MythBusters! Tonight! 01-June-2011
Just got a call from Dave Liwanag (SF Col. Ret.) reminding me to watch Mythbusters tonight.
There will be segment featuring him doing some shooting. 
Some months ago I'd gotten an email from Adam Savage at Mythbusters asking if I might know and military marksman, my reply was "maybe". 
TR, Thanks for introducing me to Dave last December out on the range.
Dave Liwanag currently works here: http://www.deserttacticalarms.com/

Not a bad show,, Not a lot of DAVE??
They were also touting a linear plot for time over distance.
If my math and physics hasn't completely evaporated from the gray cells, that should be a curve. The longer duration the slower the projectile??
Using a ballistic pgm, http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj-5.1.cgi
I think I heard they were shooting a .338 (lapua ??),
so maybe .90 bc, 200 gr, 3340 fps, zero wind, would give:
100yds .091 sec
200yds .186
300yds .284
400yds .386
500yds .492
600yds .601
6 * .091 (100yds)= .546 not .601 seconds
Help a FOG understand??
