From wikipedia
U.S. Navy SEAL snipers, reportedly from the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group,[25] on the Bainbridge's fantail opened fire and killed the three pirates remaining in the lifeboat with a simultaneous volley of three shots. The SEALs had arrived Friday afternoon after being parachuted into the water near the Halyburton, which later joined with the Bainbridge.[8] At the time, the Bainbridge had the lifeboat under tow, approximately 25 to 30 yards astern.[26]

Wow pays to do your research eh. For some reason I recalled the distance as 800y - but it looks like I got that one completely wrong sorry.

its meaningful Gimp as it creates debate and knowledge about different sides of the fence - others have a keen interest in many aspects of the shooting art .

30yds, 800yds, close enough. Either is long range to a North Island bush hunter!

mistakes , Chinese whispers and exaggerations are what many legends are made of

similar for ammo, safety video

SAAMI - Sporting Ammunition and the Fire Fighter - YouTube

No wonder they have an ammo shortage if they do that with it!

I'd like to see the avg. time for the best and worst of snipers vs. shooters on a 2.4km run ...

Pointless study, especially considering any fat prick can shoot targets and possibly achieve high honours.
With a 1% pass rate in the NZ Army and low pass rates throughout most Nato forces, not everyone can be a sniper. Shooting is at most 10% of the job. I bet no moving targets were shot in the test.
I would have thought field firing in some testing conditions would be included to make the results accurate across the board.

something few shooters do shoot movers at distance!! 2.4 run with kit -id get a bus!! remember these snipers are pretty young guys -early twenty's to mid one thinks so a healthy civvy who is active would compete with practice in the run at least

still stroking your ego I see.well fuck a 2.5 run with kit.try full tack for two weeks covering in excess of 50km of ground on foot will staying undetected and actually completing your tasks.no???? to fucking hard??? but civis can use quads you say??.give me a break with this pussy shit fight, targets shooters are excellent target shooters.snipers train to kill and do it excellently!!!.

what are you reading neckshot?the thread isnt about athleticism but pure shooting ability although it has wandered .I dont think anyone's trying to steal your mojo either just bantering about shooting .

Shame you were not around for the surprise battalion birthday Neckshot. One C.O bet the other that, his battalion could out walk the other. We all got to walk 134km in 36 hrs in FSMO to win a bet for the boss. I actually got/felt shitfaced on 1 can of beer after that wee jaunt. Never used to get blisters but I ended up with 18 between both feet.
