We have a 15m mound behind the range filled with all sorts of left overs (bricks, barrels, etc) and I have only seen two escape out the other side and be implanted into the brick wall.

I'll go home and find out, I'll have to do it after next week though as it might have a negative effect on my psychiatric evaluation.

Good thing is you could do it from really long range too. I know the camera boxes are pretty heavy but I don't think they'll stand up to what was originally an antitank round.. (edit: or even anti-aircraft... f###it it'd still make a mess..)

I can shoot 1350 metres, but I have a guy that can shoot further and is very familiar with the Barrett....



...and yes it does make a mess as not all targets are armour.

What sort of grouping you get at that range? Not like you need to be in 5" for camera killing.

Me, well I just play with the Barrett as I had a sniper in the team back then as I had other things to keep me busy but he could get you within 5"....

There are a lot more things that come into play at these ranges!
