Quite a mouthful, right?  Of course it is, but its all worth it when you can reach out and touch someone at ranges that would impress upon the victim as having just suffered an act of god.This opening scene of Shooter is way better than the Future Weapons video I was about to post.  Not only does it show him taking out people with the CheyTac, he also takes out a Kiowa Warrior helicopter with a Barrett M107, what badass scene!Note, the rifle that he is firing is actually not the CheyTac, but a good scene sniper scene none-the-less.Sources <a href="http://www.defensetech.org" target="_blank">defensetech</a></blockquote>
