Allah can't save you from Marine snipers from TEXAS.

Marine Bump!

Does anyone know if a mere civilian can get that type of rifle? I imagine that set up (rifle, scope) is expensive.

Like the t-shirt says..."U.S. Snipers -- Making Martyrs At A Thousand Yards." I love it.

One of my customers recently described an event in Baghdad where his son, a Navy Seal, shot and killed an enemy sniper who had been harassing our troops with a 1036 yard shot.

Awesome Alabama boy bump.

Extreme accuracy bump!

I love reading these stories about the success our snipers are having.

The enemy pays rewards for killing our snipers so putting personal information out there is questionable...but I dont know how to go about properly censoring the article when posting here..?


and for you Tortenboxer...you are an idiot.

"From the information we have, our chief scout sniper has the longest confirmed kill in Iraq so far," said Capt. Shayne McGinty, weapons platoon commander for "Bravo" Co. "In Fallujah there were some bad guys firing mortars at us and he took them out from more than 1,000 yards."

Now that's gun control.

Bang Bump!

This just gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

"After we had called in indirect fire and after all the adjustments from our mortars, I got the final 8-digit grid coordinates for the enemy mortar position, looked at our own position using GPS and figured out the distance to the targets we dropped to be 1,050 yards," said Flowers with a grin. "This time we were killing terrorism from more than 1,000 yards."

Why have these men not been issued Laser Rangefinders?

Do they need them?
No.

Would they improve their kill ratio?
Yes, and make their lives easier.

We got the splash and there were two standing up looking right at us. One had a black (outfit) on. I shot and he dropped. Right in front of him another got up on his knees looking to try and find out where we were so I dropped him too

Ahh, it does the heart good.

May God protect our fighting men and women in Iraq.

[Beckwith]

To all the folks posting the full names and home addresses of these great guys, think!

There's plenty of islamic whackjobs in The States who just might drive up to the front door of their homes and kill whomever is in the house.

[eureka!]

nice shot bump....

My Rifle (The Creed of a United States Marine)

This is my rifle.
There are many like it, but this one is MINE.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My rifle without me is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless.
I must fire my rifle true.
I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me.
I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...
My rifle and myself know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire,
the noise of our bursts, nor the smoke we make.
We know it is the hits that count. We will hit...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life.
Thus, I will learn it as a brother.
I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories,
its sights, and its barrel.
I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage.
I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.
We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God I swear this creed.
My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country.
We are the masters of our enemy.
We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until there is no enemy, but PEACE. -- Maj Gen WH Rupertus
