Real World Target Engagement Sequence

[stanc]

I would expect nothing less from the NYT...demoralization per KGB ideological warfare strategy. Anybody feel motivated after watching that? How about support for the troops...increased or decreased?

Communist conspiracy, or not, don't blame the messenger.

The NYT didn't make the Marines hide behind the wall, or launch a guided missile at the wrong target.

I doubt the video had any noticeable effect on either increasing or decreasing support for the troops.

But, all that is off the subject of sniper effectiveness, so I'd rather not get bogged down in such a discussion.

When I labeled the first vid a Target Engagement Sequence, I was referring to a specific partnership that exists between a sniper and his spotter. It was intended to illustrate the communication and ballistic considerations that a 2-man sniper team uses when developing and executing a firing solution on a target. Hopefully, the dialog can continue in that regard since there have been questions about the integrated act of firing at long range.

I must've missed those questions. Or do you mean the proposals to replace 5.56 with a long-range cartridge (like the 6.5 Grendel or 7 UIAC) for ordinary riflemen as well as machine gunners?
