| Re: sniper in Afghanistan Ok, not to be insensitive about this but did they hit the guy with a .50 cal Barrett sniper rifle? Anyone care to comment? | |||||||||||||

| Re: sniper in Afghanistan .50 cal is a nasty round when deployed against people. Looks like they're using a very large calibre weapon at extended ranges. I wonder at what range they're hitting, and with what weapon/ammo combo. That Barrett is an awesome weapon, cabable of hitting up to 1800 yards I've read. | |||||||||||||

| Re: sniper in Afghanistan Those poor bunnies! I just don't think they should be shooting rabbits for sport (unless they're in Austrailia, of course). Fake! (Look closely) | |||||||||||||

| Re: Sniper in Afghanistan I can't see it here at work (blocked). But if its the video I suspect it is, then yes the sniper is using a.50 cal sniper rifle. Will confirm later at home. - Shawn | |||||||||||||

| Re: sniper in Afghanistan Judging by the severe impact I'm guessing that is a .50 round. Considering the damage they did to FW-190s, ME-109s, and Zeros it's not surprising. The movie 'The Shooter' starring Mark Whalberg is well worth a look as he uses a .50 for long range sniping. Based on the book by Stephen Hunter it is very realistic, and and does indulge in the normal Hollywood nonsense regarding shooting. | |||||||||||||
