any rifle can be used as a sniper weapon

technically, that 5.56 round is not associated with a 'sniper' rifle

That "one to four miles" stuff is for a .50 cal BMG, I suspect (which isn't the rifle in use by the East coast sniper, but anti-gunners aren't ones to let facts get in the way of a good story). That's the next anti-gun crusade: Los Angeles has alread banned them.

LMAO, Not very many people could even hit a 6' by 6' target at 1 mile regardless of what kind of gun they are shooting. Now the 223 at one mile? One hell of an elevation adjustment, most sights and scopes can't even adjust that far. At that range the 223 would have about just about enough energy left to leave a bruise.

Isn't it funny the guns they keep waving on the news, none have scopes.

Don't real snipers use what is effectively a deer rifle with a scope? Wonder why when real Army snipers can choose anything they want to use. Weird.

The make believe world of conyers is a fascinating world. One mile shots, now that I would like to see. Imagine the drop and windage involved. Think feet.
