anywhere w/ a .50 cal in the torso is a kill

 

Without the details of the ammunition, "kill" would be a debatable term. Kill in the sense that all gunshot wounds if not treated will kill (and the fact i have have a half inch hole in me), definitely; Comparable to a hit on a vital (in between the eyes, neck, heart, or groin area artery), plausible.

wow.

 

i watched a tv interview of an army sniper and it made me laugh. i cant remember the names but here is how it went....

 

tv guy: what do you feel when you look down you scope and pull the trigger on an enemy?

 

sniper: a slight recoil (insert evil grin here)

I'm sure the Hellfire ensured the kill.

Hatchcock was hitting the Vietcong from what? 2500-3000 yards with a mounted .50 M2 back in the 60s?

 

That shit is nuts.

 

I think the book said he had it sighted in at 2300 or 2500, still that's a hell of a distance to be launching a half inch piece of lead from the top of a hill.

I concur. 750gr ammunition should be still be able to hit, and hit hard at that range. Hatchcock was hitting the Vietcong from what? 2500-3000 yards with a mounted .50 M2 back in the 60s?

 

That shit is nuts.

He did it with a 3X redfield scope I believe. His biography was a great read, especially the white feather aspect. Fucking baiting them to hit him :lol: That man had some real balls. But a 2,100 meter kill is extremely impressive non the less. Army snipers > Marine snipers :D

I thought 8x? I'll have to dig up the book and check, but who the hell cares, man is a legend.
