Is it still a BDC, bullet drop compensator, if it's the range feature on iron sights or is BDC just used for a feature in an optic? like sights like an M16a2 or a 1903 springfield or really most military rifles have a zero for elevation and then also some kind of way to adjust the sights for range independent of the elevation zero, like the drum on the A2 rear sight. what would you call that feature?
>>
if you're bad at english you should really stick to asking one question at a time.
>>
>>64551959
There's only one question in the OP. You just suck at reading, retard.
>>
>>64551986
nah thats multiple questions.
>>
>>64552110
What are the questions then? Because it's clearly one question, is the range adjustment found on military iron sights a BDC?
>>
BDC is usually used to refer to reticle features that provide the bullet-drop-compensating function. I'm honestly surprised nobody trademarked it as litigious as the gun industry is.


Your example is an elevation knob with bullet drop compensation. I guess you could therefore say it is a bullet drop compensator, as it is a device set up to compensate for bullet drop.
>>
>>64552146
is it ironsights or a bdc?
is bdc only on optics?
what if its iron sights on a m16a2?
what if its iron sights on a 1903?
do military rifles have a zero for elevation?
do military rifles have a way to adjust sights independent of elevation?
does an a2 drumsight have the ability to adjust sights?
what do you call the a2 sight adjustment?

that is not 1 question
>>
>>64552184
This is what no child left behind does to a zoomer.
You know most of those are statements right? The whole M16a2, 1903 thing was op describing the sights
>>
>>64552210
you are esl with run on sentences.
>>
>>64552219
No, you are just unironically a fucking retard. Did your English class have 2 teachers? You're not a very strong reader. Either you are an esl, or you're a legitimate retard.
>>
An elevation drum/leaf could technically be called a BDC, it compensates for drop by physically raising the point of aim relative to the front sight, so your eye is always on the target (actually front sight) and you're not aiming off into dead air.

The way I see it the term BDC only really applies to optics where you can't or don't dial in the elevation, instead you have a reticle with a bunch of fixed hash marks that indicate drop at a given distance to use as references.
>>
>>64552239
He's right, you are retarded, and so is your question(s). Instead of getting defensive about being retarded (you are) rephrase the question better.
No, iron sight elevetion is not a BDC because BDC is a measured hold over feature calibrated to a certain load at certain velocities that will impact at a measured point at predetermined distances.
You'd know this if you had guns.
>>
>>64552910
you clearly can't read. you're retarded, esl, gay, indian, a tranny, brown, no gunz, a faggot, a gay retard and a jeet.
learn to read.
>>
>>64552910
oh, and do you fucking thing the distance adjustments in military rifles aren't calibrated for bullet drop for a certain load, you fucking no guns retard? what do you think the A2 drum is doing?
>>
>>64552945
I thing the people calling you esl were correct.
>>
>>64553011
it's literally autocorrect, retardo
>>
>>64552945
No, they aren't faggot, I know because I've shot them
>>64552939
>esl turdie mad
>>
>>64555299
you're brown, you live in a brown third world country like yurop, you're retarded, you're esl, you've never shot a gun in your life, you don't know what you are talking about, your uncle molested you and your mom blames you for it, you have no dick and you have no gunz.
you must be literally retarded and no gunz because the A2 sighs have bullet drop compensation for every 100 meters from 300 meters to 800 meters in 1 moa increments with labels for every 100 meters
