For me, its ten shots inside a dime at 50 yards. If my gun won't do that at 50, I don't even bother taking it to 100Y. If you can't do a dime at 50, you'll never do a quarter at 100. And no, slugs don't get "better" from 50 to 100 yards.

What is "lights out" referring to how a gun shoots?

Actually, I have heard of people shooting at the heads of tacks/nail heads at 25-50 yds. That will test both you and your gun!

From the time I could shoot a centerfire rifle, after a range day zeroing our guns at 100 yards, we shot the tacks out of our targets. Then in the 90’s when I came back to my home state, my dad was now using a staple gun. So yes, our guns are staple drivers now. It’s a bad habit because I still do it with my airguns when I have to staple a target to something.

So what I'm hearing you say is, a Quarter at 100 yards and I can get a Team Centercut hat?For me, its ten shots inside a dime at 50 yards. If my gun won't do that at 50, I don't even bother taking it to 100Y. If you can't do a dime at 50, you'll never do a quarter at 100. And no, slugs don't get "better" from 50 to 100 yards.

I think the devices we use like to plug in words to make us look like idiots. What’s even more embarrassing is when you proof read what you wrote and still miss it.

That 'Lights Out' phrase for hunting, naturally migrates to dead-on accuracy, killer targeting and corpse-making-ability.
After
• "knockdown power" (19th cent. Philippine insurrections) and
• "stopping power" (19th cent. colonial troops),
the hobby ballisticians gave us
• "Knock-Out Value (KOV)" (Bekker) and
• "Taylor Knock-Out Factor (TKOF)".
Now we have a new term, thanks to kmanca1: corpse-making-ability (CMA)
I like it.
Tomorrow I'll go to the range, dial up my regulator to 170bar, load the new H&N extra heavy slugs, and practice shooting moa groups until my new compressor overheats. In that way I am certain to increase my CMA.

I actually drove a nail with my FWB300S almost all the way (about 1") but the head broke off before it was all the way in.

Butt wait, order now and get hole in hole, dead on accuracy with little or no wait time
I don't care what you call it! ,"it's all good".
As far as pictures tells the whole story, ever seen how a fisherman holds up his catch way out in front of him,a reason for it
Group size and yardage certainly help,I love it when someone puts up a dime to show the size group.
For us, lights out was and is talking about shooting animals, like dead on the spot.
