[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 341714, member: 4191"] I think Dirty Harry defined and used the word consistent with proper English language; [B]Do you feel lucky, punk[/B]? I had no trouble understanding the meaning. I didn't have to look to Webster's dictionary. Talk about splitting hairs. How we've got so many people on tippy toes dancing around the use of the word luck escapes me. My guess is all the troops involved in the incident would agree it took some measure of luck, regardless of the set of skills they brought into play. Drawing a line in the sand here and then defending it to the death over some aspect of luck in these ultra long range shots? Time to lighten up and enjoy the holidays. Luck doesn't mean GG or anyone else cursed the forces or disparaged the sniper(s) that made the kill. Luck is what it is. Not hard to understand. Nothing more. Nothing less. Make the shot 10 out of 10 attempts and I'll negate the luck factor. Make it one out of three, plus then the shooter himself acknowledges that luck played a role? End of story. Now, I hope I get a chance to watch the feature. Especially if they interviewed Carlos Hathcock. I read a book called Marine Sniper once. If only half of what Hathcock was credited with in that book was true, that guy was unreal! [/QUOTE]
