    Trident, This kind of thing is not unique to this board. You'll find that there are pricks everywhere. Hang in man.

    I think members should realize that not everyone enjoys the same type / style of shooting an AR and derive different things from it. Even though the AR was designed as a battle rifle for military / LE purposes, there is a hell of alot of fun that can be had with them besides that.

    I hope my outburst in your other thread is not contributing to what your're thinking now. If I remember right, I apologized in advance for it and do so again now. I lost my temper then, and hindsight being what it is, I was wrong in posting it. It's gone now. However, I meant every word of it. Most internet commandos would not say the things they do when talking to someone FTF.

    Keep doing what you do and let us all know about it.

    Oh, if he had that power, there wouldn't be but 4 people on this board.

    Trident, I commend you on several things. Your attention to quality equipment, your long range shooting skills and your love and devotion to the AR platform and how it can be adapted to any shooting distance. I never shot further than 100 yards and never shot steel with my ARs. Keep up the great work! Your posts are informative and i'd rather see pics or videos of members shooting than propping their $1000.00+ rifle on their workbench.

    Thanks for the videos, Trident. Good stuff for a relative AR newb like me.
    This isn't an illegal gun, it's an "undocumented protection device". Don't be so insensitive.

    Hey Trident,
    I hope that you decide to stick around. I always enjoyed reading your contributions and appreciated advice which you provided to myself and others here.

    Nice, videos by the way. Like someone else said I plan on ordering one of those steel targets too, a C-note seems pretty reasonable.

    Take it easy,
    SkiDevil

    P.S. If you ever have the chance, maybe you could do something similar out to 500 yards?

    Thanks for the interesting stuff Trident, and the heads up on the target. Think I'll pick one up!

    Boss Hogg, while working for HK and teaching at several ranges with more then a few different types of steel (Action Target, Porta Target, Arntzen, Salute, Larue, just to name some of the ones I can recall) I can tell you I have seen all of them display some damage due to 5.56 edge hits. Some plates display more or less damage then others but I have yet to see one that didn't have at least a small ding from an edge hit. There may be something out there. I have yet to see it.
    There's a difference between pocking and cratering. The pics the OP posted show a crater. I have an AR500 plate on order that I will do some testing on. It comes with a significant endorsement from an SME I trust.
