Nice find, i've done 39 / 0 with the l96a1 but I think the 900 yard shot is nigh on impossible in this game going on that the record [set by dbss] is currently at approximately 560m=OBS= EstebanRey wrote:

Anyone reckon they can match this? 39 kills, 0 deaths with the L96A1 (or the 900 yard wondershot)
What the fuck asshole. If you don't have anything posative to contribute stfu. Yea i liked the part about aiming so many yards to the right and high to account for the bullet drop.RichyCizzo wrote:

It's insane. That's what I reckon. I wonder what they said to each other right before he took the shot.=OBS= EstebanRey wrote:

The bullet’s trajectory was calculated by his spotter after he studied the movement of dust in the breeze."
Luck or skill d'reckon?
Imagine putting your head behind a sniper rifle going off... you'd get knocked out by the recoil ^^ThomasMorgan wrote:

Id say that is a trained sniper/scout team, with a tad of luck, but they are trained for that stuff, so Im saying it was skill lol=OBS= EstebanRey wrote:

For that much wind? Any good shot should tell you: a little of the first and a lot of the second. Just knowing where to aim to get the bullet to land on target is most of it; the rifle and ammo take care of the bulk of the remainder; how to squeeeeze off the shot is most of what's left and luck accounts for the last little bit.=OBS= EstebanRey wrote:

If you read the chapter on ballistics of the US Army Sniper Field Manual - it's insane what they consider before taking the shot.Height,humidity,wind,etc...
wow... you.. you actually experienced it first hand? I can only begin to imagine what it was like.. death and violence in real life really does get to me..HellHead wrote:
I wish some of you guys would have had the experience of facing somebody eye to eye, who really killed another soldier with a sniper rifle. Who really saw the head of another human being exploding in their scope.
I bet you would talk a bit differently and less lightheaded about something serious like this. Something I will never forget when I made that experience. I never saw human eyes with that much coldness and death in them.
Normally I don´t add stuff like this here, but this thread is based on a true story.
Sorry for spoiling your fun.
