M14 Arming Distance?

Floven de Sorezé · 10-17-10, 11:36 AM

Thank you, I actually had the same problem yesterday evening too. When you listen closely you can hear them collide with the boat and then explode some moments later when they touch the ocean floor or have sunk too deep.

I'll take 600 yards as my new minimum then.

If you're not shooting from the hip you should have a good idea of the torpedo run to target.

Pet peeve of mine. This is a M14:

and this is a Mk 14:

Note the differences.

My bad. You are correct. Your first picture isn't showing but I know what an M-14 looks like . I wasn't paying attention to what I was writing.

Most of us hear use M14 because were in a sub forum and know what we're talking about, why that crawls under anyones skin is silly.

Some of us have been in the military and recognize that M14 and Mk 14 are two very different things. Whether or not it crawls under someones skin is no more silly than Sailor Steve and his spelling checks on the forum.
