Re: beast of omaha
Wow, i'll poke around some on this too, 1000 even seems kinda high. But D-Day was a long day, and The Beast of Omaha fired 12,400 rounds. Very likely that he hit 1500 (guess) and killed 1000. It was so hectic on that day that he may even be credited for hitting Americans that other GErmans hit first. Spraying fire everywhere. Still, makes you think. I know for a fact that in Iraq, ,there was a sniper in Baghdad who killed nearly 50 Iraqi, American and British soldiers on one day. They didn't know where he was shooting from, sniped a bunch of people and finnally was killed in an airstrike. When the US troops entered the building they found nearly 100 spent shells and nearly 100 more at the ready. If he hadn't been killed by an airstrike, then he could have killed nearly 150 people (max) in one day. Sniper, SVD, not a machine gun!!!
Anyway, possible. Intresting....
