[QUOTE="Lisagrantb, post: 1677582, member: 39668"] I say the average officer is not proficient. It is not very demanding to qualify with your sidearm in the average us department. I have seen on many occasions it take all day to get some qualified. One time I had a class of federal bureau of prisons SORT snippers and i was working basic drills and gathering dope for their rifles to my surprise they have not shot at anything past 300 meters. something Like 80% of engagements for law enforcement snipers is under 100 meters but if you can hit proficiently at 500 then 2-300 becomes just that much easier, any ways I digress, so I get them on targets out to 1100m with their fgmm 178 grain 308 rifles and we had a good day. About a month later I’m talking to their team captain and he tells me that they placed first out of 80 federal teams at their annual sniper competition. They use this competition to rank the teams so they know who to send where depending on criticality of the engagement. I know there are better teams out there because I’ve shot with them before but just so happens they were the top dogs at that particular shoot. Don’t get me wrong there are some very good and motivated people in law enforcement, way better than I am but you never hear from or see them on the 5:00 news and I wonder why. [/QUOTE]
