Russian term

год не пристреливалась

Russian to English Other Military / Defense
Маловероятно, что все они были убиты или ранены из обычной солдатской берданки, которая вся в грязи, год не пристреливалась и ведет неприцельный огонь. Похоже, тут снайпер работал.

Sighting in or zeroing a firearm is the goal of adjusting the sights so the projectile (e.g. bullet or shell) may be placed at a predictable position within the sight picture. The principle is to shift the line of aim so it intersects the parabolic projectile trajectory at a designated point, known as a zero, so the gun will repeatably hit where it aims at the distance of that zero. The iterative procedure involves firing a group of bullets from a cool barrel, adjusting the sights to move the point of impact to the point of aim, and repeating the process until a group is centered on the point of aim.

agree Angela Greenfield : I prefer "sight in" because this is what I normally hear people use, but the other term is correct, too.

sighted

That's what you do with your rifles: you sight them, or sight them in. They don't need to get laid:))))))))

disagree The Misha : Maybe you meant to say the soldier who fired the rifle has not been laid for a year? In a war situation, that wouldn't have been unusual:))))

Not the soldier should get laid this time:)) but the gun needs laying. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laying
neutral Angela Greenfield : OMG, Misha. LOL

I thought there is a difference between "sight in-прицеливаться" and "adjust fire-пристреливаться"? Maybe, I'm wrong.
