Hakkaa Päälle* can also be less formally translated as
hack them and stack them....
FWIW, I remain a fan of the old *obsolete* Lahti L39 20mm AT rifle, known to Finnish troops as the Norsupyssy

A mile and a half. You da man, Ronnie. We're going to need a longer range...and some bigger backstops.

Historically, long range shooting has been a highly technical endeavor in which the shooter had to make a number of calculations before the trigger could be pulled. These calculations included range to the target, the effects of barometric pressure and air temperature, and the type of ammunition loaded. BORS automatically calculates all these variables, and adjusts the sight reticule accordingly. Sweet.

Kudos to Barrett... that's one way of sidestepping the ban on .50BMG firearms - go BIGGER!

There's a similar writeup from an issue of The Shotgun News of a couple of issues back, and if I can find a text copy, I'll post it here by way of being comprehensive.
