Agreed, but would you still get credit for the kill? Remember, it only counts if the death results by direct action of the sniper.

Personally, I would drop back to the tactics the Vietcong used. Wound a guy, leave him screaming, and then when his buddies come.......

I hope they are doing exactly that. A shot to the kneecap ought to get them screaming. And then pick off the rest when they come to drag him off.

This young Marine says (in the less severely edited version in the LAT) that he uses a similar approach. He lets a wounded target scream for a while to demoralize his comrades before using a second shot. (It sounds like the brave Jihadis don't try to drag their fallen comrades to safety.)

Now that's funny.
At last reports, Red Crescent ambulances seen headed towards some dead sandmaggots stopped, picked up the weapons and left the bodies to rot.
So, no; that tactic won't work.
