Personal redemption is earned through moral reflection after the fact, I'd say you've earned it my friend.

barret is a company, they make many different different guns, the military does too. and the barrets the military issue are normally 50 cal but in some cases a bowling ball sized bullet isnt necessary so they use the 7.62s.
True, but I believe that they also offer .416 Barret, .338 Lapua & possibly others.

when my kid was five i bought him two hamsters and he put them on his blanket, on his bed and snapped the blanket up to make them fly in the air and one hit the ceiling and died an hour later, the other got away that same night and was never found. LOL
Wheeeeeee *Thud*
I'd like to hear more of this.I have. and fucking proud of it my friend. Not sure on how many I killed.. but I know its quite a few.
The reason I'm proud of it, is because if I wouldn't have killed them, they would have killed me or taken me as a POW... and I wasn't about to let that happen.
Fucking terrorists..
I remember one shot in particular. I was hiding behind a brick wall.. and I couldn't advance forward because the terrorist had a sniper up on a rooftop taking shots at me.. I watched him through my scope and realized that he's going to run out of ammunition and eventually have to reload.. and sure enough, as soon as he took his last shot before having to reload, I lined up my scope.. put the cross-hairs right onto the other snipers left eye.. and shot. Fucking rag-head didn't even know what hit em'... lol.
I used the .50cal 50BMG (12.7x99mm) or 12.7x108mm. Effective range of such rifles is up to 1500 meters and above, depending on size of target and quality of the ammunition.
I remember during sniper school.. our instructor showed us these 'tracer' rounds. They're called 'tracers' because when you fire the weapon.. the bullet actually leaves a trail.. where you can actually tell where the shot went. Tracer rounds are bad to the bone too.. can do some major damage.. even to heavy armored vehicles/people.
They've also got rounds that once they hit the target.. they explode. They explode with the force of about one single hand-grenade.. those were very deadly rounds if I may add.
I have to say though.. the #1 thing that scared me the most back then... was I.E.D. bombs. We didn't really have the technology back then, that we have now. I mean shit, now.. the military has robot soldiers. Yes, robots!! These things can detect when they are being fired upon.. and they immediately track where the bullet came from.. calculate the position of the enemy person/persons shooting at it.. and then can either be setup to fire the M14-Carbine (not yet released for U.S. military use.. but will soon replace the all too familiar M16) or it can be setup prior to the mission.. to fire rocket-propelled grenades.
I like the way the military is going.. I like the idea of not using people for certain missions. I eventually think, which it may not be in my lifetime.. but eventually the U.S. Military will replace all human soldiers.. with robots and other intelligent machines.. that will go and fight the war for us. Trust me, its coming.. just a matter of time.
Anyhow, I hope killing terrorists counts?
peace.

Somone who is not me has previously made good money collecting debts. This sometimes involved hurting people. Eventually it came down to moving up and going all the way. He realized that morally, he felt had absolutely no issue killing someone, which scared the shit out of him. Being relatively self-aware, he realized that this was a bit of a crossroads, and essentially a black and white choice between being a bad person and happy about it, or being a bad person and making an effort to be good.
He got out of all of it, moved, became a virtual pacifist, and now tries very hard to be a good person. It sounds rather campy when you put it like that, but he's 100% sure that that is the only thing he could really do, and if he can't naturally be empathetic towards others, he sure as hell can train himself to be. It appears to be working, and I'd say his life is probably much closer to normal than he would have figured it could be.
I know no one gets killed in the story, but that's as close anyone I'm personally familiar with has come to intentionally killing someone.
@CG
Aren't exploding .50 cal round very, very much against the Geneva convention?

that dude is full of bs, and has no idea what he's talking about. a tracer is a normal round but with a magnesium core shoved up the projectiles ass. then it get a bit of orange paint to id it.. i was a 50 gunner and it bugs me when people talk out their asses about the military. if you weren't there you don't know, if you were there and never went outside the wire then only talk about what you know, incoming rounds, kbr, mwr, burger king standard non combat personnel kinda shit pogs don't see shit... the worst pog's see is bloody humvees. if you did go outside the wire, you don't want to talk about it.I'd like to hear more of this.

I cant imagine why, they are usually a little slow, and smell horrible. in the field when on mission, whether its combat or training they shit and piss where they are laying to get off the shot, and they gotta crawl with that mess.. I dont know why anyone would come back and say thats what they did.. fuck that.

Oh, I'm sorry, that's awful...LMFAO omg i was recently tramautized when i saw one of my kittens die
I saw my little doggie take it's last breath and yeah, it ruined a few weeks for me.
That gurgling and the look in it's eyes of confusion, pain, and panic -- and then the hopeless feeling of not being able to do anything. It was terrible.
The dog was old though...
