[QUOTE="Johnslam, post: 1596883, member: 108621"] member: 96764"]Yeah, another item to throw into the mix beyond bullet weight. Another fact that will drive this crowd wild...the average distance of a kill is much, much closer than any technology that exists. The number of kills at extreme long range is infinitesimally small. Everyone likes the idea of reaching out....but enemies have this nasty habit or moving around....a perfectly winded, doped and executed shot at beyond 1000 yards misses because the target suddenly gets the urge to swat a fly, tie his shoe, or trip on a rock. Take a look at stats from wars...kills at less than 100 yards are the norm. Want to prove it to yourself? spend a few hours playing a simulation. Even on a vid game...where your life is not actually on the line...you will control your perimeter, you will make the kills at 30 to 100 yards 100x more often than you will at 600 to 1000. Again, this is simply on a vid game....you can take all the time in the world and use perfect technology for aiming....any your average shot distance will still come in at less than 100 yards average when you are playing as the dedicated sniper.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure the typical engagement distance in Afghan is 400 + meters.
