RattlesnakeBob Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I caught an episode on TV last night of 'Future Weapons' although it's an old programme from 2007 that investigated a new American sniper rifle called the 'CheyTac Intervention'..... ...A mighty impressive piece of kit.....especially when it hit holes in a piece of half inch steel plate at getting on for 2000 yards range...then the presenter chap also managed to get 3 shots on a target at 2530 yards ......... quote from Wiki: On the Discovery Channel TV show Future Weapons April 9, 2007 episode "Massive Attack" the host Richard Machowicz, a former United States Navy SEAL, made 3 out of 6 shots hit a human sized sheet of metal at a distance of 2,530 yards (2,313 m) at Arco Pass in Idaho. The weapon utilises a hand held computer to calculate wind/range etc which makes it pretty much infallible I'd guess.... .............Has anybody that's been in recent service come across this rifle?.... it sure seems a good bit of kit to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I remember the episode, the computer calculated the changes in wind speed between the rifle and target and then gave an offset for the scope. It was quite impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
