Snipers are poo hot!

If you want to read a good book, then read, "One shot, One kill: The Carlos Hathcock Story!"

Not even the Mythbusters were able to recreate Carlos' shot through the scope of an enemy sniper!

"One shot, one Kill" is their moto. I always thought it should be, "When you want to reach out and kill someone!"

I hope they award him the Victoria Cross for that!

I've read that book, and it is great.

The my favorite is "Don't Run. You'll only die tired."

Sweet. I saw an interview with the Canadian sniper who held the previous mark, and even he said that at ranges like that, even with all your training, you're really just trying to place the round within 3 feet of the target and a direct hit is pretty much luck in anything but perfect conditions. Any little gust or even difference in atmospheric pressure will send that bullet way off mark.

Doing it twice is damn impressive though.

Apparently the curvature of the earth comes into play at that distance :eek:
