Quick Shot Challenge: What’s the dumbest shooting myth you’ve heard?

You don’t even have to hit anyone withe the Ma Duece. The velocity from a .50 will take someone’s head off!
Utah as well
Looking this up though, AI/ searches are dumb. This below only applies to muzzleloaders.
AI can’t count fingers or calibers…
Hence why it's dumb. It knows enough that guns are sized in caliber so it searched caliber which is only listed under muzzleloaders.
For rifle it lists centerfire with expanding bullets. That isn't a caliber.
"You need to plan on upping your dope because the rains gonna push the bullet down". Overheard during a light drizzle at a match last month.
The clerk in a gun store explained to a new shooter that he should grease the bore of his rifle after cleaning it so the bullet will slip through easier. This is not a joke, I was standing near enough to overhear it.

In Texas, one might get away with hunting deer with .22LR. But on public land, it has to be center no smaller than .243 W. So most 6s would be okay and so would 6.5 ManBun. I hunt with either a .308 W or 7 PRC. A colleague hunted big horn sheep with a .300 WM (better for wind holds at a few hundred yards than a .308.)
You can also use, at least on the land managed by the USFS, 12 ga shotgun slug or shot. And archery. Most counties allow crossbows. The only places they are restricted is Grayson, Collin, Dallas, and Rockwall counties. You have to have a doctor's note explaining why you need a crossbow to hunt. No doubt some stupid fudd thinking.

I know I'm late getting to the party, but I had to share this one.
A friend of a friend who was a vet, claimed he trained recruits back in the late 60's on the 20" barrel M16. He swore that in full auto mode, it would fire so fast that the next round up would fire before the one in front of it left the barrel.
You can't make this stuff up.
