As a triple award expert rifle shooter with the Marines, we are required to engage targets at 500 meters with iron sights as part of our basic rifle marksmenship course

Sorry, I think you misunderstood me. It CAN be done, just not easy. And, the targets at 500 yards are the big targets (sorry, forgot the exact name), not a little "krazy Ivan" target. Just that wind, temp, humidity, etc effect the round a lot more than 7.62.

If he WAS a terrorist, wouldnt you think that he could hit somthing at 100yds?

as far as the .223 goes (IMO) the round he picked was a decent choice just because its so popular. I wouldnt think that it would tumble unless your shooting really far... im gonna guess 600-800m(?) because its a fast bullet.

but has anyone heard anything on the two guys they caught last night/early thismorning? (10/3-10/4)

*L* Yeah probably a little bragging on my end ... I was the second highest pistol shooter in my unit (beat only by the range coach), and 12th overall highest shooter (pistol/rifle) on the base. Missed the top ten by 2 x's.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/816566.asp?pne=msn they seem to have some pretty good information on the up to date happenings.

i think they should beat him saverly till the edg of death then nurse him back to helth and then repete however many times hes shot someone dubel that amount for wemen and children.

Well, looks like all the circumstancial evidence points his way. Thankfully, the people in that area can go back about their normal lives. Hopefully, this is the end of it. I read his profile on CNN.com, he was pretty much as I guessed, except for the age. And the fact he wasnt working alone. Kudos to that truck driver...he shut them down good.

Let Virginia Try Them!!!!

I may live in Jersey now, but I was born and raised in MD. My folks still live off of Norbeck Road about 2 miles from where the Leisure World shooting took place.

I love and miss my home state, but I don't want them to try the case. Maryland wouldn't execute a rabid dog! Maryland is the softest, most liberal state in the nation and Montgomery County is the epicenter of the bleeding hearts. A few expert lawyers on CNN last night stated that the defense's best hope of keeping these animals alive is to try the case in Montgomery County Maryland.

I say give them to "Try'em and Fry'em" Virginia and put these B@st@rds where they belong belong, not in a 12' x6' cell, but 6 ' closer to hell!

Ummmm . . . well . . . put. Moving on. I was listening to the radio this morning(FNX) and somebody said something similiar to, "I think they should have the both of them drive to a gas station and get out to pump they're gas. Then, a law enforcement sniper should shoot 'em." I think that would be quite fair for Mr. Mohammad, a little gruesome for the 17 yr. old though, who basically just did the get-away driving(Mohammad/Williams was ex-Army,
Marksmenship grade with the M-16). Just my 2 cents.

It's a possibility that he dosn't even own a van. For all we know, he could drive an average sedan. After each shooting, he dosn't need to drive off. He can just chill out at a near by parking lot and be like your average Joe telling people "hey, have you heard about the latest shooting?? I dont think we can ever catch this guy".

once again i'm right

also i just found out that the chief of the ATF, Mr. Buchard, is my friend's dad. His name is also Mike Buchard.
