His First “Sniper” Shot

[Dougie308]

This is just typical.

What happened when I fired my first 'sniper shot'

My shoulder was pressed firmly against the end or “stock” of the rifle, my index finger extended horizontally just above the trigger as I lay flat on the ground and tried to align my right eye directly through the targeting sight -- all as I for the very first time, tried to fire a US military...

I've just lost more IQ points than I can afford.

I lost the target picture and saw only black. This, I understand, is a technical design set up to deliberately ensure the person looking through the scope can only see if he or she is exactly aligned with a straight-ahead view at the target.

Translation: Shitty eye box. ?

It was almost as bad as the missing f35 article link I clicked on the page.

I'm willing to bet he doesn't even know the fucking difference.

"famous sniper rifle used regularly by the US military -- can hit ranges with great precision out to 2,000 meters. My hit was only 200 yards."

 

[Unknown]

At a whole 200 yards? I'm underwhelmed.
