#1 I truly wonder what US military sniper assets are at this point. With such a huge increase in recruitment, raw talent combined with, shall we say, extensive experience, and top notch equipment, you're going to have a lethal legion of individual killers of astounding capability.

Think of it in terms of conventional forces. A single sniper can prevent a major military movement or even a garrison, if he has complex terrain. This was why major US bases in Iraq had to have a 5 mile deep KZ surrounding them. Granted, that worked, but it is rare when anyone has that luxury.

Still no .338 rifles.
