my friend made a pneumatic sniper and took a muzzleloader bullet and shot an apple from about 130 yards away. I was freaking out when he did it. lol

130 <i>yards</i>? Considering an apple is about 3", that's like 2.5 MOA.
I doubt he could even aim that well with a scope, much less the common lack of sights on our launchers (or crude iron sights).
Furthermore; the projectile was probably tumbling, the barrel isn't that stiff, the tollerances are going to be crappy, and a back-of-envelope calculation indicates that he'd have to aim more than 4' high.
130 feet is much more likely - only 5" high, and 7.5 MOA... verging on beliavabel.

I'm 15.25 years old.
seriously?? i totally thought you were way older than that... not that there's anything wrong with being 15! that's cool that so many people around my age (19) are into spudding... i thought it was mostly older guys (25+) anyways, sorry for this useless post... just a little blown away.
