Atomic site be damn, the atomic lizard would flatten the place, the Republican Guard would be toe jam!
Ry reports on a new Army sniping record from Afghanistan by a Arfcom member. Awesome!
If you are wondering at all the amazing sniping shots coming out of Afghanistan you aren’t alone. I knew the high altitude would make a difference but I didn’t know exactly how much until I ran some numbers through Modern Ballistics. Below you see the numbers for the .50 BMG shooting a high end bullet/cartridge with a gun zeroed at sea level for 1000 yards at a target at 2300 yards (2100 meters) away for various altitudes. All those things help but still, the shooter and spotter had to be top notch and have a little luck as well. Assuming a target of 18 inches wide and 24 inches tall the altitude difference changed the odds of a hit from about 10% to 20% (not shown).
Good job SnakeaterM24!
2300 yards = 1.3 MILES!
The taliban didn’t even hear the gun, just the thud of the bullet! I bet that made them find a hole and fast!!!
LOL! I think you are right.
