[QUOTE="NorthRiverGuide, post: 2632321, member: 124575"] Snipers require bullets with with great external ballistics for what they do. Snipers count on one shot one kill. Once they break the first shot they have possibly compromised their position. The more shots the higher probability they will be detected. Snipers unlike normal soldiers if captured face death or worse because the effects on the battlefield. They need a bullet that will cause massive trauma killing their target anywhere inside the engagement range. Fmj like the normal soldier uses has habits of doing funny stuff in the body. I know a guy who got shot in the shoulder and the bullet ended up in his leg. That’s not uncommon either and people use volume of fire to ensure a kill. Snipers don’t have the same luxury. Sniper tactics have changed a lot too the lone two man team isn’t really used anymore. It’s usually a team of guy’s including security. They will have security around the position while they are sniping. That way if they are discovered they have a change of fighting their way out. They can only shoot from a single place so many times before being discovered. It’s all about the one shot one kill. A lot of it is psychological too on the enemy. If you see the guy next to you drop dead instantly by a single bullet from nowhere it really messes with them. [/QUOTE]
