"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."

GOOD HUNTING!

well-trained Marines could be some of the deadliest weapons in the world.

Should read "well-trained Marines are the deadliest weapons in the world."

this is there basic philosophy so why should a journalist sneer at the philosophy.

Where's that picture of Bush about to throw the football while pointing. Time to throw the ball and take the enemy out!

It would be interesting to know more about the rifle that's being used, and the bullet and load, but I suspect it's classified.

Those shows on the Discovery Channel talk about the equipment snipers use. I think the show was actually called "Sniper" or "Military Sniper" or something. They went in depth. Cool stuff.

Riggs: "When I was 19, I did a guy in Laos with a rifle shot at a thousand yards in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could have made that shot. It's the only thing I was ever good at... "

"The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool; it is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong, you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead Marines and then you will be in a world of shit because Marines are not allowed to die without permission; you are government property!"

M40A4 sniper rifle, not much difference

Martin could be pointing at a target, but it's obvious that Roger's gun is not on his target, but his finger is on the trigger. He's not even looking in the same direction as the muzzle of his gun!

Stupid Hollywood.

I HATE THAT!!!
