[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 118254, member: 483"] Jesus Christ that's badass! Can you imagine the terror going through the heads of the insurgents??? You've got 50 cal rounds coming in from so far away that you can't even see where they're coming from! And they're so accurate that no one is ****ing escaping alive! How do you fight something like that? Basically, it's like God raining down bullets. As a side note, if ya'll ever want a great read about snipers in Vietnam you should read Marine Sniper: [url=http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Marine-Sniper/Charles-Henderson/e/9780425103555/?itm=3]http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Marine-Sniper/Charles-Henderson/e/9780425103555/?itm=3[/url] It's about Carlos Hathcock, the most successful Marine Sniper ever with 93 confirmed kills. My dad was a Marine Sniper in the same war at the same time with 29 confirmed kills and its amazing what these guys did and went through for their country and families. Hathcock's true stories are the basis for many scenarios that you've seen in tons of fictional movies. I don't want to give away the ending but suffice it to say that Hathcock ended his military career even more heroically than he acted during it. Its a short book with big print and I read it in a day and its one of the best books I've ever read. J. J. Edit: Hathcock was also the one responsible for first using the 50-cal as a sniper weapon. Until that time it was exclusively an antitank / vehicle gun and everyone thought he was crazy to try to snipe with it.
