that would have easily killed him if the sniper wasn't a noob. he should have gone for the head shot, as the guy wasn't moving at all when he made the shot.
nope. It's pretty much 7.62 only. Marine corps uses the m40a3, army uses the m24. Both 7.62
.50 cal is quite rare. It wasn't designed to be used against people in the first place, though it works well against people too. But I'd imagine that everyone would choose the m40a3 or the m24 over the barret m82 unless they really need the power of the .50 cal.
As far as I know the m82 is used almost exclusively by special forces. (in the US forces)

you hit a guys head from several 100 yards away, than see who is talking, its not lining up the cross hair and shooting dude, you have to find the distance to the target, calculated bullet drop, and rather our not the air will cause the bullet to raise, factor in wind, THAN you can shoot
well first of all it's 7.62x51.
And not "some of your snipers", but probably around 95% of your snipers.
And as for the head or chest, I've heard that the modern standart is to aim for the chest. Larger area to hit, and the bullets are pretty deadly so the chance for a kill is huge.
ohh and rudster, don't you never ever quote future weapons if you want to sound like a guy who actually knows something about weapons.
edit: ohh and I don't think we are hijacking this thread, in the beginning this was about body armor and snipers, and now we are talking pretty much about the same thing.
I've hit a three-inch (roughly the size of a head) diameter target at 200 yards with my deer hunting rifle. If I can do it, a sniper with their skills can do it too.
they are untrained, they train themselves, and when its a person its harder, they can move at any second and when you face being killed afterwards it really makes a difference
I hope your not saying our Army is untrained. Because the sniper school is hard, and boy do they train for it.
I think we have the longest kill on record with one?
