Interesting. I’m wondering what kind of sniper uses an assault rifle... select-fire capability generally does not lend itself to long-range accuracy. Also, what the heck does “high-caliber” mean? Anything .50 or bigger?

I am surprised Obuttranger was going to use a sniper on a safari.

I would have thought he would just shoot lions and zebras from the comfort of an easy chair using drones.

High caliber is anything 0.177 or larger.
Chris Kyle, the 'American Sniper', used select-fire.
As for assault rifles, all sniper rifles are scary to liberals who think cowering and hoping the bad guys don't see you is the best strategy (didn't DHS give that advice in a video?), so all sniper rifles are assault rifles, aren't they?
