    Wow took a long time to get to the end of this one...

    But I think my favourite post was:
    in Ireland people wanting forearms have to get a sign off from their doctor.

    Let's hope it never gets that bad!

    +1. The affair in Cumbria was sheer bloody murder and the new sniping record was a legal act of war against a murderous enemy.

    Believe me Murph, this thread is and has been heavily moderated and closed for a time.

    There is a military forum where the sniper kill is more suited to.

    Read the first post in this thread as to why it's here.

    I have to disagree with you there John!

    There is not half as many people in the military forum that are actually into shooting, so how is it a more suitable place to discuss a shot like that?

    Because we don't shoot people in this forum, simple as that.

    The Cumbria shootings may have had legislative impact in the UK, which is sometimes followed here.

    Long range shooting, great, but not of people.

    But that long range sniper shot could have an impact on long range target shooting!

    Cumbria can potentially have a knock on legislative effect on Irish shooting. Therefore, it is relevant to Irish shooting (though, as already noted, the modding here has been very strong). A new sniping record by a British Army sniper can have absolutely no relevance to Irish sports shooting.

    Yes, but it's one all the mods agree on. There's a Military forum for this sort of thing murph, but it's not welcome here.
