Josh: I wanna go shoot my new sniper rifle.
Tris: So go *shooing motion*
Josh: Wanna come?
Tris: Are we going to use Correlians as target practice? I could download some of their badges, print them out and tape them to the targets.
Josh: You scare me. No.
Tris: How about $RW books?
Josh: Yeah, see, I don't think they will let us use those at the rifle range.
Tris: Book of Mormon? Watchtower? Jack Chick tracts? Jehovah's Witless VHS tapes? Bush-Cheney bumper stickers? Yellow support our troops car magnets?
Josh: Paper targets, hon, universal non-descript could-be-anyone profile targets.
Tris: Not worth my time, then. Let me know when you decide to get serious.
Josh: Do our Elders know about this side of you?
Tris: Who do you think gave me those ideas?
Josh: Good point.

Oh yeah. Ma Deuce is my friend. Never fired any of the .50 BMG rifles, more's the pity. Most of my really long range shooting was dome with slightly larger stuff: TOW missiles, tank cannon, that sort of thing.

We are, by the way, creeping up on the M2's centenary in US service. 2023, I think. The small-arms boffins at Picatinny keep trying to build something that does the same things at a lighter weight, but they can't match the reliability
