[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1530453, member: 30902"] Having shot a lot of the LR sniper rifles the Military was flieding in the 80's and 90's I have to say you're not just wrong, you're wrong all over here. Often times particularly in country like Afghanistan and Iraq you may be behind the gun for dozens of rounds in a fight and the big boomers beat the hell out of you. That kind of fatigue reduces the effectiveness of the sniper in the field in a hurry. Worse, we often have to work from hides in urban terrain in a small enclosed room shooting through a very small hole across the room. In those cases you're trapped in a small room with all of that muzzle blast and noise and one shot from the Barrett is enough to make your eyes, ears, and nose bleed no matter what kind of hearing protection you're wearing.
