The intention is to show what it takes to make hits past the half kilometer, with a well-trained team, comprised of guys who have both graduated the Marine Scout Sniper Course at Quantico where they spend the majority of 8 weeks watching 7.62 Match go down-range.
With years of experience & training, a sniper team can be a very effective tool in support of dismounted units who need a high probability of 1st-round hit at extended ranges with extreme prejudice, with an extremely low risk for collateral damage.
Equipping a regular rifleman with a carbine or rifle that is effective at these ranges is a waste of resources, in my opinion.
