They'll get a pat on the back for reducing the amount of ammunition used! Every round saved helps the budget!

The MoD will issue a note to all infantry expecting them to achieve the same kind of frugal spending of ammunition in order to conserve stocks now, just you see.

I went out and measured off 200 feet (A 3rd of my back yard)
Given your in front or behind that line of travel?
It's a fairly easy shot provided they were traveling in a straight line.
What makes it a GREAT shot?
I would have gone for a body shot to insure the Targets were eliminated.
He got a double head shot!
That makes it outstanding in my book!
My Commanders would probably have chewed my arse out for even attempting the head shot!

Aye, that we still are judging by the Argylls, and good on them I say, they do not like it up 'em, they do not like it up 'em!

I thought the longest shot belonged to a Canadian sniper team with the .50 caliber round?

Edit: Quick check, I stand corrected,

You men fix bayonets and I shall follow behind with my swagger stick.

The only thing nowadays to cut things with is paper. Damn it smarts, and the bureaucracy is killing the forces.
