With a M2HB .50cal Browning Heavy Machinegun, with a 10X Unertl scope on top, in single shot mode. Very impressive. The target was a 10 year old VC courier pushing a bicycle with a bunch of rifles strapped to it. He actually made two shots. The first one took out the forks of the bike (because he didn't want to shoot a kid), but when the boy picked up the bike and kept going, the second shot ended his service to the Viet Cong for good. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, as it's been a long time since I read the book).

8,000 yards!? Tell your friend he's full of ****. With a .308 Win I'd believe 1500 yards, MAYBE even 1800, but 8,000?!

Like the saying goes, I was born in the dark...

...but it wasn't last night!
