#2 Yeah, sure. I can do that right now with a slingshot and a beer can that will penetrate body armour covered in back bacon and I don't need £30,000 to buy it.

#5 Bah. Go to the original source for .408 Cheytac or get their improved .375 CheyTac rifles.

#7 Unnecessarily expensive. Two miles is not the reason to use it. At two miles you might as well call in a drone. The velocity is why someone would need it. But it's still too damned expensive. I was told it's the lightweight materials used that are pricey. For that it's still 10kg. They have been testing it since 2015 in fact. I saw a prototype in 2016 when I attended their Army expo. They disassembled the thing and showed it to me. Named 'Sumrak' (Dusk or something) it was a sleek thing. The prototype was light too. About 8kgs, without the scope. The company makes bespoke arms and kits and sells these high priced things to ostentatious purchasers like the UAE I think.

#8 Seems like you could get a lot of guys whacked for 30 large, given that you'd be shooting people in the scruffier parts of the world where you have a good exchange rate. You'd need to know somebody, of course.
