Maximum range- or maximum EFFECTIVE range? Depending on the rifle, some have a maxium range of more than 5 miles, and an effective range of around 1500 meters. However, there is no one set range- will depend on the rifle, caliber- and the shooter.
Depends on the caliber, barrel type, optics, and skill of the shooter. Most well built bolt action rifles in the .30 cal range are effective to about 700 meters.
During Viet Nam (1967) we were allowed to use a personal sniper weapon in Special Forces. I selected a Springfield 1906, World War II, sporterized with a 9X variable scope, a 7 lan twist bolt action rifle that I could hit a bottle cap at 1,000 yards with. We used competition rounds that had a little more powder than the normal rould with 180 grain bullet. As the person above said, it depends on the skill of the shooter and the rifle itself. Hopes this helps a little.
460 m, or 500 yards. However, the M25 version of the same rifle (sniper version) has a maximum EFFECTIVE range of 900 meters.
We'll, a Canadian sniper pulled off a kill at more than 1.5 miles
It depends on the gun! artillery can be fired from 10-20 miles away and some sniper rifles can fire 2-3 miles but a shotgun has a maximum range of about 50m.
A shot gun is more effective
lol if youre the solo target of a sniper attack chances are you wont have the time to take the correct action.
The falling action is after he kills the enemy sniper, he sees the dead body fall off the roof top. At this point, he is is feeling remorseful. He is also curious to see the face of the enemy sniper.
Bolt action.
rising action in a literary sense is the action leading up to the climax.
800,000 feet
The rising action of the sniper is from when the man gets shot till the time that he finds out it is his brother that he shot. the climax is when he looks at him and he sees that it is his brother. also the rising action could be when he shoots the other sniper (his brother). then the falling action would be the rest. either one of these should be acceptable. being as both are right
So that snipers could be more effective.
There are many games available for the PC that have realistic sniper actions. Some of these games include Sniper Elite, Sniper Ghost War and Arma two.
