[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 389811, member: 4191"] Taking out the machine gun is along the lines of the story that crops up at the local gun shops every now and then. "I once shot a deer at ~1 mile. Just aimed at the hairs on the top of the back. DRT!" Well I suppose anything is possible. Maybe this deer hunter was in a helicopter and the deer was exactly 1-mile directly beneath him... he simply failed to include the details. And maybe that deer hunter is the author of this article covering the 2700 yd hit that took out the machine gun... And maybe one of those two Taliban thought his partner had thrown a rock at him, resulting in an argument which ended with each shooting the other - all while the sniper was shooting at them. They'd never hear the incoming 338 Lapua shots from a distance of 2700 yds. Not even a sonic crack at that yardage. And it's always possible one of the Taliban was a poor shot and happened to richochet a round off the machine gun - which killed his partner... I really really really want to believe, because this is a feel-good story. Maybe Santa Claus IS real... [/QUOTE]
