"and the concussion alone from a round that passes within a close enough distance can kill."

That true?

1. One Shot
2. One Kill
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until peace occurs.

This is similar to whats happening in Columbia. Above ground pipelines are protected by U.S. weapons & heavy metal. Both U.S. and Columbian soldiers have shot at impoverished peoples puncturing and stealing the spice.

Say, you remember when the taliban honchos were meeting in some remote location in Afghanistan, and somebody in Florida punched a button and zapped them?

Stupid reporters making stupid statements bump.

Hey, TC, fiveshooter has a video he made yesterday of a Barret semi. He said the videos will be on the net in a couple of days. I'll try to let you know when they're there.

"There is so much area to cover that it requires precision fire, we're on call for 24-hours a day and can be airborne within 30 minutes," he said.

Seems reactive. The Bad Guys will be gone by then. Yeah, it is a BIG area but why can't small teams been randomly inserted in areas, stay a few day, pick off a few, and be picked up?

What about drones carrying mini guns? Puree the buggers on site or keep them pinned down until our troops get there?

NOW who wouldn't be willing to order that on pay per view???

Thanks to all snipers. May God bless your eyes, your hands, and your hearts.

Too bad my husband is too old to volunteer. This would be right up his alley! Even at 68 he is a fantastic rifle shot. I can just see him in his camo & hiding in his terrorist blind. tee hee <8~|

Somehow I don't think so.

I have been to the rifle range many times. In the USMC we took turns firing and working in the target butts.

The sound of bullets ripping through the targets overhead was impressive, but did not produce so much as a headache. Granted, a .50 cal would make an even louder noise, but still just a noise. For 'concussion' you need an explosion.

I suspect this reporter does not know which end of the tube the projectile exits. Typical.
