As I reported earlier, snipers have been deployed to Iraq to discourage insurgents from getting within rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) range. This is what happens to insurgents who get too close. I've blurred the gruesome wound suffered by the insurgent.
Insurgent killed by sniper
The snipers were deployed with M-14 rifles which have an effective range of about 800 meters. RPGs are only effective at up to 400-500 meters. I believe this insurgent, however, was actually killed with this weapon:

Barrett "Light Fifty" Model 82A1
The .50 caliber Barrett has an effective range of 1800 meters.
Update: Use of .50 caliber weapons, with their flat trajectory, for sniping was pioneered by Carlos "Whitefeather" Hathcock, the legendary Marine sniper, who never faced murder charges brought by politically correct brasshat REMFs.
Update: The unedited insurgent photo is located here. Don't click on the link if you're even a little bit squeamish

They must have a block on their website probably not allowing them to be reposted. I'M SORRY. Go to the website if you want to see them.

Often websites have a way of preventing you from posting their pics. In those cases you can save the pics to your computer and go to a site like tinypic and upload them, then link to them there instead. Of course there could be copyright issues with that.

I've seen that picture before.It's a darn shame that that should happen to anyone on either side,but their side wants to drag Western civilization back to the 9th Century.
