Sniper - Inside the Crosshairs

[LaAngler]

The deadliest weapon on the battlefield is neither bullet nor gun; it's the lone sniper. Journey inside the science and psychology behind the greatest shots in military history, through the scope of the world's most extreme marksmen. Deconstruct the missions, ranging from Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan, presented by the men who were there and pulled the trigger. For the first time on American television Canadian sniper Robert Furlong, tells the story of his history-making shot in Afghanistan--striking a Taliban fighter from 1.5 miles away. Ballistics... Tactics... Weaponry... Stalking... This two-hour special examines these critical components in vivid detail, combining interviews with cinematic reenactments, CGI and present day shooting demonstrations to put the viewer squarely inside the crosshairs.

effective range of a 308 is 800 yards. after that it loses to much energy to be effective at killing. not saying it wont but most people dont take kill shots after 800 with it. anything before 800 is dead in its tracks. 308 ballistics arent all crazy like other hot rounds but the short case with the 30 cal bullet is one of the most accurate. and recoil is low making it easier to shoot and concentrate more on the shot and not the recoil
