As US forces surged into Iraq in 2003, Chris Kyle was handed a sniper rifle and told to watch as his marine battalion entered an Iraqi town.

Somehow, I think there was a little training involved before Chris was "handed a sniper rifle."

I know several people in my unit who are sniper trainers. I got to shoot their 30 cal sniper rifle a few years ago. Talk about accurate using a 7 power scope. 800 meters and had a 3 - 4" pattern.
