Telling me that you are awesome and could hit a target at 2000 meters and beyond doesn’t answer my question of what sort of threat a person who is 2000 meter away from you could possibly pose.There are enough of us that have the talent to pick off from a very long range. I would have great success in that range and beyond.. You better believe others will as well. Those that don't will surely try and get lucky enough to matter. Especially if you have a buddy to be your spotter.
My gen grew up learning these skills from our parents who fought in WWII/Vietnam. If you have/had someone close that fought in a war you would know to do anything possible to prevent another. The public really has no idea of the carnage. Anyone wanting one has never fought in one.
In war sure snipers have a function but in self defence?
