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… But… There’s no respawn points in RL. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/brit-sniper-sets-new-sharpshooting-record/251973)._
