Thread: Ballistic apps

@R93 Is a modest chap and I'll try to translate army speak for those who are not multi lingual.

It actually takes a lot of skill to hit a target that is not in direct line of fire so that the projectiles rain down on it from above (plunging fire) at over 4km away. And hit the target aimed for by sighting on a post 5m away. It took a belt of 200 rounds.
I think his point was, if it takes an accurate machine gun and skilled operator a 200 round burst to get 1 on target. The chances of a single shot at an animal failing is quite high.

I can't take the credit of any skill in this instance. But thanks for getting my drift.
I was on my DFSW cse and took over the gun after it was already marked and recorded by another team. I just confirmed bearings and let rip we were shooting thru screens to simulate a night mission.

The best thing about it was the drive down range to observe the effect of our different DFSW weapons had on fixed positions and simulated formations in open country.
Made you question why I was happy to be a grunt if ever on the other end of it one day.
