Here is some video of a Blackwater sniper in action during the Mehdi revolt in Najaf, Iraq. It was called a “target rich environment”, and if he was an average marksman, you can figure about 1 in 4 shots fired hit an enemy (in the open). In that he was a former Marine sniper, probably a little over 1 in 2.
Do a count of how many bullets he fired. Do the math.
