Necmi Güngör, rifle is accurate in terms of shooting 0.3 MOA groups at up to 100 meters range according to MKEK tests.[1][4] Picatinny rails are provided on the forend and on the upper receiver. The rifle also has an adjustable buttstock.[5]

gollark: Evolutionary fitness is also not the same as physical fitness.
gollark: That's plausible I guess, but it's possible that many of those could have been avoided (and your definition would count this as "fitness", even). I'm pretty sure it's still less common than, well, other day to day bad things.
gollark: Are those *common*? I don't think I know anyone who's actually experienced any of those. Except maybe animals, very broadly.
gollark: I mean, most common bad situations are going to be along the lines of "someone was rude to me at work" or "my car broke down", not "I must run away from a thing very fast" or "I have to lift a several hundred kilogram object for some reason".
gollark: That definition seems pretty orthogonal to actual common meanings.
