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… Except to be a sniper takes some of the most ridiculous training ever, its some serious shit to go through to “maybe” get the chance to place some cross-hairs on a real target. Definitely one of the toughest jobs mentally to have. Oh and in war, there is no such thing as being away from danger. > [@Shutup about the iPhone already...](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/shutup-about-the-iphone-already/31491/138): > > But… > > There’s no respawn points in RL. ^This. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/brit-sniper-sets-new-sharpshooting-record/251973)._
