I've never had the opportunity to fire a live round, although I've been on the electronic ranges that the armed forces over here in the UK use. My dads in the RAF reserves and his sqn had a family open day so I got a chance to fire the L85 on the range. Things like recoil are matched exactly by compressed air or something. Anyway, the RAF regiment guy was watching me and said some regulars don't get consistent shots like I did. 100% hit rate, all in the head , he said "Your supposed to aim for the bullseye in the chest" . He asked me what I wanted to do in the RAF and I said pilot, he then replied "Bah you should join the RAF Regiment, be a sniper!" (I was actually tempted for about 0.5 seconds!)

Nice shooting, would love to get the chance to fire some live rounds.
