Awesome thread, love the title

Feels like I'm in Highlander

Keep'em coming, lads

[Kakemonster]

Map: Kashan
Team: MEC
Location: Bunker opposite of South Bunker
Marksmen/Sniper: Sniper
Approx. Distance: 800-900
How long the bullet took to hit the target: maybe 2sec
Additional Details: I was just learning the sniper kit and was getting some nice kills on top of the bunker, when i noticed a US sniper and a spotter on top of the mountain to the east. Sure enough i aimed maybe 2 meters above the sniper, waite some seconds and shot, and the sniper went down. The spotter seemed like he wanted to kill me so he stayed. I aimed and shot one more time and he was down too

Another kill that happened the same game was when I and my squad was at the buildings between the bunkers and North Village. There was a Humwee with a guner at NV and he was shooting at us. I aimed and shot him straight through the little crack at the gunner seat maybe 600m away. Best kill so far!

I thought I'd ask this here..

When determining bullet drop, you use the binoculars correct? Does the 1 on there means 1000 meters or 100 meters?

Thanks

Map: Ramiel
Team: Insurgent
Location: Somewhere around the northern part of the map
Marksmen/Sniper: Sniper
Approx. Distance: 400 meters
How long the bullet took to hit the target: less than 1 second???
Additional Details: That was a fun shot, just because I had a stolen sniper kit and asked a collaborator to put me in a high, nice spot. So I stayed basically an entire round sniping mainly enemy medics and officers!

[hellbounde]

Map: Ejod Desert
Team: MEC
Location: West Mountains
Marksmen/Sniper: Sniper
Approx. Distance: 1000
How long the bullet took to hit the target: 1/2 secs
Additional Details: 3 CO trucks moving out to build a firebase in the hills, whilst the soldiers were building, the officer was running towards them, i took a shot and he collapsed, then took down the surrounding soldiers, whilst my Spec Ops frined put down some c4 to destroy it.

[McBumLuv]

Map: Fools Road
Team: Brits
Location: Just north of the Bridge, in cover up in the hills.
Marksmen/Sniper: Sniper
approx. distance: 300-400 meters
How long it took the bullet to reach: less than half a second
Additional information: Tank was camping our main, staying just outside it on the North side of the Bridge. SL was Spotter, and we were the only ones not pinned downed at main. I sniped one of the Crew who got out and fiddled with his field dressings, whilst my spotter asked the CO for an artillery barrage. Long and short of it, probably the most constructive thing a sniper squad has ever done for their team !

Map:Qinling I believe?
Team:Cheinese
Location: (Exact coordinates if possible) Village-On the hills west of it.
Marksmen/Sniper:Sniper
Approx. Distance:250m
How long the bullet took to hit the target:.5s?
Additional Details:

We set up a sniper squad for Qinling (Whatever it's called, has the big lake in the middle). We hit the hills west of outpost and were reporting on details. I made 2 snipes across the lake on guys building an FB. Soon after, 2 snipers on the other team actually came up near us, but we managed to eliminate them before they saw us. Down in the village there was an enemy squad, but we could not quite pin the location. I saw an officer standing in the middle of one of the courtyards to the south, so I took the shot. He dropped, 3 seconds later a medic ran up, dropped him. 3 seconds later another medic ran up, dropped him. 3 seconds later somebody dropped smoke and went to pick up a medic kit. Unfortunately for him, the location he decided to hide in was actually just to the right of the smoke, so I had a very narrow view on him. Killed him before he could heal the squad. The other 2 guys were taken out in the main courtyard by my fellow sniper...

Was a very epic sniper moment!

Map: Kashan Desert
Kit: Mec Marksman
Loc: On the big ridge near the bunkers
Distance: 740-750 meters (according to marker target)
Story: Me and the squadleader staring at this guy running about in the bunker compound. I had a marksman rifle, so i took the shot, after a mag'n' a half i managed to hit the guy on one well aimed shot right in the head, as he was moving in a straight line towards some containers. Was greatest laugh ever.

with the sniper i did a 800shot on Kashan as US sniper on the same ridge on a guy in deployed AA.

EDIT: ( Infact i did alot better later on, heres a lil vid YouTube - PR 0.8 Sniper )

Approx. Distance: ~700 m
