1,000yds? Only 1,000yds? I thought those multi-shot, lead spewing assault guns were good out to 5 miles.
And quite frankly, if I were taking pot shots at anything nuclear, I'd want to be 5 miles out.
A side note on what misinformation, rampant in the ignorant masses, can do:
The owner of a local area range, after many meetings trying to educate folks, finally volunteered (to avoid a costly court battle) to stop allowing .50 caliber rifles on his range because there was a group of "concerned citizens" who hired a lawyer to "stop people from shooting those "deadly 10,000 yard rifles" near their homes........

His lawyer told him he could probably win the case, but it would cost him a lot of money.....and since there were only a couple of guys with the .50's, he relented.
As the saying goes: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
