Nope. Sandbagged M2 "Ma duece" .50 cal. machine gun with a 8X Unertl scope fired single shot. The first shot hit the kid's bicycle front wheel hub and the second hit him in the chest.

If Carlos Hathcock was able to use the modern high speed low drag gear in clear mountain terrain, he'd have done better by a mile....literally.

"Nope. Sandbagged M2 "Ma duece" .50 cal. machine gun with a 8X Unertl scope fired single shot. The first shot hit the kid's bicycle front wheel hub and the second hit him in the chest."
Hatcock shot the kids wheel hub to warn him off, but he got back up and picked up one of the AK-47's he was carrying. Then he shot him with the 1967 .50 cal., not the 50 cal. that the Canadian sniper used that was probably in better shape overall. The best sniper still stands as Carlos Hatcock. 93 confirmed kills Two seperate tours in Vietnam with 93 confirmed kills. " There have been many Marksmen. But there has been only one sniper. " USA all the way!
