Sniper shots

[kcdusk]

Fictional sniper. 10 strength and 10 rifle skill = 20 to hit.

M21 with bipod has range 75m + 15m = 90 for aimed shot with scope (short range), 180m Medium, 360m long, 720m extreme.


Using rules V2.2 our sniper shooting an aimed shot with sniper rifle, bipod and scope at an open target (i.e. no concealment or cover) 720m away would need to make a to hit roll of 5 or less (20 / 4 (aimed shot with rifle treated as formidable not impossible)).

So a 25% chance.

1. Do you think 25% is too high or low for this shot?

2. Its been reported that shots of 1,200 --> 1,600m have hit in real life. How do you allow or account for this in your game?

3. Do you allow any other positive modifiers in your games?
