New Sniper Rifle

[Exnav]

The three Navy SEAL snipers who killed the pirates off the coast of Somalia last weekend were lucky the buccaneers were gullible enough to allow their lifeboat to be towed farther out to sea by the U.S.S. Bainbridge. The shortened towline turned what could have been a trio of difficult shots across hundreds of yards of ocean into relatively easy 30-yd. pops. It's a safe bet future pirates won't be so naive. But the Pentagon is drawing up a project to make it easier to hit targets at much longer distances: a super-sniper rifle called the EXACTO, short for EXtreme ACcuracy Tasked Ordnance.

when the news first aired the story not many details were known, other than some snipers took out 3 pirates. i had originally assumed they made some badass 1000yd shot or silently swam up to the boat and popped out of the water like rambo. but then come to find out they were just towing the pirate boat closely behind , kind of took all the coolness out of it . probly could of thrown a rock and hit them between the eyes at 30yds or whatever it was. navy did a good job none the less though and im glad the captain is doing well

Gotta love Time / CNN - if you notice on the page with the article in the first post:

"Ten Years After Columbine, It's Easier to Bear Arms"

What a load of Bullshit! So, because of Columbine, nobody should be able to legally carry a gun?
