The M14 is an assault rifle/DMR, and it'd probably reach out a mile or so if you were a trained sharpshooter. In fact, most .308 rifles only fire to about a mile at best. Couple that with windage, curvature of the earth, and ambient temperature and most people would have trouble shooting maybe even a quarter mile outside of perfect conditions.

That rifle, according to every visible visual characteristic, is without question a self-loading .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO M14, or one of its extremely closely related variants (M21/M1A/Type 57) that are completely indistinguishable from it at this angle.

The length of the barrel and type of muzzle device, both of which are spot on for an M14, have absolutely nothing to do with whether a given small arm is self-loading or chambered in .308/7.62 NATO, both of which the M14 is.

The M14 is fed from a detachable box magazine, not a clip. (While stripper clips are available for it, their use here would be completely prevented by the optic and mount.) In the picture, only one side of the magazine is partially visible, meaning speculation on its size is absolutely baseless, even disregarding the fact that there is no reason for the magazine, inserted in an M14, to be anything other than an M14 magazine.

A 7.62x51mm DMR has an effective range of 800m up to about 1000m. 1.5 miles (2640 yards) of "absolute accuracy" is laughable, not that a mile is even a useful unit of measure while shooting in the first place. A killing shot at 2640 yards would be the third-longest by a sniper in history, only 67 yards short of #1 and 17 of #2, both of which were scored with multiple shots (~10 and 3) under excellent atmospheric conditions with rounds far more optimized for extreme ranges (.338 Lapua and .50 BMG).

Edited for tone and information I wasn't sure about. Also, for those interested, the longest killing shot with 7.62x51/.308 was at 1367 yards.

This could be Momiji's brother perhaps?

When you come back to a comment you made a long time ago, and realize how full of crap you were, just to get someone who was spectacularly more so out of the limelight...

Hahaha, anyone else notice that Aya is about to have one hell of a perforated eardrum? Also, her face is right agaist the ejection port.
I hear deafness and second degree burns go great with sex!

I don't mean to be late to the party; but, isn't that a terrible way to hold the rifle if she intends to fire it? The base of the stock is draped over her shoulder and the trigger guard is right up against her collar. Imagine the angle her right arm is making just to reach the trigger. It's probably spatially accurate against the length of the barrel but that's little comfort for a hurt shoulder.

Danbooru is the true philosopher's stone of the internet. An..uhhhh,..-awe inspiring pic would matterialize many a discussion which is really amusing,..of how little it is related
btw,
MEINN GOTT!
Which army taught you to 'bang' a bitch, while steadying your aim???!

I don't think she's focused on that right now...
