[quote=GRIZ326,261152]Being a sniper is a complex skill, it is not simply being a good shot. According to the Wikipedia: "The longest range recorded for sniper kill is 2,430 metres (2,657 yd), accomplished by a Canadian sniper, Corporal Rob Furlong, during the invasion of Afghanistan, using a .50 caliber BMG (12.7 mm) McMillan TAC-50 bolt-action rifle. This meant that the bullet had a flight time of ≈ 4.5 seconds, and a drop of ≈ 70 meters (230 ft). The previous record was held by US Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock, achieved during the Vietnam War, at a distance of 2,250 metres (2,461 yd)." I shoot regularly and consider myself accurate to only 250 yards with a rifle; anyone who can shoot those distances not only has great training but remarkable skill.[/quote]
