I don’t even want to hear your reasoning.

I saw a show about snipers, and for shots this long of course they take into account windage but also the coriolis effect. Basically because the shot covers so much ground and takes such a long time to be on target you need to compensate for the spin of the earth. AWESOME. I can’t think of anything more that I would rather be in a time of war than a sniper. Give me my ghillie suit and put me 1.5 miles away from danger. And since I am sick-nasty at modern warfare I should be just as good at real war…
