Texas sniper ping.
One thing is for sure, this guy didn't have me as an instructor. I'm NO good at long range.
Hey, Muhammad, get up.......there's no way that guy can hit you from so far away..
US Marine POINT-FIRED German troops in WW1 at the Battle of Belleau Woods at EIGHT HUNDRED YARDS with OPEN IRON SIGHTS of the M1903 Springfield!
R Lee said it best: "There is nothing more deadly in the world than a Marine and his rifle."
Texans ping. . .
Outstanding.
The Marine said: "Yeah, well come deep."
Must be something with the last name Hancock and great snipers.
Still don't like them giving out snipers names. They don;t give out pilots names. After the ugliness with the skippe of the USS Vincennes, I prefer no last names be given. It's not like the bad guys are not over hear reading the same articles and watching the same news as we are.

"From the information we have, our chief scout sniper has the longest confirmed kill in Iraq so far," said Capt. Shayne McGinty, weapons platoon commander for "Bravo" Co. "In Fallujah there were some bad guys firing mortars at us and he took them out from more than 1,000 yards."
Sgt. Herbert B. Hancock, chief scout sniper, sniper platoon, 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, is credited with the longest confirmed kill in Iraq, hitting enemy terrorists from 1,050 yards in Fallujah Nov. 11, 2004.

Time to make that guy a Staff Sgt. SSgt. Herbert B. Hancock humm, has a nice ring to it, seems to me I kinda remember another guy by that name who was with Kilo 3/6 back in the Sixties, wonder if he is any relation.
Yut!
1,050 yards?
Not bad, not bad at all. NOW GET BACK TO WORK!
The war will be over soon. The biggest contingent of Texas National Guardsmen since WWII left Texas for Iraq the day after Christmas. The city of Waco and their loved ones gave them a huge send-off from the Baylor football stadium. Our Texas men still know how to shoot, and we Texas women aren't bad marksmen ourselves. We'll keep the ranches going and the lights on in the cabins till our men come home victorious.
"Marine Snipers are Pro Choice".
Right in front of him another got up on his knees looking to try and find out where we were so I dropped him too.
Abdul, what happened? This can't be.. thud.
