Like many of your posts lately I was right with you up until your last sentence. Maybe you should leave the last sentence out of your posts from now on and you will be my hero.

He's using a .223 rifle, or so I heard mentioned. Question is, does he take the time to aim for the brain? Media is so friggin dumb. IE:Sniper kills people. And am like how? Did he have to shoot them 6 times in the torso? Did he just hit the brain once? Did the victims die of bloodloss or in hospital? Stupid media. :(
I mean class III body armor would totally save your ass against Mr sniper, but that's not nice to always be wearing.

My father was a Marine during WWII; on Bouganville, the Japanese snipers started using greased cocoanut wood bullets, the reason being, if you hit a man ANYWHERE on his body, the projectile shattered and tumbled; that left horrendous damage, so they effectively removed about 4 potential combatants, because it takes several men to tend one wounded soldier. Sometimes killing an opponent isn't the best idea.

That's why landmines blow your legs off rather than your head...
Calum:
right. several things.
this shooting is sick and deserves a really nasty punishment.
this will get turned into a 'war on terrorism' issue, if it possibly can
this IS a gun control issue, whether you choose to ignore that fact or not
it is in no way 'neat' or 'cool' or anything of the sort.
Also, how do you know that these shootings are the same guy if they haven't caught him? might be some weird cult all killing different people at arranged times... i heard that there were several different weapons involved (but that several of the killings had been made using the same gun).
HPC GUY:
im not a gun control freak either but this brings to mind a quote
"they say guns dont kill people, people do. But i think the gun helps. you cant just sit there and go BANG! BOOM! POW! BANG BANG! and expect a person to die..youd have to be really dodgy on the heart.." -Eddie Izzard
