  • A 30.06 from roughly 150 yards away, from the front… would have zero chance of embedding itself into a collar bone.

    It would detonate it, shatter it, blow it apart.

    A 30.06 from 500 yards away will shatter the femur of a moose… there’s an order of magnitude more kinetic energy in a 30.06 than a 5.56 round.

    So, knowing nothing about 5.56 rounds but having shot a .30-06 at moose/deer/elk: in the 100-200 yard range the bullet will break a rib, travel through the lungs/heart/etc and then often exit the other side on a smaller animal (deer), or be sitting just inside the hide of a larger one (elk/moose).

    I have no opinions on the rest of it that’s just been my experience.













  • I’ve come across these Craighill design videos on YouTube from time to time, and they’re often interesting from a design analysis perspective but then a bit pretentious when they come up with their solutions, often coming up with a solution in search of a problem.

    This one is especially funny since there are already pens that use this type of clip so not only are they not inventing the clip since they’re borrowing it from carabiners, they aren’t even using it in a unique way.
