They hadn't had the benefit of the interweb thingie & pcs back in Vietnam.

And they were deprived of cat memes

I thought so.

And a good example why, as a sniper, you should never make more than 2 shots from the same location.

Anyone on Battlefield knows that even n00bs, you'd think real snipers would....

Presumably because they are not putting themselves in the line of fire and going "eye to eye" with the enemy?

yes they should dress up in red and march slowly towards the enemy maybe with a feathered cap whilst the officers stay out of range.

much more sporting 'what ho'

Next time Charlie opened up, so did the field gun.

End of Charlie.

quite clever

Why is posting/using snipers in any way cowardly?

Yes, I thought it was good, but not great. Kyle isn't a coward. Nor does he revel in shooting people. In fact quite the opposite (according to the film).

The act of posting snipers may be cowardly - doesn't mean the individual is.

I was tempted on Saturday, but decided to wait until the dvd comes down to £3.

Im waiting to pick it up at a charity shop for £0.99

Has anyone actually seen the film yet?

Interestingly, the record for the longest confirmed sniper kill is held by a British soldier.

If you follow the link, have a look at the image of what he would have seen through his rangefinder, bottom right.

I was thinking fox or maybe roe deer, but black bear and caribou are pretty rare in Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire.

'Nation's pride' written all over it -

Fascism, is it possible it's raising its ugly head again without anyone realising? Current levels of apathy and indebtedness are providing the perfect breeding ground.

Stone me.

Must have had stones to cope with that at 8.

Lots of US kids get quite large calibre rifles at a young age, you can buy reduced load cartridges, or load your own, so a 30 - 06 will recoil just a bit more than a .22 lr. It will still be quite effective on small/medium game though as it will weigh more than a .22 lr rifle.
