why is that blod action sniper lifles are alot more presice than semi-automatic sniper rifles ?!?!?

on both real life and video games!
mike: i know that but videogames are just an small example i know that on real life ther is a diference because with an semi you loss some accuracy not much ! but some and that is enought to compromise your self on warzone !(bad)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA thanks for a good laugh. You must be so good at your video games.
Oh, and for the record, modern machining techniques make the accuracy difference between a quality semi-auto and quality "blod" action very little. The only people who would notice any difference are the F class and bench rest shooters trying to make 2in holes at 1000 yards.
Gregg is right-est.
Oh, and Gregg, Im pretty sure you could butcher anything you like with all the damn guns and pointy things you have.

Bolt action firearms of any kind are not inherently more accurate than semi-automatic firearms. Any of the two, fired with correct sighting and handling will place the round just as well.
The inaccuracy is in the shooter more times than with the firearms.

And…. Mike is absolutely right.
No Mike… you’re more right-er!

well video games have in part caused a misconception that they are more accurate because what would it be like a 100% accurate semi auto they could spray everywhere so game designers have to balance the weapons out
but in real life they are in part more accurate because of tighter tolerances then semi autos due to the fact that the operator is moving the action and is less likely to be jammed while usually semi autos use a gas operated rotating bolt or roller delayed action blowback in the case of the psg-1. the gas can make parts expand which can increase friction and more likely cause a jam
you may ask then why dont all guns have extremely loose tolerances? well 1 gun does its the ak47 which is known for is reliability. but although not proven with hard evidence since their are loose tolerances there is more of a chance of parts moving around and the gun may not be in the exact same position as i was before from moved around parts and therefore the shots may not all be constant and may loose accuracy
and not all semi autos are inaccurate the h&k psg1 is said to be able to shoot sub moa. and im not sure about the m110(ar10 in disguise) future weapons says its accurate but i never believe future weapons because they over dramatize everything

The only true advantage the bolt has over semi auto is a little more power so the bullet shoots a little falter at longer ranges, and the shooter can reject the round/spent case when he wants to letting him stay better concealed. The semi auto looses about 3 to 5% of its power when working the action in gas ex-scape. Also the bolt action is a more simpler action to maintain, keep CLEAN, and can take heavier loadings in most cases.
This is why some countries use strait pull bolts in sniper rifles: REDUCED MOVEMENT!

With your first shot, both styles can have more or less equal accuracy. The main reason for using bolt action rifles over semi-automatic is that a bolt action recoil is basically directly backward. A semi-automatic, using gas to recycle and chamber another round will have more jump, thus throwing off your aim, requiring more resighting than the bolt action. The bolt action is also very reliable and difficult to jam, even if you have a bad cartridge.
However, very well trained defensive snipers will often employ semi-automatic rifles because their accuracy does not always require a direct and perfect head shot, when speed of action is more important, a speed that can be delivered by a semi-automatic weapon.

Tighter tolerances, lugs actually lock completely, and bolt actions typically sit on more precision firearms. Bolt actions are not always more accurate than semiautos but when of equal quality bolt actions have the edge.

The bottom line on whether there is an accuracy difference between blod, er bolt action and semi-auto, is how clean is the chamber, which is usually dependent on whether one has a proper-fitting chamber brush, a good solvent, and proper technique. Note that some folk never clean their chambers at all!
Your semi-auto chambers are looser, to prevent jams. The semi-auto chambers are also made very free of any surface features which would slow full insertion of a cartridge or it’s ejection. All this is intended to allow the firing pin to jam the cartridge all the way into the chamber BEFORE it fires, to align the bullet well with the bore, a primary intrinsication of accuracy.
In equally grungy guns, a blod……. ahem, bolt action has a better chance of accuracy. But in clean guns, it’s a race of other variables.

because on semi autos, some of the gasses from the bullet have to go back to push the bolt back and cycle another round, on bolt actions, the gasses just go straight forward propelling the bullet faster and making it more accurate

Mike’s got it right. man never seen bolt misspelled so badly
