[QUOTE="Wild Monkey, post: 1865792, member: 103097"] #1 Smokeless Powders led to the largest advancements in the last 200 Years. Also of honorable mention are early Springfield 30-06 Hot Loads with M1 Ball targeting well over 1000 Yards, only duplicated by hand-loaders today. Varying Country's and umpteen platforms were at a similar level of technology at the time. The US Army was slow to adopt mainstream Sniper Tech often Exaggerated in Hollywood Movies about Vietnam. Any Conflict produces Propaganda Touting Hero's and accomplishments. IMO there is little accuracy and truths for the average layman. Yet one can read about real Snipers which in reality were rare and accomplished little more than Civil War Era Marksman. The largest hurdle in the Gun Industry "Technology" is shaking out of date Tech. For example Consumers today widely purchase products lackluster in performance compared to many WW1 Cartridges.
