    swat snipers are trained like that because thety need to kill hostage takers and not hurt civilains but the army is trained to wound 1 man and kill the second

    Its allright ;)

    No its not at all standard training for becoming a SWAT sniper, but for skilled and pro SWAT sniper's it is a thing they often do, havent you ever heard of the so called "Nickel-shot" ??

    :lol: :lol: Absolutely nothing... Man your a master in missunderstanding stuff, Huh ?? :D

    Well, it did kind of look like you were ridiculing the magazine, by making it read "magazine" - quoting marks also have a relativating function.

    For example, when I was talking about Mengele in the 'most evil men of WW2' topic I did not call him a scientist, I called him a "scientist". A wannabe, a pretender, a fake...

    The very idea of shooting coins is foolish. In fact its probably against the law! You are not allowed tio disfigure money as you must know KBO.

    Too much cowboy films? jk :p

    It's certainly against the law in the UK, and I'm guessing the Netherlands, but it might not be elsewhere...

    Roel i just wanted to know if it really was a magazine, as it also very well could have been a book. (As i have a "Book" about SWAT ;) )

    Next subject:

    By shooting a hole in a coin, how can that in any way be illegal ?!

    Technically, it is a legal infraction to disfigure money. Then again, who is going to stop you or even care?

    I believe that somewhere in the previous century the Dutch government issued a new coin, which was however so thin that it could be bent and even folded with relative ease. Because this happened all the time, at some point the coins were simply withdrawn. I don't think any people were arrested though! ;)

    Personally, I don't think it's illegal to disfigure money, as long as you realize that you can't pay with disfigured money!

    What...! I was once out shooting with some of my friends, and we shot after tea-cup's at 350m. And i shot 3 tea-cup's in a row with a normal 7.62mm hunting rifle without scope, and without missing a single one.... "No problem !!" An AR15 should be able to do the same, at least !.

    Well, ok.. couldnt quite understand it either :eek:

    Because had it been an 5.56x45mm AR15, then it wouldnt be to much of a problem...
