Default Sniper shots

Yeah, this is from a comedy website: http://www.cracked.com/article_19750...ever-made.html

I remember seeing the video of #2, it happened near me, on Columbus' NW side. The video commentary with its English accent is amusing, it was the county sheriff's SWAT team, not "light infantry soldiers" that did it.

Considering the average SWAT team has more firepower than an infantry section, you an forgive us humble limeys for mistaking them

The best part is in the comment thread:

"No mention of Simo Hayha? He only killed eight Russians with a single bullet."

"These shots weren't impossible by his standards. When they mentioned Hughes "Praying to the sniper gods" Simo Hayha is specifically who he was praying to."

Ha!

I also wrote a bit about Simo Häyhä in my ramblings about Finland -thread, which I should update again one of these days...
