| Notice the Gun Trucks copula is clean at beginning of video and about 3/4 through it has taken a sniper round in the right forward glass. |

| #5 At the start of the Civil War 150 yards was considered long distance for snipers. Mr. Sharps introduced his rifle and the distance increased to 500 yards. Then Mr. Whitworth introduced his rifle and Confederate snipers were hitting Union Officers at 800 yards. 800 yards is long even by today's standards. |

| #3 Before the Surge, indulgence of sales of Sniper-snuff videos was thought to somehow promote peace and security. Internet copies are distributed widely among Muslims. A New Jersey Muslim has been uploading these for years, with absolute impunity. On the bright side, the best US snipers are routinely killing the enemy from extremely long distances (I think the record take-out measure is classified). |

| #2 Notice the Gun Trucks copula is clean at beginning of video and about 3/4 through it has taken a sniper round in the right forward glass. @ 4:57 + - you can see sniper rounds impacting the front armor plate for the .50. |

| #1 I assume that the sniper was being hauled off in that red blanket near the end of the video? |
